I wasn’t aware NASCAR was still a thing. Does Tom Petty still race?

I met Ricky Stenhouse Jr. the other night. He came in to the club where I work with his crew. Really nice (and appropriately buzzed) young man. Hope he wins.

He was screwing Danica Patrick for a while until she took up with Aaron Rogers, so he gets karma points from me.

NASCAR star Hailie Deegan poses with Trump at Daytona 500

When 18-year-old NASCAR star Hailie Deegan heard that President Donald Trump was going to attend the Daytona 500, she went on a quest to get Trump to sign her helmet. It was a quest that only the president’s son could facilitate.

Ahead of the big race, Deegan jumped to Twitter to let fans know that she was in the hunt for the president’s autograph. Hailie Deegan

✔ @HailieDeegan Today’s goal. Get my helmet signed by Trump https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1228810073171951621 … Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Remember, will be at Daytona 500 tomorrow!

Amusingly, Don Trump, Jr., saw the tweet and made one of his own:

Donald Trump Jr. ✔ @DonaldJTrumpJr DM me... I may know someone. https://twitter.com/hailiedeegan/status/1229034203335086080 … Hailie Deegan ✔ @HailieDeegan Today’s goal. Get my helmet signed by Trump https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1228810073171951621

Sure enough, on Sunday, Don Trump, Jr., proved he is a man of his word and posted a photo of Deegan happily displaying her signed helmet.

“Promises Made… Promises Kept! Great to meet you [Hailie Deegan],” Trump, Jr., posted.

Deegan was not scheduled to race on Sunday, but she has become a rising star in the racing circuit, having made her debut this month, finishing second to Michael Self in the Feb. 8 ARCA Series

Haven't watched a NASCAR race in years. Now I know why. What a mess.... nobody can run a clean race without bumping someone out of the way, a Toyota just won the Great American race, half the drivers don't seem like they are qualified to be in the race ......

Yep dead center on the drivers side A pillar. Not good. Soon as it happened I had flashbacks of 2001 all over again the way the crowd was somber and the other drivers were shook up.

Prayers for Ryan Newman.

Hope Newman is okay. NASCAR really has to do something about the last 10 laps often taking as long to run as the first 100.

**** the race


A stretcher is next to Newman’s car. Crews are using black screens to keep fans from seeing. And media has just been told to leave the pits.

Joe Gibbs issues an apology for the Denny Hamlin team celebrating winning the #Daytona500 after the Ryan Newman wreck. Says they did not see the severity of it and are praying for him. Somber.
