I forgot it was night race.

Southern 500 next Sunday evening/night. 6:30pm iirc. Last race before the playoffs.

At least most people have that Monday off, unlike the previous Sunday night race.

I remember both of those...how odd is it both were former Capitals players?

Sunday night football has no problem filling stadiums. They want so badly to be the NFL. lol

Yea, I forgot Malarchuk was a Cap.

That's terrible.  So sad for his family.

I’ve seen a couple comments today that said Caps training camp is three weeks away, but still no exact date.

that is truly tragic.   That poor family.  What does the sister do?   Tell me she postponed it?     How can that possibly be  happy day?

How is it that the suspect was named?   Idiots are going to target his innocent family.

What happened to the driver in front, that the fella was trying to pass?   Did they stop too?

I haven’t pursued it much, but it appears the wedding happened as a wake as well.


In this country, arrests and court proceedings are a matter of public record. Anyone can see the information and post it online. Most are not interesting enough to report on. As far as the accident goes, I’m guessing it will be a couple days before the local law enforcement finishes the crash scene report, and Monday is a holiday here so it may be a couple days to get all the details on that.

And another new winner at the Southern 500 puts Briscoe in the chase.

I kinda feel bad for Michael Jordan. I do not feel bad for bubba.

[Mickstix]

Bubba wasn't making it either way. Buescher is the one to feel bad for. There's a bunch of guys in this year that have no business running for a Championship. Burton, Briscoe, Suarez, Bowman, Cindric, Keselowski..

[alta]

As it stands, if I could afford to field a team, I could get 1 win and 25 DNFs and I’d be in the chase. That’s fucking stupid. It made much more sense when a guy could win the championship as long he consistently finished well yet didn’t win a race.

[Mickstix]

It's so fucking stupid. They're adding another RC next year. (Mexico replaces Richmond) They already have a rc in each of the 1st 2 rounds. All they need to do is add one in round 3, then the VanGinsbergen's of the Euro Cup series can come over here and be Nascar Cup Champ with 3 rc wins and a little luck in Phoenix. lol

Rookie camp is September 13-16
