Dixie Boy

@Dr_TheHistories This is in Richmond, VA.

Colorized photograph of Robert E. Lee at the back porch of his home, 1865... Lee had served as the commanding general of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, surrendering to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House surrender, effectively ending major Confederate resistance. The home shown is part of the Arlington estate in Virginia, which had been seized by Union forces during the war and later became the site of Arlington National Cemetery. Following the war, Lee did not return to live there. Instead, he became president of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, focusing on education and reconciliation during Reconstruction. This image is a modern colorization of an original black-and-white photograph, a technique used to enhance visual detail but not part of the original historical record. Lee applied for U.S. citizenship after the war in 1865, but the paperwork was misplaced; his citizenship was not officially restored until 1975. © Reddit #drthehistories

@EchoesofWarYT My great great grandfather was in the 14th VA and was in Pickett’s charge. Captured at the rock fence and was a POW until the end of the war.

Dads going to be spending a few nights on the couch

Back in the Dukes of Hazzard days, Daisy Duke didn’t just steal scene, she accidentally rewrote summer fashion. Those cut off denim shorts became so iconic they literally got named after her. 1980’s 🔥

My favorite Kentucky Derby video of all time 🤣🤣

Recommend one album everyone should listen to at least once...any genre.

@cryptojourneyrs The Carnival Cruise line of air travel.

End of an era. Here’s some of your greatest hits. RIP Spirit Airlines 🪦

Gonna be tough to explain this one to the wife

@jeff_gluck @CBellRacing might be my new favorite driver! 👍

🚨 RANT ALERT 🚨

@hwinkler4real There is a fine line between comedy and poor taste. Would Johnny Carson have said something like that? There’s a reason why late night talk shows are complete garbage now.

Jimmy is a AMERICAN AND Proud. , He speaks his mind ,, Dont you ?? Isn't one of the the GREATEST reason we live here ??

@DirtyMoMedia Make NASCAR great again! Bring back the big sponsors, short tracks, actual stock bodies and no restrictor plates/tapered spacers.

perfect stock cars painted with perfect paint schemes

@SpotterBrett Daytona/Talladega haven’t been the same since restrictor plates/tapered spacers. Pack racing is not racing. It’s a wreck waiting to happen and the winner is the lucky one who escaped it.

I stand with Christopher Bell and his comments on Talladega. We need loud stances with him to see change. I once was in the dog house for stating how I felt about the current racing there (J Love was a guest on the show if you wanna go back and listen). 🙏

@bobpockrass @NASCARONFOX Before restrictor plates/tapered spacers, you never had the ‘big one’ at Daytona & Talladega. The drivers need to be able to separate themselves and not ride around in a traffic jam. There have been more accidents since the engines were restricted.

Christopher Bell with a passionate plea for immediate change in the drafting-track superspeedway package. Bell: "It's atrocious. ... It's a complete joke. ... It comes down to just a suicide mission of who is going to push the hardest and not get wrecked." @NASCARONFOX

@mikejoy500 @TALLADEGA @FOXSports @CarsonHocevar 2/2 It was fun to see the engine builders try to outwit each other instead of now you get who can survive to see the checkered flag.

Some good news: 4.9 million viewers watched the finish at @Talladega on @FOXSports, and most stayed around to enjoy @CarsonHocevar's unique victory celebration!

@mikejoy500 @TALLADEGA @FOXSports @CarsonHocevar The only thing good about that race was Hocevar’s celebration. Those of us old enough to remember superspeedway races before plates/tapered spacers know that riding around in a pack is a disaster waiting to happen. There was no ‘big one’. 1/2

@Frontstretch I hate to break the news to ESPN. But look at the grandstands for the races. Half full, a third full. If they’re not coming to the race, who is paying extra for practice?? What a joke.

Coverage of the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series practice and qualifying will move exclusively to ESPN Unlimited starting this summer. In a tightening economy, fans may have to choose between watching the sport or being able to pay the bills. frontstretch.com/2026/04/29/wan…

@MambaSmith34 Have you asked Harvick his thoughts on the current state of superspeedway racing?

@mcn_rte Yea that would be super cool. I love talking to the OGs.

So you want superspeedway racing to look like intermediate racing?

@Libertyordaeth @MambaSmith34 There have been more multi-car accidents and cars in the fence since the restrictor plates/tapered spacers were implemented. Drivers are at risk more so today because they are bumper to bumper lap after lap.

This is the perfect comment Start by looking at the 87 Talladega race Watch Allison fly into, and tear down the fence Then, if you want to know what would have happened if a second car had gone through that hole look up the 1956 LeMans crash Perhaps then you will know why we don’t race like that anymore

Do I think that? I’ve never said I think that… I think that I’ve watched more mid races than good races in my life from Super speedways to 1/4 miles and I still enjoy watching it. I also think a “good race” is wildly subjective to one human’s personal experience. Just my opinion.
