.@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.


Reddick's son looks like he's getting used to this, lol...

I don't see Mr. H hiring Carson but the way the 48 is running right now ( also a contract year for Alex ) who knows? I have a big problem with the YouTuber getting approvals for tracks other folks can't get. He wrecked at the test at Rockingham . What are we doing?

Hocevar has talent. Someone just needs to corral that aggression and take it down a notch. There was a day when Earnhardt wrecked everything he got near.

Carson has a ton of talent. His lesson will come when a win is taken away from him by getting driven the way he has done to others.

Alex Bowman out this weekend, vertigo. Tried riding around the track and I guess a decision was made.

.@PhoenixRaceway is expecting a crowd on Saturday double the size of the equivalent day last year there which was NASCAR-only, and all hospitality/suite inventory is sold out for the weekend, per NASCAR and IndyCar.

Saturday will be a NASCAR O'Reilly and IndyCar doubleheader.

Either a win is taken from him or he's in line for a win and someone takes him out.

If he can drive around pinned up against the wall with the gas pedal floored for half of a track at Martinsville to get in the Final 4 and simultaneously knock out Hamlin from the Chase in the process - THEN we have something to maybe talk about.

I wasn't a huge fan of him before then, and PossumJenkins told me I would end up being proven wrong, and he ended up being right... was totally 100% over whatever I had against him after I saw that!

So far, all I see out of Hocevar at this level is a hack... he'll be back there riding around with Richard Childress' grandson and the Nemechek's and such on a regular basis here pretty soon, if he doesn't watch himself.

He was still an insider at the time, even if he had already left the sport...

Didn't particularly enjoy it when he made me look dumb, but he usually knew exactly what he was talking about...

Was a great asset to this board. Hope he visits us again sometime.

Looking forward to watching the double header this weekend. I don't watch much Indy Car, so gives me a reason to watch today.

Pretty good last few laps last night, I thought Love had it and then little gator came and took it. Congrats, I think I saw that's at least one win every year for the last 10. Surpasses Busch and I think Mark Martin?

Yep I thought it was a good race too. 3 different winners in the stages. Sammy Smith was strong early, Love was in control a lot throughout the race and then Allgaier brought it home. Kapil had a good car too.

Kapil, is that the car that Rodney is now working on? If so, I'd expect a win or two from the young man.

He had a good car, probably 2nd best to C. Bell, however he was out front when it counted. Penske with a great weekend at Phoenix.

Congrats to the 12, I like RB. Agree about Bell having the probably the best overall car. Man, my driver has had some bad luck since around fall Darlington of last year.

Kept seeing all Toyota's and mostly Penske Ford's in the top 10 most of the day... and then I remember it's the same track where Blaney and Logano won 2 of the last 3 Championships. Bell was great, but I'm never surprised to see a Penske car win on that track.

Just happy it's not the Championship track again this year.

Larson and even Byron ran well at the end, with Larson going for the lead at one point. They haven't put it all together yet though, maybe they will turn it around at Vegas.

I'd throw the 48 in as well, Anthony was running okay after I believe going a lap down before getting caught up in a wreck.
