Yeah, Chase is a walking floor board, charisma wise.

I second what Messy affirmed - on Junior's podcast we can get a better grasp on personalities and only drivers but crew chiefs, spotters, sponsors, mechanics etc. Pretty cool.

There are much more dudes in Nascar that I dislike compared to any other series right now - Chastain, Briscoe, Custer, Byron, Gibbs, Dillon, Burton, Bubba ( after Las Vegas ) and a LOT of them that I find just lacking on all fronts. 

Not too psyched for the future with that but I have dudes like Bowman, Reddick, Blaney, Bell, Gragson to look forward to witnessing them grow.

 

 

And as of this week the podcast helped us know which aliens are friendly and which are not.

It's a reference to Scott Bloomquist, a very interesting character who was just interviewed on that podcast and mentioned, among other things, aliens and a stash of cocaine that definitely wasn't his.

It was a niche reference, no denying.

Neither time was his.

Jeff Gordon is the honoree at next spring's Amelia Concours.  If you've never been, you should reward yourself.

I got to see Scott Bloomquist in his last California late model start before he headed east (1983). I'd read quite a bit about this young driver and was curious about him. The race was at Baylands in Fremont, and he finished 3rd in the race.

 

His father was a pilot for Air California, which I also recall.

This is from the Gala. My God, Kevin Harvick looks like my grandfather did in his early 60s in that grey suit (at 0:05)...  :eek:

Looks like Dasher & Dancer are running a low down-force setting
