I hope Larson tries again next year. His Indy deal is for two years so we'll see. Heartbreaker for sure.
Yeah it just felt like the racing last night was just about to get real good then nothing. I was hoping for some 1am-2am racing but nope.
Tomorrow's the big day at SHR. I guess everybody in the org will find out their fate and we might find out who the players are in buying the charters. Feel so bad for all the employees and the drivers. You can tell morale is rock bottom.
All I want is for them to say they're not picking up the option for Briscoe next year and make him a free agent able to talk to other teams now much like Reddick a couple years ago going from RCR to 23II. He can't talk to anybody about next year right now but SHR can talk to buyers and bidders. Nothing about that is fair for drivers at all.
Coming soon to a dispo near you!

I love how they misspelled his name in the body of the description. Fucking hemp smokers![]()
Talent galore will be available.so i see an announcement that shr is closing... thats a lot of families!! so i assume all six teams cup and xfin are free agents?
i really didn't expect them to shut down completely and leave nascar.
Talent galore will be available.
Briscoe, Gragson, Rodney Childers...Briscoe has one of the best over all pit crews in Cup right now!
Custer and the Xfinity team are coming off a championship season!
I guess the good thing for all involved is they don't really have to pack up and change cities and schools like other sports and most can stay in the NC area. Many should land jobs at other teams especially with so many teams expanding.
So here's what I know...23II, Trackhouse, and FRM are going to buy a charter each. RFK in the mix for the last one with JRM as a wildcard to enter a 1 car Cup team next year. NASCAR could put a cap on 3 team cars but HMS and JGR will be able to keep their four being grandfathered in but everybody else, no more than three.
Predictions likely to happen:
The numbers 4,10,14,& 41 will not be on any cup cars next season
Briscoe to the 21
Gragson to the 3
The third 23XII car will numbered 67 and Corey Heim gets that ride
FRM revives #38 with Berry in there
Trackhouse will make Zane Smith the driver of it's third car
Preece drops down to late model racing but maybe gets a truck ride
wow man you got the inside scoop!! i really hope they sell off the #10... that number deserves to always be on the track!! ricky rudd drove a 10!! i saw he was up for hall of fame!!!
kind of excited to see how it unfolds... way to much talent there to not shake things up everywhere else!!
Rudd drove the "Tide" detergent "Stock" car, Malibu and other body styles. Nowdays, sheetmetal fakes. I enjoy IMSA, or did, now I am learning about cannabis growing at a Farm called Budbuilders.org retiring,and may do other big things before I die from cancer. Growers Love, wake an Bake race fans, oh and I can drive road racing!
I saw somewhere the #10 might live on but can't remember which team.
But yeah things are about to get super crazy dude.
FRM already announced they have one of the charters and will be a 3 car team next year. I think it will be Gilliand, Berry, & Custer. Possibly the entire #4 team will go to FRM but we're about to see some nutty action happen....
I'm reading HMS has their eyes on Rodney Childers but not sure who he'd crew chief for.
RCR could be the 4th buyer and keep Dillon in the 3 but Gragson gets the third car. That may have been where I saw the #10 coming back.
But others also want Gragson so there could be some bidding wars going on for him. Mainly RCR and JGR.
Briscoe has Mahindra, High Point, and Ford Performance following him where ever he goes so sponsorship isn't an issue for him much like Gragson coming in with big bucks where ever he goes but seems to also be getting interest from RFK, Penske, and even JGR. Been reading Joe Gibbs would love to have him because he's a church guy too and doesn't drink or party like other drivers. Even nuttier is the rumor Joe wants Briscoe in the 19 but IDK...I gotta think Ford will want to keep him under their umbrella but it's looking like Briscoe will have choices









Are you speaking of 18-614-7, 13-11 slow like that?SS











Man... 13th 12 hour night shift in a row for me. I feel your pain, brother.felt like infinity yesterday.. after putting in three 12 hour days in a row i had to mow the lawn yesterday!!! i'm shwoopie whoopered today!!!!
Man... 13th 12 hour night shift in a row for me. I feel your pain, brother.
Sick view there behind that deer pic. Love it!
Yeah I did a 25 day stretch a while back. This run I'll be close to 3 straight weeks again. We try to get someone off every 3rd weekend.it wasn't too terrible when i was handed a $2500 check though!!
ya know the painful part in that.. 13th isn't even close to your record is it?
.
i live at the top of the mountain here and that's my only view.. the deer is standing on my neighbors property. we meet up there to smoke doobs all the time!!

And you're right.. the checks are nice. I'm literally putting into savings what I used to get paid.
Another year like this and I'll be building myself a house.
84 hour weeks is 40 hours base pay + 32 hours OT + 12 hours double time. Memorial Day paid triple time.I like when my 12's have 4 hours ofsmokingI mean driving.
It is all about the $$$$.
This became harder after 2000. Much harder after 2008.Work hard play hard and always get paid!!!
2 best hacks in life are do what you love, get paid for it, and you'll never work a day in your life. And work over the capitalist system of wages and time off to get paid to do nothing. I say that as I'm a week away from a 6 week paid Summer vacation. Livin' like I'm still a teenager with Summer off. Well kinda...Told my wife I'd rebuild the deck and paint the living room while I'm off.![]()
Haha. I have a story almost like that. Me and my apprentice were pulling wire one day and we didn't have a tugger. I think it was a run of #4. I couldn't get it any further than halfway. Grabbed a big burly 19 year old blocklayer for help. He was dead afterwards and asked if we work that hard all the time. I said "every day"![]()
I worked 12's, but you guys, hell, how old are you guys,ha. I am ready to retire mentally more than anything else. Cheers! to workin Americans

If I crap at work on a Sunday, they pay me like 25 bucks to do it.

Dude you see the pool sheet this week??!!
The leader has The Dinger and he's not even racing!!!! That's like a 50 point hit right?
Meanwhile I have Racing Insights best bet for a winner in Blaney!!!
This became harder after 2000. Much harder after 2008.
I imagine most are happy to have anything half decent these days.
Thanks an awesome story... like make sure you tell all your burly block guys too!!!! haha
i'll be 52 i a couple months... hope i got another good twenty years in me!!!
there were times i would get paid the entire day just to sit on an airplane and watch movies!!!even smoked weed in the bathrooms a few times!!!
i'm part of two "mile high" clubs!!!
that's epic right there!!!!! eat heavy on a saturday, those big shits gotta be worth at least $35!!!!
six weeks?!?!?!?! i somehow feels less bad now that you have triple digit heat for some reason!!!six weeks?!?!? and all you gotta do is paint a room and build a deck!!
rule #3...
There are NO ALTERNATE DRIVERS this year!! If your driver does not qualify
/ race... you will receive 50 points automatically.
i have to admit it's been a few weeks since i looked at the pool sheet with all star weekend and me being dead last, not till you just said something did i even open the attachment... i'm like a curse this year man, i picked the driver he finishes 30th that week... good thing i got the 11 this week!!!!!
2020 was the biggest blow for me and my family.. last year got better and this year is already better than last year so i'm hopping this train keeps on cruzing!!!

Same here. 2020 was just one big kick in the nuts after another. I always thought being in college athletics was pretty much recession proof. It sure was in 2008. But the pandemic causing empty stadiums and layoffs around the country was a real eye opener.
Before that I always told my niece and nephews to get into education and or athletics at the college level and there will always be a good job for you. Now I tell them you might wanna be a barber because no matter what people need their hair cut even during a pandemic.
But really I don't think that sorta shut down will ever happen again. Well not in Texas at least.
Yeah 6 weeks off and nowhere to go this year. We will take a drive down to the coast and spend a couple nights near water but other than that just hanging out around the area and taking day trips to little hole in the wall good eats around central Texas.
Man I'm tellin' ya.....If I can bring home the W in the pool we getting this fucker!!!!

I've been saving all my 4oz empties for the day I can refill all of 'em with that 32oz jug hahaha!!!
that's funny i keep all my old 4oz ones too,, well actually i use them for other stuff. i have green aminos in one and some brix sugars in another, i even still use the one you sent me something in years ago. they seal great and i've never had a powder clump up in them, and i stash in my damp basement.
i bough the bigger jar this last time.. it's not like i'm going to stop using it so i might as well save a few bucks. i'll tell ya though my biggest win with it was just using a damn measuring spoon so i wasn't wasting it everytime. i would just eyeball it with the scoop they provide.. i was way off. i've been measuring it out since this last time and i'm using way less. looks like it will last for years the way i'm using now.
vacay sounds chilaxing bro.. hope you both have a fun time and get to see some cool sights!!!!!
Wait....You measure stuff?![]()
well not stuff, just GW and only GW... oh and the green aminos but just when they're seedlings. other than that yeah just eyeball.. like ya say a handful here and a pour there.. i bet it's pretty close to accurate.
but wow 12 gallons of GW?? damn, i do maybe one gallon at most.. even to make a gallon i have to cut the scooper in half.. sometimes when there first put into soil i mix up just a quart worth.. BTW that would be an 1/8th of a teaspoon!!!! hehehe
.
.
so where is this race anyway? new venue, yeah? i'm gonna turn on the tv now.. i ain't rootin or the 11 though.. f'that!!

I can't root for Toyota if they were the only car.i ain't rootin or the 11 though.. f'that!!
Yeah I get 12 gallons from the waterboy tank into the yeti tank then just dump stuff in it, stir it up, grab the water wand, and do the deed!
It's a combination of brilliance & laziness IMO and I'm very proud of it
Yeah WWT is a weird race. It's in St Louis but it's on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River so technically in Illinois but still St. Louis, Missouri if that makes any sense and it's called the Enjoy Illinois 300 in St. Louis.
I just checked in for fan rewards and scanner access. Gonna flip between the race and our baseball elimination playoff game.
I just hit over 3000 in fan reward points. 1000 more getting about 170 every week and the NASCAR/Pitboss BBQ knife set will be mine!!!

![]()
Honda in cup is just awkward. Civic is the only car that could do it and that's a chick car.
I remember when Toyota got into it and thinking I thought NASCAR was American manufacturers only but money know no borders.
IDK what to think if Kia gets in it. Like those shitboxes are so ez to steal I can see some Kias getting stolen off pit road hahaha!
I don't really mind the Yotas, it's the drivers of them who are dbags. Except for Truex. My man should be in a Chevy or Ford
I'm not sure what to think of this track. Like it's kinda like a short track but fast? Pit strategy is playing a big factor.
Love seeing it sold out though. Winning burnouts are always cool when it's a packed house and if the winner is somebody everybody hates, those boos rain down loud!!![]()
hey look at that shit, i got the best finish in the pool this week.. 2 points!!!
