@jeff_gluck Was thinking the same thing. We’re not even here if @DaleJr never takes a weed eater to the place to scan it for iRacing.

@markmartin @NASCAR There’s even some title contenders running 15-20th and racing as if every point matters. Imagine that? 👊

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@markmartin for the first time in years, I’ve watched every lap of the 500 so far. Why? Because every point TODAY matters and the championship battle is already getting shuffled. Thank you for helping bring this format back!

@markmartin “Saving the owners money” has only cost the sport (and owners and drivers) in the long run and it’s led to the situation the sport is in right now. The NFL is king right now, are they trying to “save the owners money”? No…they’re investing money to make it bigger than ever.

@EricEstepp17 That car would’ve rolled last year.

@BarstoolWestern I’m going to assume the Indiana game was scheduled a few years ago during their 3-9 era 😂

@KySportsRadio We might be the only town in the U.S. for our population which has two separate hospital entities, two Walmarts and four Chick-Fil-A’s. It’s a hopping place.

@ClayTravis Something tells me the massive increases in home, auto and health insurance rates aren’t figured into the Feds “inflation” report? Glad it’s curbed off, but 18%+ increases in other essential services like insurance and medical costs make this news moot.

@markmartin Awful!!!!

@jeremymayfield_ @YouTube Ever since this trial started, it’s reminded me of your Dinner With Racers interview from years ago. Earnhardt was telling you right and he was spot on. Everyone thought you were crazy (even I had doubts), but you continue to be vindicated as time passes on.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@BarstoolWestern Just fine. Only 18 G5 schools went 8-4 or better this year. WKU was one of them. Due to the limited resources to attract recruits, funds, etc., I would argue it’s harder for a coach to go 8-4 at a G5 than going 8-4 at a Power 4 school.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@markmartin Hot take, but I’d argue Gordon is underrated and actually didn’t get enough credit. 93 wins in the modern era is a ridiculous number and may never be reached again!

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@BarryBartley3 @azwatergeek @markmartin The sport was historically built by owners and drivers who at one time pushed all their chips to the middle of the table and risked it all. It SHOULD be expensive and it SHOULD have financial risks…that’s what made it the best form of motorsports in the world.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@markmartin @NASCARHall I know you and Ben raced your guts out in 2002, but man I’ll always wonder if Jimmy could’ve made up 40 points to Stewart over the course of the season.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@jwlpc @markmartin Yeah, this racing is terrible. I’d rather see the leader aero blocking.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@markmartin Like Mark said in a recent interview: “We ain’t playing”. I might add it’s disrespectful to lump a sport as dangerous as auto racing in with stick & ball sports where the risks pale in comparison. I dare anyone to ask Preece if his barrel roll at Daytona was just “play time”.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@wxornotBG Fake Fall????

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@markmartin @YouTube When I became a fan in the 90s, the broadcast covering more about the technical side of the race car made me even more interested in the racing. If your guy was running 12th and he came to the pits to pull a spring rubber, you would stick around to see if it worked.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@KennyFr19 @markmartin If any fans need someone to root for, go listen to Ryan Preece’s interview on the @DaleJr Download. It’s an old school, betting on himself story.

[Joe Houchens II @JoeHouchens]

@6matthewmartin @markmartin Your dad’s earned every page he needs to pen his “why” in life and racing. I can’t wait!
