Kaulig third car in Cup because why the hell not at this point… #NASCAR

[Jade Avedisian @jadeavedisian]

Tomorrow- Noon 12 EST ✍️

Any guesses?

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

@mearn She ain’t gettin the home version

@philenespanol You never know, unrelated political matters might need more punishing some day.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

This has that exhausting “endorsement of some bullshit edible or vape product incoming” all over it.

Snoop Dogg announces that he has quit smoking.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

I get the first reaction is probably “no of course not so long as he does ok and top 15s it most of the time it’ll be fine” as it’s his first big time ride…but it’s an interesting question to me as Kaulig is literally all about the trophies, at least in image.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

Here’s a question for you: does Josh Williams HAVE to win a race in xfinity next year? What’s the benchmark to success with this opportunity as you see it? Would grooving into the playoffs be enough? #NASCAR

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

So is broadcast legend Ken Squier being the announcer in a cheesy 80s BMX movie a known thing? Am I last to the party on this? Rad - 1986.

Credit to @iblamethedingos with the intel. #NASCAR

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

@hallieimrie Possibly, it might even be why Ned Jarrett was more of a pit road guy at first.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

Sidebar question to my second thought here: was Benny Parsons the first driver commentator that could “talk your ear off” (lovingly) in NASCAR?

Buddy Baker usually kept it short, Richard Petty wasn’t really an on the fly speaker…hmmm. Thoughts? #NASCAR

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

For me, Ken Squier was that “first” voice of the season as CBS had the Daytona 500 for most of my childhood.

His narrative style worked really well back when color commentator drivers were mostly “men of few words” and it welcomed millions new to stock car racing. RIP #NASCAR

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

Ned Jarrett was very informative but that’s probably why he worked the pits for so long before being a booth guy.

@JEGSPerformance I like the part when I can see them purty cars.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

@cjones300 There was an agreement where it was limited what things like iRacing could use and so on, yeah.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

Penske and IndyCar still deserve the grief for going along with an exclusive license for IndyCar. Someone involved should have known better. #IndyCar

@bobpockrass DAVE MARCIS THROWBACK PLEASE

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

@Tom_Engels_Desk Oh no….

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

Tough break for the Browns, but they were at least smart going into this year. They signed a kid at QB with some experience back in March. I hear he’s really smart and agile to boot.

So long as they didn’t trade him away or something stupid like that…

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending surgery on a broken bone in his throwing shoulder.

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

@trafficparadise Bernard Pollard energy still alive in Baltimore

[Matthew Burroughs @MJBurroughs]

@AlexWoodWeb I know you’re probably just upset rn but “gay crush” isn’t a derogatory thing like you’re trying to make it to be…and isn’t a good idea to toss around, especially if you’re looking to go into legit media.

Just a nickel’s worth of free advice.
