Before this weekend, I’d never seen SVG or Zilisch win in-person.
…
What an efficient weekend, dudes! 😀👍

I often agree with Dale (and disagree with Travis) but I find this argument flawed.
The concept of advancing position includes the entirety of the pass, not just when your car’s nose inches ahead.
Arguing over the semantics of that concept comes across as disengenuous to me.
Things got a little heated debating the double yellow line rule. Do you agree with Dale or TJ? 😬

10 months after Adam was made commissioner he wrote this NYT op-ed:
The NBA is formally stepping into the prediction markets ecosystem.
The league announced agreements Monday morning with Kalshi and Polymarket that will allow the companies to use official league data and intellectual property and give the league control over what trades the companies are allowed to offer.

Hell, the yellow line stays put. So should the rules. Shouldn’t take a damn podcast to explain how you’re calling a race 🤯 🤨
A new episode of "Hauler Talk" has just dropped. A few takeaways:
-- NASCAR is saying that to get penalized for going below the double yellow line, a car must have the whole tire down there AND improve the position AND not be forced down there. So three things.
-- In Kyle Larson's case, he didn't go below the yellow line (was on it), so it's a moot point.
-- Austin Hill would likely have been black-flagged if he hadn't already finished as the last car on the lead lap. He was not forced below the line by Larson in Turn 2, NASCAR felt; Hill went down there himself AND improved his position. But they didn't call anything because the penalty would have put him right where he was.
-- Ross Chastain and Carson Hocevar went below the line but were not penalized because they were forced below the line by Todd Gilliland, NASCAR felt.
-- NASCAR looked at penalizing Gilliland but it was inconclusive whether he forced them down there on purpose, so they didn't make a call (but they could have and it was close, apparently).

My initial thoughts: this is a completely different explanation of the double-yellow line rule than what we were offered after the Daytona night race a couple of months ago.
Next: Two people weren’t penalized for going below the yellow line on the final lap, because it was determined they were forced. However, the person who forced them wasn’t penalized because it couldn’t be proven there was intent to force them below the line? …
Alrighty. That’s certainly a lot of somethings.

I have long maintained that this is the single funniest thing I've ever seen. Still is.

I don’t get the pacing of this at all. There’s an incessant amount of telling, not showing, while they show us stuff that… doesn’t matter?
I don’t get what the purpose of this series is at this point other than peanuts and circus before Doomsday.

Jeff im dying to know. Since when does “intent” matter? I specifically remember NSC saying intent doesn’t matter in these situations. Well, until now

My goodness. This is horrible officiating or horrible comms. I think it might be both.

Sorry Dale Jr, but saying this with that vest on is a little too on the nose…

If saying no to saving fuel at Talladega was a crime…

We humans are going to have to decide whether jobs exist simply to accomplish tasks or if employment as a social technology is worth preserving to maintain social order. Because companies are making decisions with heavy social consequences based on their own economic incentives.
Rumors that chili maker Lao Gan Ma laid off 500+ workers due to AI have gone viral in China.
Beneath Beijing’s positive messaging, many ordinary Chinese people are worried about AI and jobs.
Lao Gan Ma recently touted a new AI-powered chili inspection system that uses high-speed industrial cameras that significantly outperform manual inspection.
A stat about the company using this AI system to reduce human inspectors from 600 to 48 went viral on Chinese social media. The iconic, family-run company pushed back.
But if you look at the data, the company has reduced headcount from 2,912 to 740 in the past few years while earning record revenues.
