This sounds fairly interesting

Winston-Salem, NC-- Winston-Salem's Bowman Gray Stadium is going to be spot lighted on national cable television, thanks to the History Channel. "Madhouse," a 60-minute weekly series will follow the personal lives and race-day highs and lows of drivers during the 2009 racing season.

Haven't been to Bowman Gray Stadium in a while, but the racing is usually pretty interesting. Fwiw, this is the first reality show that I know of based in NC.

BTW, a bit of trivia here. Most people know were Richard Petty won race number 200 (Dayton). But he won his 100th race at Bowman Gray stadium.

Was he in a super modified like these cars in the show? I work with a bunch of guys that know Junior, the Myers, Tim Brown (they all hate TB). Fun show.

Richard was driving a Ford Gran Torino. It was a Grand National race (forerunner to Winston/Sprint Cup). Bowman Gray use to be a stop on the ckt, before they went to more and more superspeedways.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
