@WoOLateModels PR guy. @appstate alum. Mediocre golfer. Go @Braves and @Canes. Connoisseur of all things fast & loud.

To confirm, none of us officials had any knowledge of this until 10 minutes before the feature.

DV got word first, @Crkline29 said something to me in the infield, I thought it was a joke. A minute later, @ChrisDolack calls, and before I answered I thought "Oh this is happening"

I can't be the only one who's way less excited about Leah Pruett racing her husband than I am about Leah racing her ex-husband

[Competition Plus @competitionplus]

It hasn’t happened yet — but everyone in drag racing knows it’s coming.
Tony Stewart says the hype around racing his wife, Leah Pruett, is overblown… but Matt Hagan believes the moment will be historic when it finally happens.

Had plenty of great times in the back of Billy's trailer in my year on the road with ASCS. Didn't cross paths as often since then, but I walked in that trailer at Volusia last month and felt like I never left.

This one hurts. Praying for the family.

@RossWece Damn good show from the cheap seats as well

Never have I seen two Waffle Houses this close together. Can pretty much see the sign for one of them while standing in the parking lot of the other.

I've been here for an hour and Fort Myers has my stamp of approval already.

That's a funny way to spell "Distraction from Darryl Cuttell Fund"

I'm sitting here watching a Cup race on a Wednesday night at Bowman Gray in the sleet.

The world really is just a giant game of Mad Libs

When your flight home from Volusia gets rebooked to Wednesday, you take the opportunity to add track number 93 to the list a month early

Considering the forecast in NC for the rest of the week, I think I would like to climb in this giant tube that will whisk me away to central Florida

Figured today was a good day to make my first visit to Dillon for America's biggest bang banger spectacular.

Race number 1 of 2026, track number 92

SMART at Wake County just makes too much sense not to happen, glad it's finally on the schedule.

Looking forward to hitting a couple of the springtime stops before the WoO season kicks into high gear.

Gotta assume the Modifieds are Monday afternoon so that they have room for a Monday night primetime Snowflake if that gets postponed.

Which would be a solid backup plan if needed

[Short Track Scene @ST_Scene]

An early schedule change to the Derby Week schedule. Modified of Mayhem will now run Monday afternoon.

With the forecast ever changing, Monday’s schedule is not set in stone. Those updates will come when we have them.

@stegall97 @MattWeaverRA The three legs of the Virginia Triple Crown (Thunder Road 200, Hampton Heat 200, ValleyStar 300) and then this one. As far as I'm concerned anyway
