Great way to start race day!

Well this is a way to start the day with a roundhouse kick to the gut. Hearing that Chuck Norris passed away. 😢😢😢

@nascarman_rr Watched this from the local ER after getting smoked in the garage area during practice.

March 15, 2019: NASCAR's Group Qualifying was exploited at California Speedway when all cars sat on pit road, not wanting to be the car leading the draft, and failed to post qualifying times Austin Dillon won the pole with a speed of 0 mph in the final round

Shirt of the day:

And swapping planes.

Well we just pulled a start and park for this flight.

@LASTCARonBROCK Tina was very uh fortunate this wreck wasn’t any worse than it was.

I have a couple brutal photos from that wreck I saved back when ThatsRacin.com regularly uploaded race action photos as computer wallpapers.

@DaleJr @markmartin @anthonyalfredo Damn. Dale chose violence today.

@markmartin @anthonyalfredo He wheeled it right into Lavar Saturday night.

I wish @anthonyalfredo the best. He can wheel. Great interview.

@furluvcats @Motorsport @SethEggert91 I have to laugh about the poaching sponsors aspect. 🤣🤣🤣

@Motorsport @SethEggert91 That’s so shady .

🕵️📸 Joe Gibbs Racing had a private investigator following the team's former competition director, Chris Gabehart, before filing a lawsuit against him. #NASCAR motorsport.com/nascar-cup/new…

@jeff_gluck When did Alfredo take over this role from Allgaier?

Alex Bowman has vertigo and will not race at Phoenix, per Hendrick Motorsports. Reserve driver Anthony Alfredo, who does all the sim testing each week, will be in the No. 48 car.

@allenm072 @LarryMac28 @NASCAR Honestly… a lot of issues with our sport these days can be traced to “lazy” broadcasts of the races. No tech pieces and a focus on the same ten drivers.

Inside Winston Cup was the show back in day. I watched it religiously. @LarryMac28 had a tech piece during the show and I learned a lot about working on race cars from it. #fy #oldschool @NASCAR

@keselowski @LASTCARonBROCK This was only a day or two after the Kenny Irwin wreck. I had only been working in the sport for a few weeks at the time. A lot of the fun of the sport got sucked out in a rather short time.

Wasn’t at the race but my brother Brian and I got the job of cutting this truck up when it got back to Michigan. I’ve never seen so much damage to the center section and seat area with the driver being ok. Dennis was so tough, raced the next week all bruised up. He is/was the guy I looked up to the most at this time as a racer.

@algore @ClimateReality Fraud. Twenty years ago you said that the sky would be falling in ten years. So you’re hosting an event to celebrate that you were obscenely wrong? Make it make sense.

Twenty years ago, after the release of “An Inconvenient Truth,” I invited 50 people to gather on my family farm outside Nashville, Tennessee. We came together, empowered by science and concerned about the dangers posed by the climate crisis. We believed then, as I do now, that informed and determined citizens can help drive the transformative solutions our planet urgently needs. That gathering was the catalyst for The Climate Reality Project. Over the past two decades, I have watched with deep gratitude as thousands of Climate Reality Leaders stepped forward to become champions for science-based solutions, inspiring others and driving climate action around the world. Now, 20 years later, we’re returning to Nashville, Tennessee. On May 1–2, I invite you to join me and Climate Reality as we celebrate this milestone and recommit ourselves to the necessary work ahead. And as part of this anniversary year, we’ll also gather and train leaders in Chile and Singapore to continue building momentum worldwide. The climate crisis demands courage and commitment. Join us in Nashville and help shape the next chapter of climate leadership. Register here: bit.ly/nashville2026

@markmartin Biffle had a great car that race, but blew up before the first pit stop. A tear off flew off another car and blocked the grill opening. The irony is that it had come from his teammate David Green.

Valvoline man in a Pennzoil car 🤯

@DaleJr @RFKracing @redbaronpizza @RyanPreece_ @KrogerRacing It would be really nice if they could move the door numbers back where they belong. At the very least allow it in throwback schemes.

@RFKracing @redbaronpizza @RyanPreece_ @KrogerRacing Probably a good time to remind everyone that throwback schemes haven't been banned or disallowed.

Now this is DEDICATION to the pizza game 🍕

Just saw the news that Butch Fedewa passed away. Sorry to hear this. Butch was a great guy to know in the garage area. Thoughts and prayers to @tenfeetofwall.

@gecffmn Holy cow, a cameo by Donnie Johnson (Bobby’s brother-in-law) at the end. Later in life he ran the operations over at the Stavola Bros shop and property. He is a great guy.

I’d never seen this footage of Davey Allison before. It really makes you think—how many of today’s NASCAR drivers ever turned their own wrenches and worked on their own cars before making it to the big stage? #NASCAR

@deanthompsonr @jeff_gluck @chasebriscoe The troughs at Wrigley Field were almost like a rite of passage growing up

@jeff_gluck @chasebriscoe The bathrooms comment is so true. Highest level of motorsport in the US and we have troughs.

This week's 12 Questions is one of my most enjoyable interviews each year: @chasebriscoe. On a great idea for the All-Star Race, upgrading the Atlanta bathrooms and being an "extreme helicopter dad." nytimes.com/athletic/70553…

@dechick14 Yes. Cup champ gets one in gold, Busch in silver, and truck in bronze.

Whoa, this is sick! Have they always done this for the O'Reilly champion?

@Zicklefoose This may have actually aged rather poorly…

I hate B.J. McLeod didn’t make the Daytona 500. He’s one of the last guys with the spirit from the old days
