    RIP Humpy Wheeler

    Love him or hate him, he was a brilliant promoter.

    RIP Texas Motor Speedway race promoter Eddie Gossage

    This may be a little too inside baseball for anyone who didn't cover auto racing, but Eddie was a real character and tireless promoter for his track in Fort Worth. Learned the trade under the master, Humpy Wheeler, and was one of Bruton's lop lieutenants. 65 is way too damn young. I always...

    RIP Cale Yarborough, NASCAR Hall of Famer

    Hate to give my former site extra clicks, but already posted in the Motorsports thread ... https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2023/12/31/cale-yarborough-fierce-competitor-and-three-time-cup-series-champion-dies-at-age-84/

    Running 2023 Motorsports thread

    NASCAR supposedly sponsored a float in the Rose Parade to celebrate 75 years. Too bad Donald Duck beat them to the punch about 50 years ago.

    The 2022 running NASCAR, IMSA & other racing things thread

    We’re kicking it off now? Yes. Yes, we are. Because the 2022 Rolex 24 at Daytona field is out, and not only is it full at 60 teams (up from 49 in 2021) but the new GT Daytona Pro class has more than twice the GT3 entries than the GT Le Mans class it replaces, and the original GT Daytona pro-am...

    RIP John Wes Townley

    I’m pretty sure I’ve said mean things about this man over his years as a NASCAR driver, but this comes completely out of left field.

    The 2021 Running NASCAR/IMSA/other racing things thread

    Because NASCAR owns IMSA. And the Rolex 24 started today, and the Cup champion is in the race. (somewhere) And also because Magnus Racing — the outfit with the best-tuned sense of humor in all of motorsports — entered this Acura NSX in the GT Daytona class, and it deserves to be seen.

    Because Race Car: The 2020 running motorsports thread

    Not IndyCar, not NASCAR, not even IMSA (which was last weekend, sorry) ... you are looking LI-I-I-I-IVE at Mount Panorama and the Bathurst 12 Hours, with just over 5 hours to go as I post this:

    RIP Bill Simpson

    A lot of race drivers are alive today because of Bill Simpson and his safety products. Particularly when it came to dying from fire. Nomex. Crash helmets. Safety belts. He pushed everyone in the industry to do better. And NASCAR basically tried to ruin his company after the Earnhardt crash...

    NASCAR is not for the birds

    Hundreds Of Birds Kill Themselves Crashing Into NASCAR Hall of Fame Hundreds of birds launched themselves into the side of the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday night, killing themselves ... and the surreal scene was all caught on video. A woman in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina filmed the...
