Bottom post of the previous page:

any Kyle Busch fans around?

[acerogers58]

I don't mind Kyle as he brings something unique to the sport, his antics off track are still as bad as they were when he was young, but he has at least stopped the BS he did on track early in his career, which has greatly improved his performance and consistency.

I think the aftermath of the Hornaday incident at Texas in 2011 was a real wake up call for him He realized the amount of respect he lost from that incident along with some other things, and some would say he still hasn't regained.

thanks - I'll have to look up that incident. I'm sure it must be on YouTube.

Why do some tracks host 2 rounds per season? Is it because of tradition, popularity, because they pay for it... or a bit of a combination of all those?

[acerogers58]

I believe it’s a bit of a combination, there’s been at least 1 track with 2 dates every year since 1950.

I hope Matt Tifft can eventually get back in the car once he's medically fit, perhaps with the team he now co-owns, but for now it's B.J Mcleod

Oh man, I hope it goes well for him.

In other coverage news, Jamie Little will be lead announced of the ARCA series.
Does it mean she will no longer do pit reporting for the Cup series?

[acerogers58]

I wouldn’t think that’d effect her pit reporting, Vince Welch is the main announcer for the truck series and still pit reports most cup races..

So.. John Hunter Nemechek left a full time cup ride to go back to trucks.. Interesting..

Son of . According to Google.

[acerogers58]

Yep that’s Joe’s son, he’s named after John Nemechek, Joe’s brother who died in an accident just 3 months before John Hunter was born.
