That's cool. He finished 3rd in his most recent ARCA start last year at Kansas so he should contend nicely in that JGR car.

Ross Kenseth running with JGR in the stand-alone Nationwide race at Chicagoland... huh. As obvious as the connection is, I'm somewhat surprised about that one!


I am glad Ross Kenseth is getting this opportunity. He has amassed a very impressive resume in late model stock cars. He deserves this shot.

I could also see it just going out completely a few times until they get it all figured out. Guys are always having electrical problems.


My first though exactly, I'm pretty sure a classic one is very reliable.

"Keep it under 65 hundreds, in second gear." "Yeah I wish I could".

But maybe the bigger color contrast is worth a try. Otherwise, if it ain't broken don't fix it.

Won't visibility be shit when the screen is under direct sunlight? Happens more often than you'd think when the sun is low.

Great News. So do Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney.

Dave Blaney's a nobody and Ryan got there like Brad K: on merit. He's a great little driver and shows potential. Chase got there from being in the right place at the right time: a flawed point system, a great last name, and an owner running sure shot over an entire series.

Don't forget about Darlington. Very few veteran drivers could have done what he did let alone a high school student. :wave:

Damnit. I knew things were bad but I was under the impression there was still hope.

His last tweet, a day ago, in response to a fan was "I went the distance."

Dammit that's sad (and hopeful, I suppose).

Ugh.. I had a bad feeling when they did the race sponsor in support of him.. but I was hoping he'd pull through.

RIP. :(

I was hoping for the best, but knew there was a good chance we would lose Steve sometime soon. That doesn't make me feel any less sad right now though. :(

Gah, Steve was one of the good ones. He was great at what he did, he loved what he did, and you could tell. He fought like hell at the end, too.

As I was saying to Gael, as sad as it is to lose him, we at least had a helluva tribute to the guy before he passed.

RIP

One of those few guys you feel are genuinely good without even meeting them.

Ugh, such a heartbreak. Dude battled till the very end. Such a professional he was. Sad to see it end this way. Thought's and prayers with the entire Byrnes family. RIP Steve :(

Really bummed Steve was great. From his Sterling Marlin impersonations to loosing his cool anytime Jimmy Spemcer broke out the crying towel. I knew he was in bad shape, glad the NASCAR family gave him such a warm send off. Feel like they knew.
