This is interesting. Very much worth the read.

Chris Gabehart has formally opposed Joe Gibbs Racing’s request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, filing a sworn declaration disputing the allegations of trade secret misappropriation.https://t.co/GHgJJFLtmW

I bet for his next trick - that Gabehart ignores protocol and goes straight for the "Triple Dog Dare"...

Lol

The man is a legend.

Once upon a time (2021) Leonard built a 50% scale 427 replica

People said that’s cool, but does it run?

Once upon a time (today) Leonard revved a new handmade 50% scale Boss 429 to 6000rpm without sending pushrods through the ceiling

Nice Friday afternoon of on track activity.

In an email from Chris Gabehart to JGR CFO Tim Carmichael: "I am not certain that the resentment that Heather and Ty now clearly show towards me will ever be repaired. And with them being the future leaders of this company, I'm afraid that leaves me in a no-win situation."

Hopefully we have a good race today, yesterday's I thought was okay. Truck race another story down there in St. Pete.

Yep, truck race was blah...not a fan. Of course, I dont like road courses anyway.

For some real action, the CARS Tour was at Southern National yesterday. They kicked off speedweek there. The Chargers are there today, taking tomorrow off and then 4 days of Late Model Stock races.

Are you there? Saw there was a disagreement in victory lane.

I'm not the biggest fan either. Hopefully the trend continues of reduction.

No wasnt able to make it yesterday. Just watched online

5 had some engine readings that the team didn't like. If they plug in the computer they go to the rear, I don't think they did that. But something to watch.

I need me one of those "Drive Fast - Turn Left" t-shirts I just saw on the pre-race coverage…

24 paint job looks absolutely glorious today!

Agree, looks good. Also, what a crowd there.

Heard them mention it was the largest crowd so far this year.

Would like to see either of Reddick (again) or Blaney win this race. Please no SVG.

I can see that. Looks good.

Tyler Reddick looks to be going 3 for 3. Strong performance

That was a good race. What an awesome accomplishment by Tyler and 23XI.

I'm in Pinehurst at the resort with the wife and we had to go to dinner with about 20 laps left, so I missed the end - but Blaney wasn't able to get by him all day before that, so I didn't think he would catch him unless something unexpected happened. Wanted to add, that I liked Blaney's paint job today as well. Always enjoy when they change it up a little… where are we next week?

I hope Bubba didn't pout too much that Jordan got to congratulate Tyler on another "W"…

Well, I guess I must have missed something in those last 20 laps because that order of finish sure got changed up a bunch after I had to leave.

Looks like Hocevar had to pull another Hocevar there, but from watching the highlights it must not have brought out a caution because Reddick was very well clear of anybody else at the finish line.

The 77 I believe spun on the white flag, I read somewhere that Cole got into him but I haven't seen any video.

Harvick raced with broken ribs a couple of years ago at the time only a few folks knew about it. Fell down some stairs.

.@FoxTV got a 2.06 rating + 3.933 million viewers for Sunday's NASCAR race @COTA, down from 4.132 million last year.

But NASCAR had to compete against huge increases in cable TV news due to the Middle East war, with cable news viewership up 64% over last week during the race.
