Typical Brian and NASCAR. Trying to take all the headlines away from Chase.
Pretty cool the Dawsonville drivers BOTH getting their first on the road course. It's in their blood!! I hear Bill is going to try the Xfinity (or whatever) race at Road America.... |

I read this too; he's 62 years old now if I remember correctly what I read! Is this a record in NASCAR? Be good to see the old boy behind the wheel, show the youngsters a few things!

And a quick search shows Hershel McGriff is the oldest to drive a NASCAR sanctioned event at 90. Didn't know he was still alive!!! But pretty Shepard has got to be the oldest to compete in the big 3. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump names Brian France as NHTSA director.

Wow! Was pretty amazed by Bill running at 62, had no idea that some guys are still up for it and fit & healthy enough at the higher numbers. I guess some NASCAR drivers are made of good stuff. Oldest driver I could remember off the top of my head was Mario Andretti, think he was 55 when he hung up his helmet.

Ford introduced the new "Mustang" for NASCAR competition next year. Amazing the detail they get with stickers, almost looks like a Mustang instead of a Fusion with the Lisa Frank (or whatever the 'guy' version is) sticker kit.
Well stupid Tapatalk has stopped loading pictures but it's on Racer and I'm sure other sites |

It's Mosport, brought to us by Hoser Tires. I'd like to watch it, but I didn't even get to the IMSA race at Mosport Life's a B sometimes.

The interview with Bill after the race was great, as usual:
"How was it out there today, Bill?" Bill: " I feel like I hit everything but the lottery." Gold!! |

And it was a decent affair at Road America. Brendan Gaughn needs to have his license revoked, but that's nothing new.. |

The truck race was a sh1tshow with moments of lucidity, sadly the last corner was not one of them and teammates committing the ultimate sin. |

Some want the Nashville Fairgrounds to host the Nascar All-Star Race.

What's so special? Just because it's a half mile track?

Nothing much but yes, it's a half mile track, that is something different and it WAS a long standing track from the yester years.
And it's Nashville. NASCAR needs short tracks and just the discussion is promising. |

Also the Indianapolis Raceway Park wants to bring back Nascar, not sure if Xfinity and/or Trucks.
