I hate and despise “I did what I had to do” - every short track in the country penalizes that move but it’s embraced at the top level of the sport - garbage

Horrible Kentucky Derby - these NextGen horses suck, so much aero mane blocking, only 20 minutes of practice, saving hay instead of running full song - I’m done

In less than a week NASCAR sent a significant message denouncing racial injustice, allowed for peaceful protest during the national anthem, embraced an inclusiveness initiative with the LGBTQ community and banned the Confederate Flag - the sport deserves well-earned admiration

Let me just get this out of the way - FOX stop the rotation in the booth in search of “star power” and stay with consistency and knowledge with @LarryMac28 - thanks

NASCAR leaving IRP is in the team photo of bad decisions next to moving the Southern 500 to Fontana - the crowd and energy tonight will hopefully start a new long term tradition of being back at this awesome track

Since it’s the Craftsman Truck Series again can we also bring back Skinner, Hornaday, Sprague, Bodine, Benson and everyone else that made the series so great?

Interesting because Jesus was the first thing I said when I watched what he did
💭 "Jesus was hated first and among all the people. That's a part of it [...] silencing out the crowd."

Some drivers will complain, some fans will too (shocking lol) but there isn’t any argument in my view that was one of the best races in recent seasons and this version of Atlanta is infinitely better than the last five years of the previous configuration @NASCAR

NASCAR has moved into the impossibly untenable world where if it’s not three wide for three hours the race is deemed a failure - unless of course it’s a superspeedway then nobody likes that either 🤷🏼♂️

It absolutely sucks that on Playoff Media Day @Alex_Bowman is forced to address dumbass rumors about his future with the 48 team rather than focus on competition and running for a championship

I fully understand the desire for later Sunday start times and the tangible evidence of better television ratings - but my hope going forward in the new media deal is the television partners balance that more with the risk versus reward of so many weather impacted races

Greg Ives is voicing the view I've shared today - it's out of control and the idea of trying to create more mayhem rather than racing competition is eroding away the integrity of the on track product - there's a difference between good hard racing versus what happened at Indy

In hopes even a small gesture might make a difference and in light of today’s news the season finale Anthem receives a 10 no matter the performance - we are all Americans and I pray we find common ground and eliminate the views and rhetoric that continue to divide us as a nation

And why doesn’t NASCAR and the networks employ more the policy of moving the start time up an hour with 24 hours notice in the event the next day’s forecast is iffy? If that had been in play and some of the pre-race fluff eliminated, an official race could have happened today

Between the weather Friday, the GMS Petty penalties, Kurt Busch’s crash leading to Ty Gibbs’ Cup debut, the Hamlin-Chastain storyline and now the JGR disqualifications it was a hell of a weekend in Pocono

It’s been explained to me and I understand when races are on a broadcast network late starts bleed into a potential higher Sunday prime time audience - but when it’s on USA the race leads into decades old Law & Order reruns - makes no sense #team1pmstarts

The absurd view that the post race interview should be in Victory Lane and not on the front stretch because of people throwing things or chanting vulgar phrases is plain stupid - here’s an idea, how about people act like decent human beings and not moronic imbeciles

Chicago sports talk radio host: “If there were more weeknight NASCAR races I’d watch more NASCAR races. I’m not going to give up too many Sunday afternoons sitting inside in the summer and weekends are usually crammed with sports. NASCAR could own the summer during the week.”

NASCAR just negotiated a 40 percent increase over the last media rights deal - I guess that’s bad news for all the doom and gloom predicted by the naysayers

While I understand the situation I also get your frustration with no TV post race coverage - however I remind you complaining to a radio channel about television coverage is like going to McDonald’s to say your Whopper sucks 🤷🏼♂️

Has there been an owner to come into NASCAR and made such a significant impact in such a relatively short period of time like Justin Marks has done?

The bottom line for me is this race is well past its prime -the whole weekend at Texas felt flat to me and then the controversy at the end just added to the whole debacle-NASCAR and its television partner needs to reimagine this event or send it to the scrap heap once and for all

I can’t say enough about the @IndyCaronNBC coverage from Indianapolis - this is how you cover a sporting event IMO with professionalism, information and when warranted enthusiasm for what’s happening - just incredible coverage

All I can do on this platform going forward is this: report the news, give my opinion and analysis where warranted all while having zero tolerance for racism, hateful comments and division - I hope you’re with me

I don’t care the reason, whether it’s aerodynamics or anything else - a driver’s job is to stay ahead - Ross Chastain is doing nothing wrong and has every right to race hard for the lead and the win - I get Blaney’s frustration but there’s nothing to pin on Chastain here at all

Moving start time for the All-Star Race tonight to accommodate Larson is fine since it’s just an exhibition race - it simply can’t be done next week for the 500/600 Double

Attention some NASCAR “fans” ⬇️
ALT Discriminatory or racist language is unacceptable in any form and has no part in society. Lewis is an incredible ambassador for our sport and deserves respect. His tireless efforts to increase diversity and inclusion are a lesson to many and something we are committed to at F1.
