Via @NWCS_Standings over on the bad site, here are the final 2025 NASCAR Cup Series standings if they'd been scored under the pre-2004 points system. Christopher Bell (who was not even in the final 4) would be your 2025 champion.

Just a little context in case anyone watching the race starts to forget what happened yesterday.

This is what the points standings would be going into this race under the old Winston Cup system. Via @NWCS_Standings on the bad site.

Reminder that the playoffs are still a clown ass format.
What the current NASCAR Cup Series points standings would be under the pre-chase points format.

CLOWN. ASS. FORMAT.
NASCAR Xfinity points standings showing Jesse Love as champion with 2 wins and Connor Zilisch in 2nd with 10 wins because NASCAR has its head up its ass.

Jordan Wood's platform ain't bad and he's raised nearly as much as Platner per the FEC website.

I don't know shit about him beyond his website, please correct me if it turns out he's a kid-diddler or some shit.

Looking for a track layout, what the hell is this search result? What do PLMs have to do with this race?
Google image search result from "Pro Football Network" of some CRA JEGS Tour Pro Late Models. Caption reads "NASCAR Set for California Return in 2026 As Major Comeback Deal Awaits Announcement". What the hell is this result?

This fucking piece of shit is celebrating killing his own voters. Fuck Addison McDowell. #NC06 #ncpol

A "tele-townhall" that he told NOBODY about. Sure. #NC06 #ncpol
Rep. Addison McDowell (NC-06) pretends to speak with a constituent while avoiding his real constituents.

Really curious. I made a post on the bad place 11 years ago about Dodge Vipers, and in the past two months or so I've had dozens of bot accounts "like" it. What is it about this post in particular that's drawing in the algorithm?

Called my rep, Addison McDowell (NC-06), to ask what he was doing about Elon Musk's illegal takeover of the Federal government. This was his response. He's supportive of this violation of the Constitution and has willingly surrendered his responsibility as a member of Congress. Unacceptable. #ncpol
Dear Mr. Hazen, Thank you for taking the time to share your opposition to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. As your voice in Washington, it is my responsibility to represent the citizens of North Carolina's Sixth District, and I truly appreciate your input. President Trump was elected to enact a bold agenda to reform our government and reign in the bloated federal bureaucracy. Like presidents before him, President Trump is entitled to work with the advisers and administrators he chooses to help guide his administration. Elon Musk is an American citizen and one the foremost innovators in our country's history. He is one of many competent and hardworking individuals that will make this administration a sharp contrast from the past four years. President Trump has my full support cutting waste and delivering on the mandate given to him by the American people. Democrats and the media have attempted to obstruct government reform by sowing panic over every proposed budget cut or staff reduction. They would have you believe that our roughly $6,200,000,000,000 budget is a marvel of perfect efficiency, and that to even cut a single dollar could ruin our country. This is obvious nonsense, and I am glad that the Trump administration is pushing ahead with their efforts. As your elected Representative, I will work to root out government inefficiency anywhere and everywhere I can. Sincerely, Rep. Addison McDowell Member of Congress
