I am a huge Kevin Harvick fan. I used to be a huge RCR fan. But damn dude NASCAR will never be what it used to be. It sold out to the highest bidder. It's no longer a southern based sport and the Nascar families no longer are there. A part of that may have to do with some of the younger guys in the families passing away but it's still effected the product. The ASR is awful. The races are awful for the most part, the coverage stinks, and NASCAR has no business being out in Michigan/California/etc. The tailgates are now the main selling point of nascar for people like me who aren't gearheads.

I'm a Dale Jr. fan who would love NASCAR a lot more if they'd let him win one race a year haha. He came close all the damn time last year.

Have always thought the fix was in on this sport and never liked how they just made rules up as they went along. Any legitimate sport would have retired the number 3 along time ago. The I heard this dude was getting the #3, was the grandson of the most influential individual in racing ooutside of the CEO and he has the pole for the Daytona. This made me think for sure something was rotten in Denmark.

Now I see his helmet and I want to be a fan of his but I'm conflicted by everything else. Love the helmet though.

i hope dale jr puts his silver spoon fed ass in the wall coming to the checkered flag on sunday... austin dillon acts like hes the second coming of the intimidator but kevin harvick put his ass in check in the truck series at martinsville. i cant stand the fact that the 3 is on the track without dale jr in it and yes i get the fact that RCR owns the number...

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
