@NegreNorman @TooToughToTame Too cool!!

@MatthewAJohnson @TooToughToTame I turned it into this truck

⁦@TooToughToTame⁩ 1979

@AndySwan Man, lucky! We never got any sports put on the class TV unless you count when we all watched the OJ verdict live in 6th grade.

POV: It's the first Thursday of March Madness and your social studies teacher is a legend.

@BridgetPhetasy @AndySwan Too young for the challenger, but we did watch John Glenn go back up in the Space Shuttle my freshman year science class. Class clown blurted out "I hope it blows up!" just as it took off. If it had actually done that, we may have lynched him on the spot.

@AndySwan I saw this and immediately thought of the challenger exploding.

@NCMarrk @6matthewmartin Seems like 1991 was a big year for drivers switching over to full face helmets. Did Nascar allow changes to how they can be cooled or did Simpson come out with a new helmet design that season?

@6matthewmartin 1991 (Left) Open face at the Coca Cola 600 1991 (Right) Full face at the Mello Yello 500 Won the pole for both races.

@KeselowskiBrian Found this on Facebook!

Still one of the widest scenes I’ve ever seen at a race track. Fast forward to about 5-6 min left in the video and you’ll see my dad has his car pinned up against Jerry Churchill’s after the race. Huge fight broke out

@KeselowskiBrian Came across this and thought you would appreciate it. Kil Kare 1990. I've long heard about this race and the brawl afterwards but had never seen video of it. Where you there with your dad that day? youtube.com/watch?v=aKQwCO…

@NASCARClassics @KeselowskiBrian @keselowski Were either of you there for this? Man, that #29 looked sharp!

Unveiling something new.

@ProfDBernstein Every time I see or hear him, he reminds me more and more of Principal McVicker from Beavis and Butthead. youtu.be/vPGYm5gVBu0?si…

Bernie, who used to not be openly hostile to Israel, seems to have given over his X feed to young far leftist staffers whose job apparently is to feed whatever nonsense the far left wants to hear to them.

@MarvelousMike94 @TheSceneVault @ReganSmith What was the story with Robert Pressley?

@TheSceneVault @ReganSmith -We correctly recognize the passing of BLAISE ALEXANDER in October 2001 as the (unnecessary) final straw that got NASCAR to finally mandate head and neck restraints. -Church ladies gossip can sink battleships…ask Robert Pressley

YES! Expect that very thing to go up soon! First on the list … Scene MUST be preserved for history’s sake. What else? @ReganSmith won Talladega. Stroker Ace Is the greatest NASCAR movie of all time. Call Talladega Nights the GOAT and it’s an automatic ejection off the premises. Driving the pace car is the greatest job in racing. Abolish the yellow-line rule and stage points. Give me a season-long championship format any day. What’s on YOUR written-in-stone NASCAR list?

@Noirchick1 Dinosaurs

Which television series had the best ending of all time?

What is the coolest driver firesuit you've ever seen?

@jcoker1 Definitely a Mirada. Buddy Arrington supplied some of the cars for the film.

Watched Six Pack last night- you know when you watch movies for the 100th time, inconsistencies pop up. Hill Overton referred to Terk Logan's car as a Buick during the Atlanta 500. That can't be right, can it? Looks a LOT more like a Ford Fairmont or Dodge Mirada to me. Thoughts?

@KaiserBob99 @Freedom250GP @IndyCar @MSE @IndyCarOnFOX @FOXSports I know, I was just curious about the race distance.

@MatthewAJohnson @Freedom250GP @IndyCar @MSE @IndyCarOnFOX @FOXSports It's named 250 after America's 250 year anniversary, not the race length.

American history meets @INDYCAR horsepower. Introducing the 1.7-mile, seven-turn Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. street circuit.

@pacificcoast2 @NCMarrk It is Richmond being reconfigured between the spring and fall races in 1988. That's Petty on the bulldozer symbolically pushing the first dirt at the conclusion of the 1988 Pontiac Excitement 400.

@NCMarrk So what track is this? Is it being built or torn down?

@NASCARClassics @phoenixraceway Ernie wrecked his primary car during Saturday practice as he was making his comeback in the number #88. Led 111 laps in Sunday's race in the backup before the motor let go.

A frustrating day for Ernie Irvan. @phoenixraceway | 1995

@RAHMOC75 Man, that was an awesome looking car! Did you use the same chassis at Rockingham you had used to win at Richmond two weeks previously?

So this happened 38 years ago today.

@DaleJr @NASCAR @keselowski @PrimeVideo @Tjmajors

@NASCAR @keselowski @PrimeVideo Ole @Tjmajors roaming around like a 90s wrestling manager outside the ring. Jim Cornette vibes.

You are one of a kind, @keselowski. 🤣 Stream FULL SPEED: The DAYTONA 500 on @PrimeVideo.

@WendellScott_34 @phoenixraceway @NASCAR @DaleJr You can still make out the old Fairgrounds track on Google Maps. It is now used mainly for parking when the Spartanburg County Fair occurs.

@WendellScott_34 @phoenixraceway @NASCAR Here are some newsclips from the Spartanburg Herald-Journal the day of, and after, the race at the Piedmont Interstate Fairgrounds. The print is blurry, but you can just make out Wendell's name in the finish order!

March 4, 1961: Wendell Scott made his first NASCAR start, beginning a journey that changed the sport. 🏁 Racing through deep racial barriers, he became the first Black driver to win at NASCAR’s highest level. His courage opened doors and continues to inspire generations.
