and he squirted me with his water. Angry, I decided to go out and beat him in his last race, which I did. Just like I did in

When I was 14 I raced against Dick at Madison International in a late model. We raced really hard for 50 laps of a 100 lap race, swapping spots about every other lap. In the last ten laps he punted me out of the way. After the race he offered me a cigarette
Got a call from
@coorslight
last night about my Sterling Marlin Silver Bullet Tribute Car. They are so excited, they’re going to donate $40 to
@MichaelJFoxOrg
for every lap we run tomorrow! They’re also helping us out with some tires and a load of cold beer, thanks a bunch!
Dale yelled slide job twice at Kyle Larson on the final lap of Sunday’s race in his broadcast debut and it was pure emotion in one of the greatest races we’ve seen and it was so amazing
The last two years have meant so much to me and my family, and I owe
@Team_FRM
a great debt of gratitude. Finally, with my deepest appreciation, I want to thank you guys, my fans, for carrying my flag with your relentless passion.
Story Time🧵: Back in early 2020 I was hired by NASCAR on a top secret mission to drive the NextGen in the sim at Dallara. I had not driven the car IRL at that point, although it had been on the track several times.
You can imagine my surprise when I saw the rough draft test…
iRacing with my 5 year old son is a continuous loop of him hitting the wall and then yelling at me because he doesn’t know why the car won’t drive anymore. Now I know how crew chiefs feel.
Tried calling
@Blaney
to congratulate him on his win this weekend…
He didn’t answer so I hired some familiar faces on Cameo to 𝙐𝙉𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙇𝙔 help me congratulate him on his “marathon” instead.
1/2 Unfortunately, I won’t be driving the 10 car full time this year. However, my quest to win in NASCAR continues
Sponsorships drive my business, and my sponsors over the last two years have been through a lot. Rebuilding will be my top priority.
Beyond honored and humbled to have this opportunity. Thank you
@MattKaulig
and
@C_Rice1
for welcoming me into your family

900+ Horsepower Cup Cars! Just had to be there. These cars would take your breathe away!
This is why I will ask for more horsepower and will never stop asking.

Morgan Shepherd has been a special person to me and my family over the past couple years. We are keeping in touch and keeping him in our prayers as he battles Parkinson’s. I spoke to him this morning and he sounded great, and just wants to get to the track soon.
It was a boys weekend in Daytona and we grabbed a P4 (tiny stripe). Me and Beckham are Shirley Temples home to the girls in NC. Nice work
@SpireMotorsport
Top 20 at Bristol for
@StarcomRacing
is exciting and all, but the real story is that we did it on the same right side tires for the last 125 laps of the race because we ran out of tires in the pits. What a car!
I wish $15M of a cup team’s $20M annual budget was spent on the engines and we end up with loudest baddest coolest V8 1,000hp engines on the planet and people came from all over the world to listen to them in person
Chad K called me at like 6am and asked if I could drive up to North Wilkesboro and test a geometry package they wanted to validate for New Hampshire that weekend. I drove it, they validated it, Jimmie won
This is fair but realistically, if left alone, the tire that lasted 50 laps today will last 90 laps the next time they come because the teams and drivers will simply adapt and make the tire last longer themselves. Teams need to beg Goodyear not to change anything and see if this…
Goodyear's Greg Stucker says tire wear is 'too drastic.'
Says it's because rubber is not laying down and they need to understand why.
The only variable is resin instead of PJ1. Tire wear is good but this is too much Greg concedes.

Schrader gave me the finger at Martinsville for like 3 consecutive laps (I guess he drives one handed?) after I unnecessarily hit him several times but couldn’t pass him.
It had the feeling of a teacher being genuinely disappointed in you
Ross races hard and probably over stepped, sure. But I hope we’re not really planning to “fence guys hard”. Anybody who has driven the NextGen knows how hard these hits feel. Denny can do better.
Denny Hamlin said when he pays back Ross Chastain, it will be meaningful and when he least expects it, that you have to “fence these guys hard” to get their attention.
More of what Hamlin said about Chastain after Gateway:
NASCAR drivers are the most versatile professional racing drivers in the world. More surfaces, racing styles, track types, than any series.
F1 driver is a true specialist-focused on singular style of racing, while a modern Cup Series driver must be a jack of all trades. Discuss
On the weekend that
@AlexBowman88
wins his first NASCAR race my 4yo son drove his first go kart at the track I grew up at in Newton, IA. It hit me hard to think about what it takes for some to win one race. Think about everything Alex has been through, every fight he’s had to win

Aerial view of the teardown work taking place today in turns 1-2 at California Speedway. Wonder if they’ll actually build the 1/2 mile short track. The front stretch area where it’s supposed to go is still untouched by the demo… 🤞🏼
