today’s NASCAR is just too vanilla.

saw a 30 for 30 on Janet Guthrie…didn’t realize she jumped into NASCAR and was pretty good and earned the respect of (most of) the good ol’ boys.

Shirley Muldowney is another trail blazer.  Check her story out.  It’s drag racing but still a great story.

cha cha had a great team, I think. lack of a money team held janet back. she couldn’t get up to qualifying speed in her first attempt at indy but aj foyt let her drive his backup car and she turned laps that would have put her in the field….but it was the car, not the driver, who qualified and aj couldn’t just “give her” his backup car.

That is the thing with these "little teams".  They have talented drivers but not the equipment.  It costs a ton of money to make a car in NASCAR.

So the race season is over.  Congrats to Logano for his third cup championship.  His teammate almost caught him to take that chip away.  My boy Lord Byron finished a distant 3rd.  They didn't have enough top end on the straight ways to catch up.

Props to 23XI racing for finishing 4th in owner points.  Those guys are the little engine that could out there.  Small potatoes among the giants.  9 points separated 1st and 4th in owner points.  5th was in the far away distance.

Fun season.  That kid Hocevar will end up w ROY but if he doesn't stop wrecking people he won't have much pf a career.

Not nearly enough talk about the pace car wrecking. I’ve never seen anything like that. Could have been real bad.

omg ! i FORGOT TO MENTION THAT!!!!  Michael Jordan got a kick out of that.  I'm pretty sure they kicked him out of driving it for the rest of the day.

You know it's bad when the "safety Driver" crashes, lol.
