I love Jack Roush with all my heart. I stayed with him 19 years because he gave me a chance when no one else would. We missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a picture together celebrating a 24 year old car and winning moment.

Watching these guys spin out trying to qualify is what driving in @NASCAR is all about 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Cup cars should be the one of the hardest cars to drive in motorsports. As a driver if you want to succeed in Cup you better pack your lunch.

Love him or hate him we are all lucky to have @KyleBusch in our sport. He drives more fan passion in our sport than anyone I can think of since Dale Earnhardt. I believe he is great for @NASCAR I hope he never changes.
Kyle Busch channeled his inner @MoneyLynch after a frustrating day at Las Vegas. NASCAR #RaceHub will have more at 6p ET on FS1.

The most fun I ever had restrictor plate racing was tandem. It’s a shame that a group of people complained about it so much that @NASCAR had to do away with it. The fans want to see passing and tandem produced the most opportunity I’ve ever experienced for passing. It was fun.

Welcome to the 6 @RossChastain.
No one could ever take the place of Ryan Newman on the track, and I can’t wait to have him back. As we continue to pray for a full and speedy recovery, I’ll do my best to make him and everyone at Roush Fenway Racing proud. #RocketMan.

All this talk about the mile and a half track package being the fan interest problem. Did you notice that Bristol was about 1/2 full. Racing doesn’t get much better than Bristol folks. If you can’t pack that place then it’s not the on track product.

In my opinion we saw two of the most talented drivers I’ve seen in a long time @KyleLarsonRacin @KyleBusch driving cars with excessive power and poor handling put on a show. Do. Not. Put. Restrictor. Plates. On. Those. Cars. And didn’t make them easy to drive.

That’s the hose I ran from the A post to my balls. It attached to the seat between my legs. I ran this every race until I retired.
@markmartin I thought I heard somewhere you used a ball chiller hose from the Naca duct. Don’t see the small hose inlet on the car in the pic. A Viagra car post seemed the best time to ask😂

In 1990 my car made 0 front downforce. No downforce, no lift. It made around 275 pounds of rear downforce. It was similar to our completions numbers and we could run in the top 5 every week. There was absolutely no aero tight ever. You would get a little loose with someone close.

What about just whipping their ass 👊🏼 I’m a little old fashioned I guess.
All I’m really trying to say is, if someone makes the decision to end your day, you should be able to return the favor. Otherwise the drivers will feel like they can get away with driving a certain way they shouldn’t be able to.
