    "Malcolm, get off that truck!" scream Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek.

    Seen too many people killed in this sport for this horseshit. If NASCAR ever sacked up, Conner Jones would be out of a job rather than a two-lap "rough driving" penalty. These are not weapons, dipstick.

    I lost what little respect I had for Carl Edwards when he tried to send Brad Keselowski through the fence at Atlanta. I never had much for Earnhardt, other than his incredible driving talent, but he at least was smart enough to turn someone at relatively low speed and away from the wall.

    The fact that Jones didn't get flattened by a Mills' crew guy in the garage area might be the most surprising thing about this story.

    Stuff like this is just more examples of young, trust fund drivers behind the wheel of bullet proof cars. They think it's a video game.

    Dumb ass is 18 and his PR rep apparently -- or rich father -- made him post something on X well after the fact. Part-timer with no-talent skills. Helmet full of money but nothing between the ears.

    ThorSport and Niece are basically one and the same. "We don't care if you're good as long as the check clears."

    Not only does he have zero top-10s in his 17 Truck starts, I can't even find anything on his Wiki page showing he's ever won a stock car race above Bandoleros. He couldn't even crack the season top 10 running weekly Late Models at Hickory and Dominion. Good God, Loy Allen Jr. at least had some ARCA success before he climbed in way over his head.

    It just shows how little NASCAR really cares about safety when they don't even have a mandatory experience requirement for these guys.

    Yeah, it's a good thing I already subscribe because otherwise I'd have to beg Netflix to shut up and take my money Fly-style.
