Back-to-back, back-to-backs. LFG

@MattWeaverRA Good for you Matt. Lots of other events this weekend that could use your coverage anyway. Really curious to see how the IHRA events pan out.

South Alabama Speedway has banned Short Track Scene from covering the Rattler 250 because I refuse to apologize for calling out their use of AI in a fan-designed logo contest. This is ridiculous but I want fans to know why and that I support creatives. shorttrackscene.com/commentary/why…

Ryan Blaney is a damn animal.

Should have just run another INDYCAR race today.

This car is just so damn good.

We lost Iowa so Phoenix could soar.

Medal games being decided 3v3 is unfortunate.

That’s what a low-percentage move looks like. On lap 5, it’s certainly a choice.

Whoever finishes 2nd to Austin Hill in the O’Reilly race should do burnouts too.

@_kylewilliams Can’t even begin to imagine how much AI artwork comes across your desk as a request to redraw for production.

This entire industry has been overrun with AI and I don’t even know what to do anymore. Is this really the world we want? I’ve never felt so defeated as an artist.

@hanklee89 Right? Bunch of storylines that are now essentially dead except if you’re a listener of the over abundance of podcasts. Denny Hamlin might have been another one higher up on the list.

@jce504 Would’ve liked to have heard from Hocevar or Jones. Anybody who got swept up in that one. Stenhouse, too. They were already at the care center

Remember when they rushed off the air from the Super Bowl after interviewing 4 people? Until it’s treated like the Super Bowl, the comparison will just continually fall flat.

Let’s figure out how we can waste more time for stage break cautions.

@hanklee89 I think Parker said it on the broadcast, but he takes every single run without hesitation. Aggressive but not overly so. It’s honestly fun to watch how he’ll embarrass the field weekly at these tracks.

@jce504 It’s crazy how much better he is at this type of racing than everyone else in this series. Of course it helps that the same 3-4 guys have crashed 20-some cars today.

They might as well pre-engrave every speedway trophy with Austin’s name.

A trophy, a bunch of points and more importantly 4 clean cars. Solid night.

Big floor decals 😍

The one legendary scheme that was missing from the set of throwbacks we ran last year is no longer missing. As always, Ford’s willingness to honor the Wood’s legacy in this sport is unmatched.

Why do they insist on hand holding every single aspect of strategy out wet races?

The white flag is out, they have given up.
