We love Dale Jarrett in this house

2025 will be the last year I do until the finale this year. The overall rankings are to the right.

Probably the wildest year is 2024 so far, in part due to the SVG effect bringing in Hand and Allmendinger in competitive equipment on RCs. 23 unique stage winners, a new record by far.

Blaney showed speed early in the spec car era in 2022

Harvick's 2020 season only had two issues: no championship and only fourth in stage wins

2018 time now. Harvick makes a big leap.

Let's go through the years and see how many drivers won how many stages in each year. First up is 2017.

121

Apparently Max Reeves posted a video of himself going 120 mph on a public road, at the age of 16.

Maybe Chip got confused and thought the high pitch voice was the "woman driver" who supposedly contacted him

Mini potentally finishing top 5 after pushing Grant Enfinger to a win would make this whole year worth it

Living in the DMV and I can see up to three different ads for states I don't live in (Virginia, West Virginia, Pennslyvania) AND local DC races I can't vote in as a Maryland resident.

He's talking about Russell's restart where he didn't go until pretty late and caused an accordian behind them. But also the rules are the rules.

Colapinto's lock up was very costly, both for McLaren's attempt to pass Ferrari for second and it cost Alpine a lot of ground in their race for fifth with Racing Bulls

It's the tire offsets, not the stops themselves. And it's not as effective in F1 as it would be if you gave this ruleset to a spec series like NASCAR or IndyCar

100

Pirelli making sure to stop Goodyear from taking the award for worst tire in racing. GY looked fit to take the title after bringing Flintstones to Bristol last week, here we have our second straight trash F1 race with Pireli

ARCA championship is going to come down to if Annunziata can pass a pizza deliveryman

121

I have a feeling Ryan Vargas doesn't ARCA brake into the 20 like that

Eric Brennan just did something I did not think was possible: directly compare ARCA to F1

210

Procrastinating from FP3 and qualifying to watch the ARCA race live

The Mexico City tweet last year about his fine that you can tell he wrote and wasn't done by some PR tells me there probably is a person somewhere in there. He didn't have to write anything but he did it anyway.

You barely missed Micah in New York last week because we were rushing the Jets all game. Tonight they line gave as much pressure as a crock pot

020

We lose to the Yucks next week and I'm going to be about ready to rip this guy's fucking head off.

Awful coaching, awful defensive hustle, awful blocking, and capped off with an awful throw from Love. Fucking Christ, this is going to be a long year until MLF is fired.

Whenever Andy Reid retires, he really does have a future in commercials. Man has a sense of comedic timing very few people have

Oh God what did this dipshit do now

I think Tony could finish two laps down at Richmond instead of the three laps Sadler did in the same truck, ftr

When I came back this year, I wasn’t told to get a mic and camera. But once I looked at the internal numbers under the hood, I made sure to do that real quick

Columns used to be how we made money. Now they make up 10% of the business. It’s why I’m doing less and less writing now, because there’s even less money in it. People aren’t reading things anymore. Either blame the audience or blame Google for this.

If you want to know why just so many NASCAR media member jobs now are more or less “record people talking with your phone”, go check out Massie’s interview with Gluck today when he goes into our numbers in public for the first time.

Tony: “I’m not coming back” RAM: “Here’s an extra $100,000” Tony: “When do we shoot the commercial?”

210

I like the implication that Tony took one look at “Atlanta” and said “… No, I’m not running that shit

Unclear if this is the proper use of the term "verified" when referring to a Bluesky account.

I was amazed Penske let Blaney go on AD this week

Do they kayfabe and pretend that the voting happens live on your broadcast? That sounds really dumb

000

At least the 2017-2025 format gave some incentive to finishing the regular season with a high points position, and running well during the races with stages. Fucking 2014-2016, the only true outcomes to the first 26 races for a driver was win and not win.

The 2014 to 2016 NASCAR Playoff format is the worst format in the history of auto racing. The fact they did this for three whole years was so absolutely stupid.

Pretty good RACING genes, don’t you just hate when you accidentally say something a Nazi would
