THANK YOU
@gtworldcham
for awarding me the Jim Cook Award - “significant contributions to the overall success of the SRO Championships through promotional activities and a consistent display of good character.”
Changing the bio to award winning motorsport streamer 😂
I didn't realize the stick was shoved so far up their ass it affected the frontal lobe of their brain.
They gentrify American cities (with a fourth copyrighted,) they take American sponsor money, they take American fan money but refuse an American heritage team?
I hope in Austin this year
@F1
opens the paddock to the general public so a bunch of midwestern dads can stand around the Ferrari garage and troubleshoot what’s going on.
Message I received from a former boss 😭 Sometimes we get too bogged down in views/numbers and if we’re doing enough in this space. It’s good to remember why we started doing content in the first place.
Folks are forgetting why F1 is called F1. Teams figure out the best way to follow rules, engineer/build the car, have the ideal drivers for that car etc. - this isn’t a spec series. YOU CAN WATCH OTHER RACING to get what you’re complaining about 🤌
Stop *only* looking at race wins.
Sainz: consistency, making his own strategy calls, clean over takes, did well w/ pressure from RB.
Hamilton: consistency in finishes, third most overtakes in the season, third in WDC, always punching above where the Merc car is

doesn’t give you permission to full send into corners. As a GT3 I am to be predictable & race the line - your job as an LMP2/LMDH is to pass me safely. If you’re flashing me into the bus stop entry to full send, we’re both meeting god.

is giving out FM radios (& headphones) so you can listen to the Sky Sports broadcast. Being at the track it’s hard to hear or even know what’s happening. (they also did this at COTA!)
I need Nickelodeon to do a companion broadcast during the Daytona 500. Patrick from Spongebob explaining pack racing, drafting, drag, and restrictor plates would single-handedly solve America’s STEM education problem. Additionally, we get Dora explaining NASCAR overtime.
We did it - we streamed the

at Spa. Honestly have been a little emotional realizing how far the community & motorsport stream has come. Thank you to the SRO fam for this opportunity! Thank YOU, tweet reader, for watching and supporting.
“You’re not really going to spend the year basing your whole personality around men and women driving in circles who don’t even know you exist, are you?”
Me:
My most controversial motorsports take is motorsport fans (and series) are soft. Imagine if Stephen A. Smith switched over to commentate on NASCAR or F1, y'all would absolutely not know what to do with yourselves 😭😭
Over 50K viewers tuned into my
@IMSA
Petit Le Mans watchalong stream, which is estimated to be roughly *checks math* 20% of the in-person attendance. The way people consume motorsports is changing - stop with these ancient, rigid broadcast deals & let's work together.
When I see TikTok videos of people wanting to work in motorsport they actually want to be a celebrity or influencer in the paddock, not walk half a mile uphill, literally, to their car in hail and rain through a dirt lot.
*Literally* how to watch the Daytona 24 📺 Sometimes we forget 101 videos help those who might be newer or trying to get into

There is so much racing this weekend including

@telegraaf
Why would any smart Formula 1 team hire women, especially Gen Z or Millennian women? They are always trying to take down their bosses if they feel they're not "treated with respect."
Mark my words, this is going to hurt women's participation in F1
BUSTED! A dude came into my iRacing stream last night to say, "[This is clearly a] 'doing it for my boobs' channel..." *while* I was like this.
Glad he found me ... appealing.
Thank god I have men to clarify that I don’t watch motorsports, didn’t want to stumble onto the, what’s it called, race field? race pitch? race diamond? race rink?🤔
A shame I have to wreck someone before the holidays.
You can disagree with my hot takes, challenge my stats, hate my predictions - but we are NOT going to discredit the amount of work myself and countless others put in.

There is equally as many fan boys as fan girls. No one bats an eye when a guy is obsessed with a team but god forbid a woman does the same. Get outta here.
They keep putting me in fast moving vehicles this weekend - thank you

Hi - my name is Ash and I talk a lot, in general, and about motorsports if you need somewhere to hang during your favorite motorsport races —including today’s
@F1
and
@NASCAR
races.
If we watch motorsports together and I say things like “Are wins a driver stat?” or “They can’t handle high pressure moments,” I want you to discuss with me.
Don’t start yelling, “How did you get into my house?” Or “Why is the window broken?”
If the only time you tell me to highlight men in motorsports is when I highlight women in motorsports - you don’t give a shit about highlighting anybody, you want to belittle women’s accomplishments.
ALSO MOTORSPORTS IS LIKE 85% MEN SO WE HIGHLIGHT THEM EVERY RACE WEEKEND 🙄
Please give your best fake
@NASCAR
race names, I'll start:
- The S&P 500 500
- No One Out Pizzas the Hut 250
- Maybe Your Worth It? Maybe it’s Maybelline 350
- Pepperidge Farm Remembers 300
THANK YOU! Thank you to the 1.6 million of you who tuned in to watch

Thank you to the thousands of people who joined us for the Austin GP

@gtworldcham
’s Sonoma race on the SRO Motorsports Twitch. Why would someone watch this way? I was able to answer questions live, keep the show going btwn races, talk about the drivers + cars, and make people care. Welcome to (motor)sports on Twitch.
Can we actually push Logan into American culture this time? 👀 I need to see him at hockey games, throwing out first pitches, Dolphins games, STEM stuff in schools, NASCAR + Indy races, etc. This man is from Florida and didn't even post about Jimmy Buffet - GIVE ME SOMETHING 🤌
There is a problem in motorsport that fans do not read data or question sources. U.P.I.S.S. doesn't exist and this graph is made up.
A second example - Formula E claimed they were now bigger than NASCAR when their sample size was .09% - to make definite claims, at least 5-10%.
Tonight, 8pm,

This is the pinnacle of being a motorsports fan - tailgating with friends while making new ones, sitting on the roof of your car while watching sports cars rip through turns 1 and 2, and standing so close to the track you can feel the wind whip by as cars past.
Want to focus on educational motorsport content & interviews but those barely get views.
I make a meme motorsport video & it gets views but then industry folks say I’m not serious or taking motorsports seriously.
Me talking about F1 news today: "This is from a NEWS AGGREGATE WEBSITE quoting another NEWS AGGREGATE WEBSITE - neither are JOURNALISTS OR FACT CHECKERS OR MEDIA - TOOK OUT OF CONTEXT a quote from someone who USE TO BE IN F1 and has NOTHING TO DO WITH DECISION MAKING."
Thank you to the
@IndyCar
