The worst in the content game are not those w/ outlandish takes or fringe political videos. It’s those who post other people’s work as their own. No credit. No commentary. Just lazy thievery. If you think I could be talking about you, I absolutely am.

Just my opinion, but the Carl Edwards episode of The @DaleJr Download already counts as one of the greatest Downloads of all-time. I put it up there with Schrader. It may be better.

📅 April 6, 2023 – 12:49 AM
Unless the appeals panel discloses details, I know no other way to rationalize this than to say brand privilege is a thing. The Hendrick brand must invoke an instinctual human response, action, feeling, influence, respect, something… that the Kaulig brand does not.
Mike Davis criticizes the perceived inconsistency in NASCAR’s appeals decisions, suggesting that Hendrick Motorsports benefited from “brand privilege” when their penalty was overturned, while Kaulig Racing’s points reduction was minor for the same violation. His tweet adds to debates over transparency and favoritism in enforcement.

📅 Mar 15, 2023 – 6:57 PM

Mike Davis calls out NASCAR for punishing drivers like Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain while relying on their rivalries for entertainment. Hamlin was fined in 2023 after admitting on his podcast that he intentionally affected a race involving Chastain, even though NASCAR initially allowed the on-track contact. This highlights NASCAR’s unclear rules about aggressive racing versus manipulation, especially after its 2024 rulebook officially banned race manipulation. Davis’s tweet reflects fan frustration with NASCAR’s inconsistent approach to balancing drama and fairness.
