I'm sorry to disappoint Spike. I was going to report about Kyle Larson winning, but got talking to Hoss and didn't want to switch the topic. Thank you for covering my rear with all the news! Analysis: So far, 2024 shaping up to be an all-time NASCAR season I don't know if you posted this or not, but Dale Jr will be with TNT and Amazon next season.

Surprised Garrett didn't mention this already but Kyle Larson won by the closest margin ever in a cup race Sunday night. Now onto the Silly Season rumors.... Stewart Haas Racing is most likely going to shrink to a 3 car team and sell one of its charters. It sent out a memo to interested teams of what it wants $$$$ wise https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/07/will-stewart-haas-racing-downsize-next-year/ Interested buyers include 23XI racing, Front Row Motorsports, Legacy Motorclub and Trackhouse Racing. Speaking of Charters, NASCAR and teams still have not come to an agreement yet https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/06/the-latest-on-nascar-charter-negotiations/ NASCAR has also said it wants a charter owned by the France family however that might change due to heavy pushback from owners and drivers. NASCAR might be forced to dump the V8 by 2026 or beyond if manufacturers have their way. Certain manufacturers want to run hybrid engines that they already use in the vehicles they build. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/05/06/motorsports?publicationSource=sbj&issue=3bb600ea0db04fa1bc247cbf890b7096 If that happens I will not be watching, I enjoy hearing the loud V8's. With that rumor apparently Honda and Hyundai are in talks with joining NASCAR if they move to hybrid powertrains. V8 Supercars driver Will Brown has been in talks with RCR to drive the 33 for Sonoma https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/05/supercars-driver-will-brown-reportedly-making-cup-debut-with-richard-childress-racing-at-sonoma/

He came to F1 really young, and I could see how talented he was, but his first world title should've gone to Lewis Hamilton if the officials had followed the rules correctly. Since then he's made a few questionable moves on the track. So, while I can acknowledge his skill as a driver, I'm not a fan.

and NEVER gives him a raise

Thanks! ....... very helpful!

One thing I like about dirt bikes is that nobody is really so dominate that it makes the races boring. There is this young Australian named Jett Lawrence who has the potential to become like that though.

It's always interesting who will thrive on new rules and changes and all that. In the long run that is exciting that one driver can dominate so heavily and the season be won by one team. Kinda like in NASCAR how Jeff Gordon dominated under the old system, but Jimmie Johnson thrived under the Chase format. Though I don't think Jimmie really raced much if at all under the old format. I do know Gordon would have two or three more championships under his belt if they had stuck with the old racing format (which makes more sense to me. Even though at the time, I didn't understand the point system.) . With all that said, Hoss, are you a fan of Max?

Max's Red Bull team have dominated F1 since new rules were introduced a couple of years ago. Their car was better at the start of that first season with the new rules, and they've been a step ahead of the competition ever since. Last year Max won all but three races, and his team mate Sergio Perez won two of the others (Carlos Sainz Jr of Ferrari was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a race last year). The fact that Max nearly always beats Sergio in an identical car shows that he's a very talented driver. In 2023. Max won the championship with 575 points. Sergio was second with 285! Red Bull's recent cars were designed by Adrian Newey, who is widely regarded as the best designer in the sport for many years. Just over a week ago he announced that he was leaving Red Bull due to internal issues. Rumor has it that he'll go to Ferrari, which is where Lewis Hamilton is heading next year after driving Mercedes-powered cars for his entire career.

If it's not your favorite driver, it gets old and frustrating when the same person wins every time. Is there a reason why Max wins every race?? (Other than that he's good?) In NASCAR there is always one driver that seems to dominate the season, but they never win every race like that. I am glad that someone else won yesterday though for you. That had to be exciting. For everyone. It makes it more exciting that way.

Wow!

Certain character combinations are automatically converted to emojis to save you having to go to the emoji button and add them in. I find it quite useful, but because the close bracket ')' character is used for a lot of the smiling emojis, it cuts down your options, especially with lists. You'd have a similar problem when you got to D. Going forward, you could either use lowercase letters, i.e. a), b), c) etc., or you could put a space in between, i.e. A ), B ), C ).

Well, I said that I wouldn't bother reporting on F1 until someone other than Max Verstappen won, and it looked like that would continue at Miami. Max took pole in the sprint race and the main race and won the sprint, but things didn't go his way in the main race. At just over 1/3 distance, Max made a rare mistake, missed a chicane and ran over a bollard which caused a bit of damage to his car. A few laps later, local driver Logan Sargeant collided with the Haas of Kevin Magnussen to bring out the safety car. Max had already pitted for tires, so Mclaren's Lando Norris was able to pit under the safety car and stay in first place. With Max unable to catch him, Lando went on to his first win in F1 after 110 races (he's finished in the top three 15 times). Behind Lando and Max were the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr in third and fifth, Max's Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez in fourth and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton in sixth. You can see the race highlights here.

He came to fame in the UK when he starred in a very gritty 1982 drama series called 'Boys from the Blackstuff' which followed five unemployed men looking for work. 'Titanic' and 'The Lord of the Rings' are probably the works he's best known for outside of the UK.

Titanic fans... I just found out, Bernard Hill(Captain Smith) died at 79 years old.

Not sure what’s up with your B?

Did anyone else catch the Mistake/Blooper in the end of the Season 4 episode Double Dukes? When the real General Lee makes the fake General Lee flip over in the 5 count from Bo, the fake loses it's mirror off the driver's door. But when it's on the fork lift at Cooter's Garage, being hauled away, the mirror is back on it.

From Cooter's Confession: What is Hazzard's zip code? A) 00965 12345 C) 99999 This is weird. The computer turned my B into a yellow face. I edited it and it did it again and I couldn't undo it. Ever weirder: it does this on another forum I do.....also with the B when I make a list.
