In traffic it’s like running @TALLADEGA
That’s a damn tour bus! Easier or harder to drive than a NASCAR?
No sir. I drive this.
@markmartin Hello Mark. Do you still fly at all?
Thank you @PrimeTimeChuck I can’t wait for my book to come out. I’m telling it like it was about a lot of things I couldn’t when I was racing.
Mark tells it like it is. I wish i could talk to you face to face @markmartin . Cause i know you'd shoot straight with me about a lot of questions ive been asking for years, but never getting answers to.... You make me proud to be a fan and to stand for what I stand for .
The post of the day 🏁
The argument between full season points vs playoffs is basically "All 36 races should factor equally into judging a team's performance and deciding the year's best team" vs "Somebody might be too deserving of a championship and that would be boring for the rest of us."
Three different areas and all polls continue to show the majority wants a full season points system. @markmartin poll has probably a good amount of true race fans, but then @jeff_gluck has probably a good combination of true race fans, casual, and media people. Now then “the…
No. I think they prefer it because they don’t know or understand Car Racing. Only stick and ball sports. They want it to be like what they know. Only problem is they don’t understand why there 36 teams play in our championship game instead of two like they are used to.
Mark, honest question here? Do you think the networks prefer this format because they have an interest in less people watching?
Mad respect for @chaseelliott here. Check it out.
Here's one for ya: I asked @chaseelliott about the topic of the week with the NASCAR championship format debate, and he endorsed full-season points. Chase: "We've had a really good and competitive battle to the regular season (championship) over -- correct me if I'm wrong -- the…
Respect 🏁
Junior Hanley Classic tomorrow night at @Sunset_Speedway in the pro late! Ran this badass scheme about a year ago to the day. Let’s go get us one 👊🏻
Looking forward to this event. I will see everyone there.
2006 Pontiac Firebird Driver: Rob Kauffman This is one of many IROC cars that will be at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at @WeatherTechRcwy August 13–16. Link in bio for tickets!
Amen, brother! Reminds me of when I was asked if I was worried when ruffling feathers as an announcer, by “criticizing” the product? I said, “Even though my paycheck comes from the network/series, I really work for the fans. It’s an imperfect form of job security. Since…
We now only lack the introduction and Jeff Gordon’s foreword for the book. Both will be completed shortly. I have personally selected all of the photos. I have dug deep into the archives of various photographers and have picked out some amazing shots.
Great article here @VPuglieseRacing @Frontstretch frontstretch.com/2025/07/23/sir…
Thank you sir 🙌🏼 I love stock car racing but love the fans even more. @TexacoHavoline
@6matthewmartin told you I was gonna buy some merch! Tell your dad how much I appreciate him giving a voice to those like me who grew up loving 90’s & early 00’s NASCAR just as it was and never asked for change. Appreciate all you two are doing. 🫡
I’ve always felt like Tommy Lee Jones or maybe Robert Duvall could have played my grandfather Julian in a film. I hope people who read dad’s book get a sense of the epic character he was. He was a local legend in our part of Arkansas and passed down his love of speed to dad.
Tommy Lee Jones could’ve played Mark Martin BITD.
Prove it. I can prove they don’t.
The majority of fans love the playoff
I’m 21 and can’t stand this current system. Don’t let them say it’s just old people that want a different format. I think the Winston format had flaws but could easily be made into a much better season long format.
NO WE DONT
Mark you know I love you but what we got is a whole lot better than what we used to do. We need a playoff we need eliminations we need to reward winning and consistency. This format does it all & is highly entertaining!
Unfortunately, the sanctioning body is now beholden to the broadcast networks, as we inch closer and closer to the line between legitimacy and entertainment.
Please remember that all of them in that platform are beholding to NASCAR. Moody is the worst. You can’t say one negative thing. It’s essentially the propaganda tool of the governing body. I quit listening. @PPistone blocked me for a comment on armed security 4 Mexico race.
