There is a lot of unrest with NASCAR even up here (Ohio/Michigan line area).  I hear a lot of people say they will no longer watch NASCAR, and with the steep decline in attendance over the last few years, NASCAR could be in trouble.  Ironically, there are a few local very low budget dirt tracks around here that have been packing them in as opposed to only a few people in the stands.  Now the whole noose publicity stunt....

I couldn’t agree more on the word. There’s lots of words I find offensive. I hear offensive words daily. I refrain from using offensive words. The problem is people who claims such words are offensive

Never ever forget that the 48 (JJ) has done something we'll never see again: win FIVE Cup championships in a row.  Still unbelieveable!

NASCAR (now NOOSECAR?), RP Motorsports, and Bubba Wallace-Smollett owe the few remaining fans, the FBI, the State of Alabama, the Talladega employees, the sponsors, and all of the other teams a HUGE APOLOGY for their #FakeNoose race-baiting publicity stunt, especially during the current national crisis!!

That last lap at Talladega was good racing. Gotta enjoy a race when the finish is that close.

 

Back to back at Pocono this weekend. Hopefully Chase can rebound and get some stage wins.

This ought to answer any questions, correct any mis-information, and correct any mis-beliefs about the situation and how it was handled:

Xfinity = ComCrap which likely = instant failure.

It would suit me just fine if they ran the cupcars on the road course also.  Or maybe just add another race there.

I'm looking forward to the All-Star race at Bristol this year. Bristol is always entertaining, but when you bring the All-Star race (aka as Checkers or Wreckers) there, it should make for some interesting racing action!

That was a great finish to today's race. Nobody was lifting on that last lap. Gotta love some hard racing with a little contact.

Let's go Chase! Big win even if it doesn't carry into the playoffs. Really cool sword he got as a trophy for winning at the Colosseum.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.

      Im a fan.  Simply moving the screen up helps the look of the interior.  I feel like GM dropped the ball on the current gen having the screen not at the same level as the top of the gauge cluster.  The GMCs look better with the vents above the screen to close that gap.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I hear you, its just not something one would even think of that the new oil in the container isn't filtered to a spec one would expect it to be.    As to a passenger vehicle theme and the maintenance requirement to meet to ensure a warranty is honored, these days with claims of life time transmission fluid on some models and the limited amount of oil changes that would bring one to the end of the factory warranty, that sells vehicles for those that like to hear "easy care maintenance free", but the manufacturer certainly knows different as to what that more than likely means for the longevity of some of the components if given that minimum spec maintenance. Then again I imagine there are a fair number of people that really don't care as long the vehicle gets them a certain number of years down the road because they are the type that want the next new thing, new and improved ... more bells and crap etc on the new one on the show room floor. Manufacturers have learned the phycological game to entice the customer out of their money !

      Why soooooo many screens? Shall we just replace the windshield with a large plasma?!?!? Besides that I like the looks. And they added back the additional door cubbies,    No SS???
