Yes, I do believe green is a bad luck color on a race car. My 69 GP dirt car was white when I got it from the wrecking yard. They painted the door jambs and did a good job of color changing it. I was so damn mad when I started tearing it down and found out it was originally a Verdoro green car. In 3 years I only won 1 race with that car and blew too many engines to count. Compared to my 67 GTO in my signature that I won 13 races within 2 years.

I've owned other green street cars that were also incredibly unlucky, I will never buy one any longer, no matter how good a deal it is. NO more green cars in my driveway.
I started to say "...it seemed to work out ok for Jimmy Clark..." and then I decided maybe not.

NASCAR is not about racing, it's entertainment and money. If she continues to bring in money from sponsors and merchandise, she will have a place in motorsports entertainment.

Absolutely spot on.
Used to be a race might be entertaining, might not, it's racing and you never knew how one would unfold.
Now, it's got to be entertaining no matter what it does to the racing.

Wanna watch some real racing? Watch the IMSA/Tudor series.

France also noted the lack of breaks in NASCAR events.

“We’re also the only sport that has non-stop action,” France said. “(Aside from) cautions, we don’t have timeouts and big lulls in that respect. It is non-stop.
BS on that. From races with 10-15+ cautions, extended clean ups, Phantom debris, it's all big lulls with a little bit of action.
He's clueless.
