Through his work with Dodge, Muhammad Ali served as grand marshal for the June 2001 NASCAR race at Michigan
He unexpectedly walked into the drivers meeting and received a standing ovation, telling the drivers, "If I had a fast car, I'd be out there racing against you."
@Dragracemayhem@MightyMack03 We filmed a few pilot episodes when I was there. Not sure what their plans are right now. I know they did several more in 2025.
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.
