    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Phelps was better than many give him credit for. Those text messages, and his rant against Childress, did him in. Losing trust is a death blow in business.

    “NASCAR today announced that Steve Phelps has made the personal decision to step away from the company and his role as Commissioner of America’s top motorsport. Phelps, who joined NASCAR in 2005, will transition out of the company by the end of the month leaving a legacy of leadership and a...

    the IHRA bought his track, her track, now MY track

    Actually glad someone with some $$$ purchased The Rock. It still needs an infusion of cash for operating expenses, added upgrades, etc. NASCAR events will be more than welcome, and encouraged to bring a Cup event in the future. The concern NASCAR had, and has, is for losing their drivers and...

    Praying for the entire Hamlin family. So sad and sorry to hear of this tragic news.

    so what is going to be the new points system?

    Well, my “bold prediction” is that it will change somewhat, with tweaking on the playoff structure and races included, and without a “leading car takes all” finale. Stating the obvious. Other than that who knows? I’m just waiting for the shoe to drop and the start of Daytona stuff.

    Horrible news. Very glad his parents are OK. Home loss to a fire is among the most devastating impacts anyone can experience, short of losing a loved one.

    Plane Crash in Statesville NC

    Sadly, private planes do have failures in either equipment or occasionally pilot error. It is a risk all pilots face. I think about Chase Elliott who flies his own twin engine plane to most races, and others who are certified. Greg was an excellent pilot who suffered a major aircraft failure on...

    Plane Crash in Statesville NC

    This hits hard, as many years ago I was close to the racing community via my press pass and racing coverage I did every year at the Charlotte races. When I left broadcasting I entered into a different career path with a large company, relocated out of state. Eventually my role was National...

    Plane Crash in Statesville NC

    It is just devastating to hear this tragic news. Greg and his family were top notch, wonderful people. His service in support of the many folks impacted and isolated by the hurricane will be long remembered. He was a heck of a driver and a good man.

    23XI statement on signing Charter agreement

    Well, Hamcrap is hardly a hero. See, the narcissist is practically a jock strap hauler for his main buddy and massive financier Jordan. So when Jordan didn’t like how this was playing out, HE decided to challenge it and got Jenkins to come along. Hambone had no choice…he’s along for the ride...

    23XI statement on signing Charter agreement

    That’s a good question, and I have no idea what the answer is, but here’s my guess: > Multiple bidders were interested in a contract, but none wanted to pony up for an exclusive massive $$$ deal. Notably, Amazon Prime was ready to get their feet wet. Important to partner with streamers due to...

    23XI statement on signing Charter agreement

    You assume I did not want any larger revenue distribution for teams. What I was against involved the CENTRAL CONTENTION in the lawsuit…that NASCAR used anticompetitive monospony practices to stifle competition causing damages. I still say that was NOT proven and not what happened. You are...

    23XI statement on signing Charter agreement

    This is a good article, written from the early testimony of NASCAR witnesses and prior to the settlement. Probst expanded his explanations on the Next Gen car, which 30 out of 36 teams voted for adopting: There were several reasons, Probst went on to say. But the one that kept cropping up, and...
