In person? I covered 22 NASCAR races in 2022, worked full-time NHRA and part time NASCAR and Indycar in 2023 and 2024, did 12 in three sports last year, and have reported from every MAIOR event in the United States. I KNOW the grind.
What about you?
How many races do you attend?
Do you have the experience of being at the track from 6am till 8 or 9pm? ...speaking of endurance.
Are you thinking about the EMS staff and police? The track staff? The officials? The pit crews? The fans who have 4 and 5 hrs drives home.
Easy to speak about endurance when it's viewed only from the couch and TV remote. Fuxk all the people at the track sitting there or making the show happen right?
Per NHRA Comms., Last weekend’s FOX SPORTS broadcast of the Potomac Nationals drew 905,000 viewers, up 15% from the comparable event a year ago and helped continue a strong start to the season, with four sellout race days through seven events.

I’m typically a Denny sympathizer, but today I cannot get my head around this one. Stage racing has only harmed my interest in the sport since 2017. Without endurance the event means less.
Still love ya, DH.
NASCAR: Goodyear is bringing a new right-side tire to Michigan this weekend for the NASCAR Cup Series, designed specifically to handle extreme speeds and loads of the 2-mile oval. The left-side tire remains unchanged from recent-intermediate races.
I’m rolling through a Target store and what do I see? MY race cars. The 2024 JFR FUNNY CARS. The most amazing year of memories in these hot rods. I loved my time at JFR, but I’m glad to be doing other things. Great memories with people I love.
I love that Penske doesn’t try to blur or hide old sponsors when they do throwback media. The fact that their job is to win for Chevrolet does not mean they are ashamed of winning with Honda. Great design and tribute for St. Louis.
Interstate Batteries announced it will honor the legacy of Kyle Busch by making a donation to the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund.
Interstate was a primary or associate sponsor on more than 200 of Busch’s career victories in NASCAR.
I prefer the terms traditional and frugal. My dad’s side are jews. Thanks for the unnecessary ethnicity comments. Congratulations on being an ass hole.
@TracksideAJ Same, regarding the choice not to have numerous streaming services (I no longer even have cable), an active Amazon account or for the most part shop online. I'm probably "missing out" on stellar presentations out there but 100% fine with it.
@Marc10711382 I render marketing services to companies, primarily in government and automotive spaces. I don’t need one. This post was not a dig on Amazon, my point was I’m not used to their product and was impressed.
I don’t have an Amazon account. I don’t shop online. I have no interest in buying a prime membership. But I also respect that it’s where we are in sports broadcasting.
Last night, I watched the race with my sister on her account. It was an outstanding presentation.
@Bentley7652 Im not complaining. All is well with what they offer. I just don’t want it. The point of the post, though was to compliment the production team on a great broadcast.
