Guy following Congress two decades ago and understanding that the legislature at least functioned slightly better when you could trade a vote for something stupid in your hometown that all totaled a rounding error in the budget

BORING: The Indy race being longer is bad SCORING: That specific Indy race only needing two yellows to get bumped off network to the FOX Nation app actually rules WORLD-TOURING: 147 laps, 12 laps, a billion laps, who cares, I'll be at Meijer buying groceries, see you in West Allis

I wouldn't have made any of those trades if I were the Red Sox. The roster was already perfect, as demonstrated by the team's recent record. I also think the players should only wear normal colors like gray and white, and every game should be carried nationally on PBS. Lots that org's getting wrong.

Looks like all people who don't like the Dodgers have to be nice to me because I wore my Red Sox Hat I Wear To Do Yardwork to do yardwork today. No honors or awards, please—complex ethics rules apply to me.

Went to the store. A guy was asking AI voicechat what he could make with everything he was considering buying. This meant he'd stand blocking whatever it was while his lil imaginary buddy boiled Lake Michigan to tell his 48-year-old ass that red sauce goes on pasta. I can't believe I saw one irl.

The Porsche 963 Kyffin Simpson and Álex Palou Tribute Liveries just go to show you: Roger Penske may be "The Captain," but he's just navigating Chip Ganassi's globe. My latest available now on CGR Media.

Every year is the year I say I'll go to IMSA at Road America next year. I'm a regular old "February media day update with Mark 'Mr. Deals' Miles" on this. I personally blame climate change. Wisconsin already lost fall and spring, and now summer is oppressively humid. It is on IMSA to solve this.

Oh, no, I am about to get way too invested in NASCAR Brasil for three months like I did with NASCAR Mexico in 2014, all because one oval is shaped weird.

A sign that ndyCar has seen your complaints about being off on a weekend with no racing on actual television (Peacock and RACER don't count), and minimal sports in general, and will be doing a little August Fontana. You may say, "Fontana doesn't exist," but none of us thought the IR-28 did, either.

PSA: The last 45 laps of 2015 Fontana is streaming on IndyCar's YouTube channel right now.

I have voted in the August 11th primary. You might see this election discussed across national media outlets: NYT, NBC, FOX News, you name it, they've noticed it in recent days. Well, I voted in it, so all that coverage? It's in some ways about me, and I really do appreciate being recognized.

Reporting the entire r/NASCAR community to THE MODS for talking about the new Timberland PRO NASCAR partnership with a pic of Bowyer's car, and a reference to Little Bobby, but no credit given to Brett Bodine, the first driver in NASCAR who didn't race barefoot—a key reason he was hired into R&D.

Big week for me: got appointed to probably the most important faculty committee at my institution where I've worked for two months, (according to my wife) was at my best on TV today, and received official recognition from a band that last performed for the public in 1988 as "a kind person"

I have long looked at the U.S. media landscape and said, "No one is telling Chip Ganassi's story. There's just not enough Chip Ganassi in print or on TV. I want to learn about Chip Ganassi through the crafting of compelling digital content."

We're all watching those IMSA Classics in the background, totally not distracted by Jim Dickelman and Mr. Pig

Those Porsche 963 liveries are being used at Road America? I guess I have to go.

I have looked at and read about the new IndyCar. It doesn't move me; it doesn't offend me. But let's be real: you can't evaluate a car without driving it. So, I'll just need them to let me do a few laps to see what I think.

Pretty incredible scenes from downtown Indianapolis after Corey Heim's win. Taken at the JW Marriott.

Marty Snider going full Ted Kravitz and suggesting it was a super genius side draft move instead of an impulsive 23-year-old doing whatever that was made me laugh and clap like the booth did for the move itself

Wait, there's a Team Losi car in this race? Oh, man. That is catering to the "remembering some Indy 500 entries" crowd.

The Dulcolax on-board camera sounds like something much worse than it is

NASCAR owning IMSA, but NASCAR Images putting the F1 race in the IMS history pictures and not the disaster Grand-Am race that made Peter Baron go on the computer and say he was selling all his equipment is just goofy. That's silly. That was a big day. GT cars passing DPs. (Also, poor MotoGP).

Steve Letarte calling Carson Hocevar "Ziegler" has big Tim Apple energy, and I kind of like it, actually.

Everyone knows I am not a Carson Hocevar guy, but the forum moderator energy of no burnouts on the bricks probably warrants Carson Hocevar winning and doing something incredibly Cleetus-coded to celebrate.

"I was texting Ryan Blaney. We socialize. My friend, Ryan Blaney, goes places with me, and we text," was a great contribution to the broadcast. Hope we get more of this throughout the day.

I think the Brickyard 400 is a great event, and I think it's really silly that NASCAR went out of its way to kill it with ridiculous ideas (despite it being the most watched race on cable every single year, IIRC) because the attendance issues all tracks were having just kind of looked worse there.

Wow, mearn is producing the 2018 Indianapolis 500 telecast today, and there's an issue!

WHY DO I HEAR ALAN BESTWICK IN THE BACKGROUND OCCASIONALLY BUT MARTY SMITH ALL THE TIME

Lance Stroll in P13, ahead of Fernando Alonso, is for me what the PEERless Dulcinea Johanna Long was to David Smith or Josh Bilicki is to Jeff Gluck.

If I'm Chip Ganassi, I'm offering the #9 to Oscar Piastri while he's going to be most receptive to ruining Zak Brown's biggest dream of all. And if I'm Oscar Piastri, I'm saying, "Wow, Chip Ganassi, the world's richest millionaire? The oaf I've seen on TV? Sign me up for a unit or two of that."

"GP is not his doctor" did Martin Brundle just do a shit report on real TV

I like that F1 uses four asterisks no matter what the dumped word is. Every time Oscar Piastri says "fucking," it looks like he said "piss," and being an incredibly intelligent adult, it is very funny to insert the word "piss" into those sentences where "fucking" ought to be.
