    PRIME broadcast: now that’s a winner!

    Still like their broadcast a lot. Adam is an excellent lead announcer. Enjoy Jr and his gut reactions to events, plus his perspectives offered on the race and sport overall. LeFart was a bit more tame in the first race, but he has entered full irritation gerbil mode since. Can’t seem to help...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    They bought the rights to a Charter. There was never a guarantee that the Charter was a fixed, permanent asset. It was how a race team could maximize their potential when competing in the NASCAR series. Like similar business rights deals it carried inherent risks. Those risks should be factored...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    So let’s define “stock car racing”; because what it once was ain't what it is now. NASCAR fields pure racing vehicles which are designed to compete consistently via very specific specifications and approved parts. The racing body, or shell, is approved for only 3 types of designs, each made to...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    It is HIGHLY unlikely that the full 7 judge panel would somehow overrule their 3 distinguished colleagues on this ruling. The real issue is how ridiculous the first judge’s decisions were. It really didn’t align with business case law at all on the most basic level. So will Kessler and his...

    Who was Better in their prime? Petty or Pearson?

    I watched these men first battle in person when I was 12 at Hickory Motor Speedway (1970). Watched any race I could on TV, or at tracks once I could drive to them. Impossible to rank one over the other. Pearson was the more strategic driver, played the long game in moving up when necessary to...

    Larson overtakes Elliott has top merchandise seller

    Interesting. I don’t care very much who gets to the top of merchandising sales/popularity. I would offer an observation; is this less about Larson becoming more popular than it is Chase slipping a bit in HIS popularity? I postulate this because Elliot seems a tad off in his interviews. Almost...

    Your thoughts on 21 Car this year??

    I’m very happy for the team’s success…have always been a fan of the 21 car since pulling for Pearson in that Purolator Mercury many years ago. Wood Brothers are a class act. Berry is certainly helping as the 21’s driver, giving them more consistency this year.

    PRIME broadcast: now that’s a winner!

    I should also mention one other big plus: the last (I think) 50 laps of the racing broadcast commercial free courtesy of PRIME. If there had been a caution, not sure if they would have gone split screen during portions of the yellow, but that would have been fine.

    PRIME broadcast: now that’s a winner!

    Whomever it was that constructed the teams and concepts for the PRIME NASCAR presentation deserves major kudos. From the great video quality, to the announcers, the extended post race, I thought it was the best broadcast race presentation in a very long time. What’s everyone’s take? The primary...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- 600

    10 - and not just because Ross won with an amazing pass. For the longest race it was compelling throughout. Passing, battles up front and right to the end. Great race coverage by Prime.

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2025 - Charlotte

    Well, at least @Greg and I got that Gibbs pick out of our systems. Sort of like colonoscopy prep. But way to go Ross on winning the race. Great pick of Chastain by @Truex_rox !

    What is your promote, keep, drop line?

    Indeed, good observations. Despite the obvious relationship, I think Ty Gibbs will be at JGR a long time. He has shown flashes, and with experience and maturity will produce wins. It could be one of those deals where, once he gets his first win, he starts producing multi win seasons on a regular...
