As someone who enjoys both racing and sports statistics, I just wanted to spur some conversation about the downfall of Racing Reference since NASCAR took it over a few years back. As of 4:40 p.m. ET on Monday, the results from Sunday's Cup race and Saturday's NOAPS and ARCA West races STILL have not been added to the site.

R-R used to be an invaluable resource with timely updates and a place to have discussions about historic races. Now, it offers neither.

It's just disappointing.

It was held in Belgium on the circuit of Zolder. It was fantastic!

They’re doing a great job promoting their young driver, and I hope this partnership can keep up going forward.

I can’t even remember the shop it was in, but I believe it was close to her gallery of clothes.

Once again, I was extremely impressed by the way she ran on Saturday. Straight up caught the #18 and gapped him once she got around him. Truly unfortunate that funding is her issue and she can’t put together a full time program, because she’s more than deserving.

Yes, she was in good equipment, but it’s a testament to her ability that she was able run right around where, the other guys and gals in that car have. Doing that on a PT basis, isn’t easy at all. Hoping that a manufacturer or a team, takes a chance and invests into her. She got what it takes.

Went through the lap data after Sunday because this keeps happening.

Phoenix: started 23rd, was 6th at halfway, led 52 laps, finished 17th. He was out front when the late caution sent everyone to pit road, got caught speeding, and went to the back.

The season: 33 starts, zero wins, two runner-ups, laps led in 15 different races.

The part nobody's talking about: his teammate Reddick took two tires on that same stop and won. The booth said Bubba was coming out on four in about 8th or 9th even before the penalty. And the 23 ranked 8th in the field by the lap data, so leading 52 laps doesn't mean it was the best car.

Bubba himself: "I just can't seem to close the deal out."

So is it Bubba, or is the 23 getting the wrong calls while the 45 gets the right ones?

With 3 races left, how many Chase contenders are mathematically eliminated? Points are tight for the top 7 but curious on the others

I believe Bubba Wallace’s career is stuck somewhere around where Martin Truex was in 2012-2014 era. When you have a guy with race winning talent in lower series get promoted to Cup and then toy around with bad or mid teams for multiple years, they forget how to win and close out races, even if they have the speed and talent to consistently run upfront. The pressure gets to them. They make mistakes. Bubba had the 2-3 years at Roush Xfinity, then 3 years at RPM, and the few growing years at 23XI when they struggled with consistency and pit crews. Now for the last 2 years we have seen Bubba up front in contention for wins more often, but it’s always a mistake or sometimes bad luck that takes him out. I don’t think the call to take 4 tires did him any favors with the pit road speeding. Nor did getting walled by Denny last year at Kansas, losing a wheel at San Diego, etc etc etc. I think 23XI would do wonders getting Bubba in O’Reilly or trucks in multiple races a year to get him used to the pressure of closing out wins and get him the confidence he had back in his KBM days. I don’t see any reason why he can’t win multiple races a year on talent and speed given what he has shown these last couple seasons if they iron out these end of race woes.

It's showing the next race up is for all three series is Pheonix. Also, when Brad K was in the top 16, it was showing that he had 18 top 10 finishes on the season. Still a great channel overall, just find some of the inaccurate information funny

It's a pretty spartan, wild looking track with a short, deadly history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxRTlR_Dkj8

The three-week fight to Homestead-Miami is on.
