Did @NashvilleSuperS tighten their rules on drinks again? I’m still pissed of I can’t bring a cooler or beer in, but now it can only be water? I don’t remember that from years past and I have usually taken in a Coke or 2 with no issue. Next year they’ll ban ice packs. Watch.

@BubbaWallace shared the lasting impact Kyle Busch has had on him with @MartySmithESPN ahead of the Coca-Cola 600.
Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
I can’t beleive what I’m reading. How is Kyle Busch gone? Say what you want, but dude was a great. Talent. I will riot on May 31st if a guitar is not smashed in victory lane.
I went to Nashville Fairgrounds yesterday to test @HoosierTire for the upcoming @CARSTour race there on April 11th. I had a lot of fun. I hadn't ran a lap there since middle of 1999. I raced there a dozen times in the mid 1990s when it was a hotbed for Late Model Stocks. You'd have 30 cars for a weekly 100 lap feature. It was amazing. Somehow the Late Model Stock footprint receded to western Tennessee over the years.
Anyhow, the track is fast. There are some weeper issues and a massive bump off turn 2 but it wasn't nothing of real concern. We also got a chance to test mufflers. The noise ordinance makes them a requirement. Speaking of which, Marcus Smith wants to build a sophisticated sound barrier around the track once the local government can get on board. Another conversation for another time.
It was emotional to make those laps yesterday. Like visiting an old friend and realizing they still were the same person you always admired. Cant wait to have our Pro and Late Model Stock cars there next month. We plan to be in town at Tootsies on Thursday evening to promote the tour and hopefully allow some folks to meet our drivers. It's gonna be a big weekend. Hope to see ya there. If ya cant, you can catch it live on @FloRacing
On April 11th, a new chapter begins.
An icon of Nashville nightlife, @tootsiesnet, teams up with the best short track touring series in the country for one unforgettable night at @RaceFairgrounds.

Let’s all agree to win with class. Remember, hockey is our 4th best sport as a country and it’s all Canada has so we need to be kind when we tell the rest of the world to suck our dicks from the back 🇺🇸
