NASCAR star compared to Trump, tells nasty fans to quit 'b----in,' while race wife dusts off her Daisy Dukes

Monday Morning Pit-Stop is a weekly NASCAR column that runs on OutKick.com and Fox News Digital.

If you're looking for a normal NASCAR recap, go check out insufferable ESPN ... assuming they still know NASCAR exists.

Felt good to be back under the lights at Richmond, didn't it? It hasn't been the best summer for NASCAR , if you ask me.

There's been some good, but, generally, it's just been sort of blah .

That's not unusual, of course.

I've seen this movie before.

Nothing epitomizes 'Dog Days of Summer' quite like NASCAR.

It's a grind.

There's one off week, the playoffs (Chase, whatever) are forever away, and the tracks aren't great.

At least back in the day, we used to get Daytona in July and Bristol in August to break it up a bit! Now, we basically have to pray the Atlanta race is good, or the rest of the summer is cooked.

HAS NASCAR LOST THE SOUTH? EX-DRIVER UNLOADS AFTER SEEING "100,000 EMPTY SEATS" Anyway, all that to say ....

Richmond was decent! Not the best race you've ever seen, but better than a lot of what we've seen the past few months.

I still think NASCAR has killed the short track racing with this new car, but I don't feel like beating a dead horse today.

I don't have the energy for it.
