Jordan, Hamcrap and Jenkins assumed they’d own these outright, and could count them as corporate assets on their balance sheets. That is a BIG asset based upon their purchase amount…if they are real. If they are not (NASCAR controls the rights, teams don’t own them like a sports franchise)...

The same reason a car dealer will pay you to take over responsibility your high valued leased car. Once again, NASCAR never said the charters were owned by the teams…and said they could go away someday. The charter gives a team the right to participate in NASCAR’s contract terms for a full...

So, MJ’s hero worshiper Judge Bell denies temporary restraining order (TRO) for the next 2 races, UNTIL he can fully render a judgement. Did this because NASCAR assured they will not execute any sale or action on the charters re is no chance the now open teams will not fail to make the field at...

I could agree that NASCAR may have to hold off on any action related to reconstituting charters now denied to the teams until after a case decision or a settlement is done. However, that should NOT alter the current prevailing judgement of the circuit court denying these teams benefits of a...

So Kessler gets beaten, now files a slightly different request using adjusted phrasing claiming NASCAR could resell the charters, potentially locking the teams out for good. They file it back with the district court. Is it the same “good buddy” judge in western NC who made very broad rulings...

I love it for Trackhouse and kudos to SVG. He brought so much experience and savvy to his move, and is handling the learning curve on ovals decently. But as someone said, his time window is relatively short. Trackhouse is really positioned great; has a strong oval driver in Ross (who has...

Yep, Jordan…more money than sense. He was a failure as an owner of the Hornets, and determined to leave a similar mark on racing.

After he crapped the bed at least twice, at least Dinger finished 18th. Two consecutive road course races using RR experts McDowell then Dinger, result in my lead squashed. But that’s racin’….and there’s a lot of season left.

I think Hamcrap said relative to 23XI that Jordan assured their drivers they would make them whole should they lose the charters benefits this season. Drivers could break from their contracts if charters are required, but as others said, doubtful they would UNLESS approached by another team who...

I HOPE they rescue and purchase Hickory Motor Speedway. What a historic track, and can produce great racing, but needs a lot of attention. My home track, where I saw my first in person NASCAR race in 1970. My daddy loved racing so much he and my mother and my grandparents are buried at the...

That’s a huge hit to viewership. I suspect the street race novelty has worn off. Network coverage will always be higher than cable, but nearly a 50% decrease is enormous year over year.

With all the speculation about expanding tracks (like adding San Diego), any new location would either replace a current one or require cutting one race from those tracks that have two per year. Maybe San Diego would replace Mexico City. What tracks do you believe must NEVER lose having two...

I find the TNT pre-race stuff to be crappy. My wife turned it on about 12:35pm CST, and unbeknownst to me we were watching it on Tru. Don’t know if it’s different than TNT, but the segments with Burton and McReynolds are overdone and nothing but commercials for DraftKings gambling and the...

Uh oh…there goes the 71…. Well it was fun for a moment boys!

I was kind of surprised they were planning to try the 1 pit stop strategy with having such a strong car. If rain comes as they say it may be, everyone will come in to swap tires. Might play to the 71’s advantage.
