@dennyhamlin @AlextheAdm1ral Absolutely. I don’t miss a single lap of a single race if I can help it, but races are too long, 100%. I don’t want timed races, but an O’Reilly race is about the perfect sample size. I’m honestly surprised NASCAR hasn’t made a move to shorten races considering attention spans

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@LADHiner @SpeakerJohnson I was there. Just enjoying racing. No god 🙅🏻‍♂️

@jeff_gluck I’ve never seen it so crazy. We had to retire early to our seats lol

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@jeff_gluck It was the 7 truck pacing last night that gave me tears in my eyes, then Fox came back to air with a tribute and I lost it 😭

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@PrimeSportsPR @SportsonPrime @PrimeVideo @CLTMotorSpdwy @NASCAR The level above @SportsonPrime is above @NASCARONFOX is unreal 🔥

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@BrettBaldeck I promise you you’re not in the minority. The ghost car is so dumb

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@rubbinisracing Close but the cars were MUCH faster in 2007 and that makes Jimbo’s more impressive. Still a nice save tho

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@NASCARClassics @MonsterMile Bring back RACEcars 😔 these have always been fire.

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@ApexToAsphaltIE @WGI @NASCAR I am going to say this was a bargain deal.

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@joe_srigley Scott Miller. That’s a dangerous man when it comes to making educated decisions. I can’t believe he still works in the sport

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@jeff_gluck But he can’t even handle the competition department. How is he supposed to take on more responsibility? 🫠

@pitpassnetwork @Thenascarguru 💀💀

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@JamesKuch @tsuperspeedway @jeff_gluck So true. Commercials help fans come back right?

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@go_nhl_canes @NWBSpeedway @FaithFestNC @NASCAR_Trucks Amazing lol

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@A_S12 @NASCAR @NASCARSanDiego @SBJ @GettyImages Am I wrong to think that NASCAR has somebody out trying to get these sponsorships as the “official” brand of the sport like teams do, but in return they just keep taking sponsorship money away from teams? That seems so shitty and that’s my first thought every time I see these.

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@pkligerman And when it comes to the parts conversation, the list that is manufacture driven continues to dwindle. Could it turn into an engine situation like the Truck series too? If I had a choice, I would pick your route over changing with OEM objectives any day. I just want good racing

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@pkligerman This is an incredibly interesting take and I see what you’re saying here. OEM objectives change and maybe it’s best, if it’s possible, to not have the affiliation with OEMs and just ensure the racing product is good. Brand loyalty isn’t much of a thing anymore anyway IMO

[Derek James @derekjames66]

@ryanpistana It gives 2007 vibes when we completely changed the car when it was most popular
