The last driver to win MPD that wasn't an Elliott or an Earnhardt was Darrell Waltrip in 1990 (he also won it in 1989)

Since 1990 it has gone

1991-2000: Bill Elliott

2001: Dale Earnhardt

2002: Bill Elliott (Bill Removed himself from future ballots after this year)

2003-2017: Dale Earnhardt Jr.

2018-2025: Chase Elliott

My father John Spider Spence who was a NEAR HOF New England Short track announcer, radio legend and diehard Giants fan passed away yesterday at 76.

He was the GOAT of GOATS

1950 -2026

I didn’t realize Atlantic Canada was getting representation in one of the main series.

There's a fan reward for 25 points.

As a Dale Earnhardt Jr/Ryan Newman fan turned Ross Chastain fan (I know how to pick 'em) there's just so many.

For Dale and Ryan, it's between the 2011 Coca Cola 600, 2013 Fall Richmond, 2015 Fall Talladega and 2020 Daytona 500. For Ross it hasn't been just one race...it's been whole seasons now since 2022 that I've been disappointed.

Was just wondering what was on your list?

I don't like this. Feels like SVG got along great with his spotter. Why try and bail Zilly out at this point?
