It’s time to get this deal done for Nashville.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.@DaleJr

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

Sounds like it'll be a full weekend of activities for the CARS Tour at Nashville Fairgrounds next month. Among other big plans being made for that race. I covered the SRX races at the Fairgrounds and remember what that felt like in scale. This could be even bigger than that.

Started compiling clips to put together a video on Greg Biffle's legacy at Darlington, but then something I wasn't expecting floated in. 🎈 Biffle was momentarily distracted on his pole run for the 2012 Southern 500 by a balloon that was lying in the middle of the racetrack on the exit of Turn 4. He still ran a 27.281 to win his second of two career Darlington poles. #BeLikeBiff

Feels like 90% of the obnoxious jingoistic people running cover for this or saying it's not such a big deal have just stopped posting as the gravity of the situation sets in

@jeff_dubuque Appreciate you saying that and I understand your point of view too. I think it'll "blow over" eventually and it shouldn't cost him his job or career or anything like that but a lesson does need to be learned here even if it means him sitting out a race or two.

@STaranto92 I can understand the point of view. I just think the punishment of a suspension over not even saying a slur is a bit much for me. I genuinely think this would've blown over by now if he wasn't suspended. Just my opinion. Love your coverage man

Not to be controversial or anything, but, I think it's important to remember that many of us have said or done things that we should not have and/or that were inappropriate, especially when we were young and immature. That doesn't mean not holding people responsible for their actions or making excuses for them, but it's much more helpful to sit them down, educate them on why what they did was wrong, and give them the space to make amends than attack and demonize them. I think we've seen enough over the years to recognize that the latter isn't helpful and makes our society worse. I don't know. I just think it's important to remember when we point out the speck in someone's eye that we also have a plank in ours. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and whatnot. JMO!

@jeff_dubuque I disagree, I think it warranted more than just a slap on the wrist. It came off as mean-spirited and obnoxious and showed a lack of maturity and professionalism. My only assertion is that it doesn't make him a bad person and I don't think vilifying the young man is necessary.

@STaranto92 I Don't think he should be suspended. A conversation behind closed doors telling him to knock it off and maybe if we really want to stir headlines make a small fine. This is not suspension worthy, he didn't say a slur like Larson, hocevar said something worse and just got fined
