Telling Dale Earnhardt tales on what would’ve been his 74th birthday
The blokes begin with a traditional Dale Earnhardt story. Then, they discuss NASCAR’s Xfinity and Cup Sequence races at Talladega earlier than pivoting to Texas.
Sounds bizarre, but it surely’s true.
NASCAR is rolling away from its largest observe, Talladega, to go quicker at a observe over 40% smaller.
Texas Motor Speedway is host this weekend to NASCAR’s Huge Three — Cup, Xfinity and Vans — Friday by way of Sunday.

Sunday, you may as properly name it Fort Würth. The German firm was as soon as identified for promoting fasteners, screws and whatnot, however has since expanded into a variety of kit. The corporate has been a companion of Roger Penske’s race crew since 2012, and just lately bought into the race-entitlement enterprise.
For what it is price, the Truck Sequence race sponsor, SpeedyCash, is fairly self-explanatory. And this weekend’s Xfinity Sequence race benefactor, Andy’s Frozen Custard, is a sequence of franchises in 15 states.
Amongst Andy’s limited-time specialties as of late is one thing known as Lemon Bar Concrete, a giant cup of custard described as a “good mix of tangy and candy.”
You understand the kind.
