Just a guy who loved exploring Oregon with the missus and Short Track iRacer that used to race at Saugus and Ventura. Any opinions are my own.

@jeff_gluck Late night Saturday hits different than late night Sunday. And people have a lot more responsibilities come Monday morning than they would on a Sunday morning.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

Try this today and you'll rip off the splitter and undertray. In other words, this epic moment cannot happen with today's cars.

[NASCAR @NASCAR]

The haters will say it wasn't a pass.

Whatever you call it, Dale Earnhardt's Pass in the Grass is still the stuff of legend.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@jeff_gluck @SiriusXMNASCAR So... Let's fix a car with too much grip by adding grip to the track itself.

Anyone else see a problem with this???

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@jeff_gluck @SiriusXMNASCAR Isn't that the same crap that's ruined Texas? I really wish the EPA would put a ban for on that crap. It's gotta be bad for health and the environment, in addition to ruining racing

@nascar_opinion 200 laps AFTER the eliminations? Bass ackwards. All comers :150 laps, top 16 advance. Then 50 laps, top 8 advance. Then 10 laps for the final round. A ten lap 8 car shootout seems to fit what NASCAR has been trying to do.

@beegjuan1 @SpotterBrett SVG... Mexican??? Laughing my fucking ass off. Dude, I have a feeling that you FAILED geography in your special ed classes.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@b1gnate_11 I've always heard Stenhouse is good in sprint cars. He should go do what he's good at.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@DirtyMoMedia I'll go along with the ditch the All-star crowd here. Every race is an all-star event, and they've dropped the criteria to make the all-star race to the point of why bother having it. Give Dover the 37th point race.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@bobpockrass @mikejoy500 All-star race should be the Saturday night on Mother's Day weekend.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@PopeBrodus24 @jeff_gluck According to FOX's cameras nobody could pass, but there's a lot of passing in the clusters of cars midpack. But since it's not for the lead, TV viewers never get to see it.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@JLRobertson264 @jeff_gluck They're most likely butthurt Hendrick fans. The same ones that said Texas was a great race just because Little Miss Popularity Contest won.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@DuszGlenn @saulrealgood @jeff_gluck And the first true Superspeedway was built when? 1959, five years later.
But some fans really prefer "hold the wheel straight and the throttle wide open" on tracks where actual skills matter so little, anyone, even Michael Waltrip, can win on them.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@Teenflagger74 @jeff_gluck That's what I thought when Little Miss Popularity Contest was winning them. Bet you liked RCs better then.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@GoDucks5_Mick @racingkhantz A driver I used to pit for had a code when he was sick of another driver's BS... "my brakes feel funny". Every time he said it, someone was getting punted.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@AustinKonenski They don't really need to build a new Cup car. Just use the O'Reilly's car in both series. If anything, add more power to it for Cup.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@EricEstepp17 Tracks that should go to one race each...
Daytona
Talladega

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@DirtyMoMedia I've heard that the fuel saving is because it takes less time to change tires than take a full tank. Mostly from people that want five lugnuts. Compromise... force manual lug wrenches, make it take a little longer to change tires.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@GOWENYT Face it, Talladega sucks.

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@CouchRacerShop Better question, what do you think about stage two?

[Mike Johannes @1stClassDesigns]

@Toby_Christie Stage two was a real banger. So many damaged cars that the race might as well be over.
