Have made the decision to commit to University of New Haven today, gonna be a big chapter in my life and I’m looking forward to it. Big thanks to everyone who’s supported me throughout my life so far.

@LucasCaylor I think they did some indycar races with Andretti last year

hey ive noticed in the cut of the "Ride The Dente" ad thats been running this year, "NASCAR Audience" has been dubbed with "Racecar Audience." pls tell me Chilis is gonna throw money at other forms of racing too,. Run that ad during every break on the Indy 500, I beg you.

@RaceSheets @JoeyGaseRacing Chad Finchum is listed on NASCAR app

Hey @JoeyGaseRacing, who are you putting in the 35 this weekend?

@electionsjoe If people don’t vote against their candidates, then we’re all just complicit

I'm so tired of AIPAC, AI, and Crypto buying all our elections.

@WookieDrives and this is why I don’t understand why the RTA doesn’t want more practice

Drivers. Need. Seat. Time.

@AlextheAdm1ral Honestly I don’t have issue with Squirrel doing Hickory, but if he messes up, he shouldn’t be approved for Kansas. That’s what I think people fear most.

Too many people: "YouTubers shouldn't go right to the big tracks! They need short track experience first!" *YouTuber announces an ARCA East entry at a historic short track* "Nooo not like that!!1!"

@bcschneider53 @HarrisLue Wow

Holy crap…

@camkasky What happened to him after he renounced his father, I legit haven’t heard of him since

2022 was a much simpler time

@bcschneider53 He is truly the best, and I can take that as someone who’s spoken with him in person

Once again, Jeff has shown why he is among the best writers we have in this sport. Great read here:

@bcschneider53 I don’t understand either, I really hope the complaints don’t work because I DO NOT want us back down to 2 road courses.

Gonna be honest, I did NOT realize how unpopular road course racing was. Was the noise this loud when we had 6 on the schedule? I'm old enough to remember the mid-2010s when fans were BEGGING for more than 2. Now we've split the difference at 4 and it's still too much?

@RobergRacing Not saying for this year but beyond that

@sirrelkinstein Oh me too, realistically cant happen this season though (idk how realistic a mid season track swap without something like COVID would be though)

While we're getting great races at new tracks for NASCAR as companion series races to Indycar, can we move O'Reilly from Sonoma to Laguna Seca?

@SKHaulenbeek there a link or download of the case?

Nitro Motorsports is suing ARCA Menards Series driver Leland Honeyman Jr. over a disagreement over which car he will race. #nccourts

@Carl_Nwakakwa I’m convinced they’re going bankrupt in five years or less

OVER A $100 BILLION IN DEBT?!

@aakashgupta I’m convinced that regardless of if this deal goes through, it goes bankrupt within five years

Paramount just bought a $111 billion media empire with a $12 billion market cap. Read that again. Paramount’s market cap is roughly $12 billion. Warner Bros. Discovery’s enterprise value in this deal is $111 billion. David Ellison is buying a company nearly 10x his own company’s size. How? Larry Ellison’s net worth: $201 billion. He’s personally guaranteeing the equity commitment. Bank of America, Citi, and Apollo are providing $57.5 billion in debt financing. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Abu Dhabi’s L’imad Holdings, and the Qatar Investment Authority are providing equity. The combined entity will carry over $90 billion in debt. This tells you everything about what actually happened. Netflix offered $83 billion for the studios and streaming (the good parts). Paramount offered $111 billion for everything (including the dying cable networks nobody else wanted). Netflix looked at the math to match Paramount and said “at this price, the deal is no longer financially attractive.” That’s Netflix-speak for “we’re not overpaying for linear TV in 2026.” Netflix stock jumped 10% on the news it lost. Paramount rose 5%. The market is telling you which company made the better decision. What makes this really interesting: Paramount promised $6 billion in cost synergies. That’s code for mass layoffs across two studios, two streaming platforms, and overlapping cable networks. CNN and CBS News under one roof. HBO Max and Paramount+ merged. They’ll need those savings because the debt service on $90 billion will be brutal. David Ellison attended Trump’s State of the Union as Lindsey Graham’s guest on Tuesday. Ted Sarandos was at the White House Thursday afternoon. Both were lobbying. Ellison won. And his father’s close ties to Trump will matter when DOJ reviews a deal that puts CBS, CNN, HBO, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, and TNT under one owner. The real story: a 42-year-old with a rocky box office track record just assembled the largest media conglomerate in history, financed by his father’s fortune, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth, and $57.5 billion in bank debt. Netflix walked away richer. The question is whether Paramount can service the debt load while linear TV revenue keeps declining or whether this becomes the most expensive content library acquisition ever assembled on borrowed time.

@AlextheAdm1ral I think the document also had no Indy road course too. Plus there were a lot of tracks that NASCAR never even went too as well.

@sirrelkinstein You're right, but that did almost happen. We went to the Road Course and tore a lot of shit up multiple years in a row before they came to their senses. That was a valid fear

The All-Star Race has no novelty anymore. The novelty of the ASR having segments evaporated in 2017, so it turned to new tire/aero/engine packages. Now it seems like the teams aren't interested in doing that. So we're left with... convoluted bullshit for no appreciable purpose

@AlextheAdm1ral That same document also had NASCAR leaving Indianapolis I’m pretty sure too. Things can change quickly overnight.

@sirrelkinstein We documents released via the lawsuit that NASCAR's c.2019 internal plans for the late '20s had Dover going from 2 races to 0. Obviously a lot has changed since then, including SMI purchasing the track, but they too have a track record of letting less desirable properties die off

@AlextheAdm1ral Did receive confirmation on the latter thing yesterday. Dover was never under consideration to be dropped from the schedule.

@sirrelkinstein I'd be fine with whatever happens to the ASR going forward as long as it 1) Isn't at Dover 2) Doesn't result in Dover leaving the schedule

@AlextheAdm1ral If you think about it, if NASCAR/SMI really wanted this to be the ASR it’d still have the open and only a 200 lap main at max. It’s only 50 laps less than a normal 400 lap race as well.

@nascar_opinion ATP, I'm convinced NASCAR wants this to be a 37th points race and probably will try for that next year

Weird decision in 2020. Moronic decision in 2021. Tried to save it 2023. Killed it in 2026. #AllStarRace
