'Come Bring Your Punk Ass Down To Applebee's' Is The NASCAR Energy We Need

On Friday, as practice laps wound down for the Brickyard 400, Mike Harmon clipped Michael Annett’s bumper, ripping it right off. Annett expressed frustration, saying that talking the incident over with Harmon was “arguing with an idiot.”

Using his team’s Twitter account, Harmon, who says he apologized, had some choice words for Annett:

NASCAR is usually more interested in having disputes settled and with Annett finishing a full 20 places ahead of Harmon on Saturday at Indianapolis, it seems like this particular tiff is in the bag.

Still, I think fast-casual parking lot showdowns are exactly the kind of thing NASCAR could use to bump up viewership. Between half-price appetizers and $1 Mai Tais, there’s a lot to like. When you add in racing driver beef and cup cars, you’re going to have a winning formula. I’m thinking burnout competitions? I just hope no retirees lose their appetite for with all that rubber smoke in the air.

The Best Way To Race Is To Race Everything
Most of us would be very tempted to strike a deal with Lucifer himself if we could go racing every weekend. For Tyler McQuarrie, all he had to do was find the right sponsor. He’ll be racing in six different series this year (which is insane and unheard of) and...

Entire Three-Wide Second Row Wipes Out Together In NASCAR Pile-Up
Entire Three-Wide Second Row Wipes Out Together In NASCAR Pile-Up
Sometimes going three-wide into a turn doesn’t work out. Tonight at Kansas had one of those times. Denny Hamlin came up the middle between Brad Keselowski and Kyle Larson, but when the No. 2 of Keselowski started to spin, so did the No. 11 of Denny Hamlin. Hamlin’s car then...

6 Hours Of Spa-Francorchamps' Winner Was Just Less Broken Than Everyone Else
No car in the top World Endurance Championship LMP1-H class went the entire 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps trouble-free. Fortunately, the No. 8 Audi’s biggest problem was relatively minor. Joining it in the top three was a limping Porsche and a car in the slower, non-manufacturer LMP1 class. That’s right: only...

Hot Dog Hot Rod Laps Hot Track At Circuit Of The Americas
Here’s why we love the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile in a nutshell. Back in April, it went for a teeter-tottery drive around Circuit of the Americas. Why? Well, why not? It’s a traveling wiener with a big, smiling bun. The better question is: why wouldn’t you put that on a race...
