Again it’s like the roof flaps malfunctioned again. Unbelievable I’ve never seen that happen twice in one weekend at a 1.5 mile track. What a wild weekend

17/08/2024

This has to be one of the oddest flips I have seen in quite some time. It’s honestly like the roof flaps on the 28 of Kyle Seig completely malfunctioned. They didn’t deploy at all until after the flip. The Roof Flaps not coming up caused the 28 to get airborne and land on its roof and then proceeded to slam the wall very hard. It flipped over 2 times then landed back on its wheels. Kyle Seig was able to walk away from it and race another day. He also has been checked and released from the Infield Care Center.

According to Adam stern. RFK Racing is being tipped as the likely landing spot next year for Kroger. Per people familiar, a pickup would represent a major commercial boost for the team co owned by Fenway Sports Group. But I’m wondering does this mean that Brad Doughty buys a stake in the team. Does the 47 become the third entry for RFK.

The Lightning ⚡️ Penalty Report: NASCAR has made its verdict. Austin Dillon keeps his win but it doesn’t count towards the chase. He has also been docked 25 drivers points in addition to that. His Spotter Brendan Benesch has been suspended for the next three races. Joey Logano has been fined 50,000 Thousand dollars for his burnout on pit road. It was the right call 📱. I have had sometime to think about it. NASCAR made the right decision here.

13/08/2024

I’m very mixed about the outcome of this race. First off Ricky Wreckhouse strikes again. Austin Dillon should have won that race! If NASCAR didn’t throw the caution Austin Dillon would not have made the boneheaded decision to wreck Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin. Other than the stupid finish. This was the best short track race I have seen in a long time. The Option and Prime tires make for some interesting strategy decisions. Richmond actually set a record for the most leaders during a short track race. The race had several lead changes as well. With that being said this race was a great race. There is still a few things they need to fix. But In this case the tires held together well. So I’m giving this race seven Lightning ⚡️ Bolts ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Okay here’s some silly season predictions from me. Hass Factory Team: #00 Hailee Deegan, #98 Ryan Preece. Joe Gibbs Racing: #18 William Sawlich, #19 Tanner Gray, #81 Chandler Smith. Kaulig Racing 10 Christian Eckes, #11 Derek Kraus, #16 AJ Allmendinger, #13 Josh Williams. Tricon Garage: #1 Toni Breidinger, #5 Dean Thompson, #17 Tanner Gray. BMR: #19 Andres Perez, #18 Tyler Ankrum, #43 Daniel Dye. Niece Motorsports #41 Bayley Curry, #42 Matt Mills, #44 Kaden Honeycutt. Rookies #19 Andres Perez, #45 Kaden Honeycutt and #1 Toni Breidinger. Xfinty: #18 William Sawlich, #19 Tanner Gray, #11 Derek Kraus, #88 Conor Zilisch. Cup: #35 Sam Meyer, #67 Riley Herbst, #7 Sammy Smith. #97 SVG. Rookies in Cup #35 Sam Meyer, #7 Sammy Smith, #97 SVG and #67 Riley Herbst. Also I think Crafton races one more season before retiring. The 88 then goes to Christian Rose

According to her mom she is in a lot of pain. She has chest pain. A pneumothorax in her lungs. A ripped Jaw and tongue, Very Sore neck and body. Her mother is hoping that they don’t have to insert a chest tube to help her breathe. She is currently stable at a hospital in Knoxville right now. She was going to be admitted to a hospital in Des Moines for more treatment but they were full. The hospital in Knoxville is currently monitoring her with X Rays and CT scans.

So apparently I’m not allowed to make goals for myself as a journalist. Two days ago I made a post about the state of NASCAR Diecast. People thought I was actually being serious 🧐. There’s nothing wrong with a random thought that you have. Even if it seems unreasonable. People actually thought it was serious 🧐 and then made a big deal about it. Sometimes people dream 😴 about odd things. The NASCAR Diecast thing was actually a dream 😴. Dreams can come true

I’m excited for NASCAR to come back

Thanks Facebook for showing this to me two days later. Eric Estepp is the reason why I decided to go into NASCAR Journalism.

Dawson Cram would’ve ran this paint scheme with JD Motorsports had the team not filed for bankruptcy recently. Where this would’ve ran, I’m not sure. But that’s Eric Estepp’s logo on the hood.

Okay so the name of the Diecast line would be Lightning ⚡️ Collectibles Illustrated Inc. We would be able to make custom Designs for fans and YouTubers would have their own exclusive line with us. We would also get the Rights to NASCAR Diecast Collectibles. No Diecast will ever be DNP. 3 different Diecast products will be making its triumphant return. Brookfield Collectibles Gil which feature all three Trucks 🛻 with a pull down attached to the back. 1/64 would have an Exclusive Collectible Edition with Opening hood and trunk. If you pay for a RCCA Elite membership you are a customer for life. Also once you pass away your kids inherit your membership. Also Winners Circle would introduce something unique. A 3D version of each victory lane would be included. A 5x7 photograph of your favorite driver celebrating in victory lane would be included. You can choose to frame 🖼️ your picture. Also Winners Circle 1/24s would comeback. The 1/24 In Elite and ARC would have fabricated window nets. The 1/64 Elite version would feature a Pull Down Window net, Opening Hood, Roof Flaps and Hood Flaps. Also an opening trunk.

Something else I’m thinking about doing in the future is creating a line of Diecast that has ties to the team directly or each individual driver. Therefore forcing Lionel’s hand. It’s becoming worse and worse every year with DNP. With 75 percent of the 1:64’s making DNP. This is not great for our young fans who want to cheer on their favorite driver. If NASCAR Illustrated came back this would be the only advertisement it had in it. It would have four pages 📄 of NASCAR Diecast that you can order. You could also request a special Catalog. RCCA Elite Members would remain with their Membership forever and not get dropped. I would also make deals with other companies like Hot Wheels or MatchBox. Also you would see other Diecast companies coming back like Racing Champions. We would also buy the rights to the Winners Circle brand. Every single Diecast would be proudly made in America 🇺🇸. This will give people jobs.

Lightning ⚡️ Illustrated will make its debut in 2025. I want to get some stuff done over the Fall and Winter seasons to get a studio setup. This will be in my bedroom with Three Ikea Alex Units. Also a few other stuff that I want to do. I plan on repainting in the Fall. I’m then going to focus more on the Bedroom/Studio aspect over the winter ❄️. My goal is to have the Series Debut January 31st,2025. My current computer 💻 is holding me back. Also having lousy internet 🛜 connection issues. I’m hoping by spring I’ll be able to get rid of it. The podcast is my dream job and I want to do it right.

Okay Rant Incoming! I’m old enough to remember Juan Pablo Montoya for his Racing accomplishments. He had no control over his race car 🏎️, Something broke on his car. Juan Montoya is a Champ Car Series Champion and Indy 500 winner 🥇. But the people remember him most for hitting the jet dryer. This guy can win in anything and he is a once in a generation talent. He had the most success during the Indy Car NASCAR Invasion. He has won at Watkins Glen and in Wine 🍷 Country! The fact that people remember him for an unfortunate accident that he had no control over.
