Bowman taking that Chevy 88 to victory lane last weekend! There is hope for Chevys!

Burton, not a fan but congrats to him in the Xfinity series.

Fontana ended up providing better races than I thought.

Logano wins at Phoenix! So happy that it wasn't Harvick or Ky. Busch, usually the two favorites at Phoenix.

The race was thrilling for sure.

MTJ and Blaney cannot catch a break.

The Atlanta Truck race will be interesting with Chase Elliott running it to win that bounty on Kyle Busch.

So, Kyle Larson has really fucked himself.

Let's post all the tweets to get people caught up who don't know.













for anyone who doesn't know, Kyle Larson dropped the N word with the hard R last night during an iRacing event, and it was picked up on a couple of live streams of others who was streaming the event.

Like before this, he was going to be one of the hottest free agents at the end of the year, and had a chance to really probably go to almost any team he wanted who would have an open ride. But after this, he's got a long long way to go to bounce back.

Larson fucked up. It's unforgiving to say such word, don't matter if it's iRacing or not. It implies to everything in our society. Sucks to be him, and yes, it's gonna take years to redeem himself.

A good way to make sure this doesn't happen is whether you agree with the "canceling" or not, you should probably practice not saying this word in private so it doesn't happen to come out in public by accident. And if you think it's "just a word" so "why can't I say it" then by that same logic it's "just a word" so why the fuck do you need to say it so bad?

No sympathy for Larson, but I will acknowledge that plenty others might be just lucky he was the one that had it slip out instead of them though. And not just in NASCAR obviously although this does not help the stereotype

Whattt...?

I lose power for two days and something falls apart in NASCAR.

Larson...why..? Not the Ganassi driver in NASCAR that I thought would get caught using that language to be honest. Kurts the one that is known for being a hot head in the past. Really surprised by this.

Yeah you missed a lot haha.

I was shocked as well. Like didn’t see that coming AT ALL.

That was a great response that I can't see any reasonable person disagreeing with. The problem is most people are not reasonable on the internet.

@Satan @Southerner wow

Matt Kenseth in a Chevy. Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch teammates in 2020. Totally wild!

I wonder if Kenseth will join in on the virtual races (which I have been watching every week).

Also it's great to see that Ryan Newman is back in the swing of things in NASCAR.
