Very little in the world would keep me from broadcasting the Championship race from Phoenix. Well…. Apparently an emergency appendectomy has done the trick. Thank you to Saint Joseph’s hospital and everyone who helped me out.

As I go to bed tonight I am thankful.... So very thankful that my buddy @DaleJr his wonderful bride @AmyEarnhardt and their sweet little Isla are safe. Our days here are not guaranteed. They should be cherished. I am blessed to have great family and friends and I love them all.

I asked my daughter. Is it Thursday? Her response: “Dad we are living that stay at home life. There are only 3 day weeks. Today, tomorrow and yesterday.”
Makes sense to me. 🤷🏼♂️

Days of Thunder Update #1...
1) I have talked to a race car like that. I do think it helps.
2) Matched tires are really better. And magic sets do exist, but u don’t know when you’ll get them
3) Racing back to the yellow was even a poor idea in the movies. Solid rule change

Congratulations to my buddy @dalejr on being voted into the @NASCARHall. A fierce competitor, a great teammate and now a TV analyst, you always deliver. It’s going to be exciting to watch you celebrate with your family the honor of having your name enshrined in the #NASCARHOF.

Days of Thunder update #2
1) I thought it was sugar... It was sweet and low... & drafting has never been clearer
2) I think I had those Daytona rental cars a few years ago 🚗 💥
3) The Daytona 500 is awesome in real life and the movies..
Full movie review Monday on the DJD.

Whether you like Harvick or not... watching him support his team this week while under scrutiny and then digging his heels in and pushing to find victory lane... that was impressive. Congrats @KevinHarvick & @RodneyChilders4 Bravo

Nothing kills your day like when you are sitting on your arse being lazy sipping a cold one and decide to FaceTime a friend. He then answers while out on a bike ride making you feel even worse about being lazy... Damn you @DaleJr .... 🤦🏼♂️😬HAHA

So two thoughts....
1) If people can pass on the last laps then they should be able to pass on every lap. Rules don’t change mid race
2)I hope that 40 cars and warm temps churns up the race some for Sunday. Reduces the single file around too

My beautiful bride was unimpressed with this news. She has said there will be a watch party this week. 🤷🏼♂️
The only purpose of this tweet is to get all of our followers to @ @SteveLetarte and bug him about never watching Days of Thunder.

With all this short track debate I find it the perfect time to tell everyone.... If you r lucky enough to live near a weekly local track, go support it. Paved. Dirt. Big. Small. Flat or banked. It doesn’t matter. Weekly local Racing is where it all starts and a great family time.

Couldn’t be more proud of my son tonight. Led the whole race and ended getting wrecked by a lap car. Kid was a rookie. Came over to apologize and Tyler was polite and mature... sometimes you learn more losing then winning. Thanks to @OriginalSTP @FactoryQRC

The quote “lot of beer”. I can confirm. All the way to sunrise. Nothing like @Bojangles with a cold beer at sunrise. Right @DaleJr ...
"I wanted that grandfather clock ever since I was a little boy."
Back in 2014, @DaleJr won at @MartinsvilleSwy - and with it one of the most iconic trophies in @NASCAR. #TBT

Jimmie is as classy as they come. I consider him and his family good friends. First I hope they get thru this time safely. Second.... the Brickyard won’t be the same without 7 time but his professionalism is appreciated in these times. True Champion!!

So happy this guy was voted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Jeff’s been my mentor forever, I’ve had an incredible career because he gave a 25yr old kid a shot at crew chiefing for him. I couldn’t be more thankful for all he’s done for our sport, and for me personally. Congrats Jeff

My pet peeve for 2018 is the on the phone while in line ordering person. Either take the phone call or place your order. Doing both simultaneously is rude. That is all.....

Nowadays we can’t go to Watkins Glen and not talk track limits.
For me, I think it’s ridiculous to see 85% of the cars not use the racetrack as it was designed.
Agree or disagree?
