Yep. It can bring out the best in the worst of booze.

Sun Drop is the ultimate mixer.

I do miss the old formula though. Wood pulp and all

My late, former father in law used it as a mixer for a hideous corn whiskey called "Mellow Corn". The first and last time I ever tried it left me hung over and sicker than a woman pregnant with twins. But, the 7 Up did its job, and got me drunker than Cooter Brown. Never again, and that was over 40 years ago.

Just never got all that excited about Michigan. Seems to be a "follow the leader" race.

Given that Michigan was the center of automobile production for years, I am still disappointed that the track isn't more of a super speedway track like Daytona and Talladega. The racing there is difficult for me to watch and always has been.

I'm hoping we will see the 3-5 wide racing as before. I like the track…jmo

Same. It, California, NH, and Dover are tracks I've just chosen to ignore in the past
Maybe the new car makes it better

Gonna start with it and see how it goes. No rubber on the track might make it worth watching for a while.

Kind of a strange race... whoever was upfront had the best car, and everyone had a turn it seemed.

Not a Harvick fan in general, but didn't mind seeing him win either... I know that the Ford execs are happy.
Bell Tower Grey

Yeah. Looked like the cars in clean air got faster than I've seen them in a while. Glad to see Harvick score one for the older guys. Wouldn't be surprised to see him retire after this season.

I was pulling for Wallace there, and have not been a Harvick fan, but after watching his post race, glad he got it done.

I think it was ncsupack i was chatting with on this just a week or two ago if harvick could get it done and get a win to get into the POs....and darned if the guy stepped up.

Agree on the race though -- that was like the aero races where one guy in the lead just drives away from everyone.

Love Dale Jr in the booth and his perspective…but really don't like the role they have him in. He should be more on the color side than the play by play role

Jr is almost as excited calling a race as he was running a race. Love his broadcast. His dirty mo podcast is a must listen to also. Yesterday was a better race than I thought it would be.

Yeah, got to agree with that all the way around... he's really good at the role that they have him in, but you know that he'd be even better as the color guy.

I wouldn't have had a problem with Bubba winning either, the way that he drove away from the field at the start was similar to the way that Harvick drove away at the end.

Taking the entire race in and watching a lot of different cars upfront that no one could pass, I'd have to say that (in no certain order) Harvick, Wallace and Chastain probably had the three best cars... would have been interesting if all three of them had been up there on that last restart.

I believe that was me. I was happy as heck as a 4 fan. Overall pretty good weekend of racing. Good time for that team to start winning, but lots of work still to be done. Also, the 5 gave the 4 one heck of a push.

I'd be surprised if he did. When he does talk he doesn't sound like he is thinking of stepping down. I think next year is it.

.@USA_Network earned a 1.54 rating and 2.621 million viewers for Sunday's race at Michigan, up from both last year's event there in late August and the comparable weekend in 2021 at Watkins Glen.

It was the second highest rated sport event of the weekend after @NFL HOF game. https://t.co/V3qnZMlhuM

Asking prices for NASCAR charters have reached $20 million, per sources, despite continuing skepticism from some in the industry over the true value of the sport's version of franchises.

That's up 48% from the $13.5M that 23XI paid just last year.
