Another #tbt from way back in the middle 90s.

@RCRracing @jayski Promote from within so none of your programs get any better. Your cup program just plain sucks. Do better or sell out.

PROMOTED FROM WITHIN: Robert "Bug" Strmiska takes the helm as Crew Chief for the No. 33 Tommy’s Express Chevrolet, driven by Cleetus McFarland in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series! Bug is a third-generation racer with a championship pedigree, having played key roles in three NASCAR national series championships and has been part of the RCR family for more than 15 years.

@IanJaeger29 Because they are either dead or illegal.

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer warns that if the SAVE AMERICA ACT passes it would remove 20 Million people from the Voter Rolls.

@CouchRacerShop Just you dude. I hope he never wins a cup race. I would rather see Cody Ware in victory lane.

Was anyone else pulling for Ty Gibbs or just me? What a drive by Blaney. That may be the best Phoenix cup race ever

@AskBAW_Service I just flew from LHR TO BNA on fly ba223 you might want to get a repair crew to fix the usb port and headphone jack in seat 35C for the next poor soul that sits there so they don’t have to make the trip with no charging or sound.

@CouchRacerShop Rudy Fugal

You have the number 1 draft pick to get the best Cup crew chief. Who are you taking?

@CouchRacerShop It is now pointless

How would you describe the evolution of the NASCAR Awards Banquet? Daytona New York City Las Vegas Nashville Charlotte Scottsdale

@jeff_gluck @mforde If there is such a big push for win and you’re in then make the playoff field race winners only.

I’m on the playoff committee and didn’t know this was so definitive, so I listened to the episode and…it’s not. There is a meeting next week but this post makes it sound like it’s already decided — and that’s not what @mforde said on the show.

@BrakeHardBlog It’s more the on track product for me. I’ve been going to @ItsBristolBaby since 1996. I’ve quit going because the racing isn’t like it use to be. Ticket prices are pretty close to the same price and you can find reasonable priced places to stay, you just have to look hard enough.

Ticket prices and hotel prices are killing Bristol

@FreddieKraft I dont like it at all. Should be top 20ish to qualify. But if he can improve in points and get in then good for him. But the way it is its probably an easy one to get knocked out in round 1 of playoffs. Then should go back to original spot in points.

Let’s gauge the room before DBC tomorrow. Do we love it or hate that SVG wins, and instantly vaults himself from 30th in the standings to racing for a Championship?

@clownworld Prius or any Subaru

@DirtyMoMedia @CLTMotorSpdwy Yes, the roval is played out now.

All in favor of the @CLTMotorSpdwy Oval making a return in the Fall (or maybe even as the championship race), put a "Yes" in the comments. 🙂‍↕️ We're trying to see something... 👀

@DanielC1482 @FreddieKraft Go back to the original format with a halfway break non competitive pit stop. @NASCAR runs way too many caution laps in all series. Caution laps dont count with 10 laps to go.

@FreddieKraft @FreddieKraft Do we need to just do away with stages in the truck series? 30 lap stage two. By time we go green, only 26 to go. Of course we get more cautions. We don’t get many green flag laps. Should just do like late models. IF we go x amount of laps green have a comp caution

Let’s go Luke! Much safer watching over here without flying furniture.

@dabfordale Can’t wait for @leighdiffey to get back in the booth. So much more exciting.

I am officially on the pushing Mike Joy into retirement train. It’s over. Give me Allen Bestwick, Rick Schwieger, or some new blood but this is not it anymore.

@LibertyCappy Democrats and Covid

@DefiyantlyFree Corporations like Black Rock and others being able to buy single family houses and turning them into rentals.

@CouchRacerShop How does Randall Burnette keep his job?

Is it too early to see crew chief changes? 3-4 have to be on the hot seat.

@dustinlong First is far from the truth and compete must mean something totally different now.

#NASCAR … Katherine Legge will become the first woman to compete in a Cup race today at Phoenix. This all came together quickly. So why not give herself more prep time and make her debut at Martinsville or another short track coming up on the schedule? Her answer …

@BrakeHardBlog @leighdiffey should be calling all 36 nascar races. He puts so much life into it. What a pleasure to watch when he is on the air.

Just watched the end of the broadcast finally; Clint Bowyer needs to shut up and let Mike Joy do his job calling the finish. The NBC booth does a phenomenal job of letting Leigh Diffey call the finish uninterrupted.

@jeff_gluck I think the biggest problem is that it doesnt stream from the app. Or I just couldnt find that. I did get it with my antenna.

I've seen tweets from people who say they have trouble getting The CW or their local channel wasn't showing the race, but overall it sure seems like The CW is reaching more people.

@CouchRacerShop I dont mind Jamie Little and Harvick but I cant stand listening to Logano.

Are you volume up or on mute for this truck race?
