I would guess that O'Donnell is knowingly or unknowingly choosing to spoil some PRI surprises. Given that GMS Racing is now the owners of the SRX cars and IP, I'm sure they might be more intimately familiar with the new version or outright guiding it. You know, so it doesn't accidentally compete...

Ask NASCAR's lawyers. They could have asked anything they wanted to. This isn't pro wrestling and MJ isn't cutting a promo.

Is the sport called 23XI Racing or NASCAR racing? They all increase NASCAR's position. That's the bottom line. There's no way to make NASCAR bigger without being a benefit to NASCAR. Why would someone else's sponsors (NASCAR or another team's) necessarily lead to more income for their team...

O'Donnell's point about the money given to Indycar teams also bit him in the ass when he also had to admit that such payment represented 200% (!) of the value of Indycar's media deal. 25% is a pretty far cry from 200%. There's a consistent entity here in all the things I've seen who isn't...

Growing the sport doesn't necessitate increases of revenue to either FRM or 23XI in this dynamic. A new sponsor for another team is irrelevant to them if not an outright negative. Same with a new OEM. But any new sponsor coming into the sport with intention of activation is going to be a...

I mean, there was an attempt at negotiating over a full year and even NASCAR admits that they sent the agreements to people at 5PM with a deadline to return a signed one of one hour.

This one. The one where I can see all the trial updates on the NASCAR subreddit in the assorted megathreads. I dunno, I guess you should ask NASCAR. They're the ones doing a solid for the fans by paying to manage their own events, right? How lots of people/organizations do: financial reports...

I was particularly amused with NASCAR arguing that having a cost cap was also an issue for them because they would have to administrate it and thus it "cost money". The point of NASCAR's basic existence is to administrate the events and series. By contrast: Imagine if NASCAR instead came out...

NASCAR ostensibly *is* the sport of top tier stock car racing. It's absolutely true. There's no way to grow the sport without it improving NASCAR's bottom line. Everything you just named results in money going to NASCAR in some fashion whether directly in a partnership with an OEM or indirectly...

All of that results in NASCAR making more money.

1) It being "blasted on the internet" isn't relevant 2) The fact is that growing the sport inherently means increasing NASCAR's bottom line. There's nothing biased about saying the obvious truth.

Apparently not enough of a share to make any of them particularly happy with their share and not enough to prevent two of them from suing NASCAR. I mean, O'Donnell himself is bringing up that the teams only requested 25% of the media rights originally as a defense for why NASCAR should get 75%...

That was brought up as being discussed and JGR, Hendrick, and Penske didn't want caps while the small teams including FRM clearly did.

LMAO, the point of all of the loss leaders you just named is literally that. To be a loss leader; to generate more money on the back end because you did it. NASCAR claims they wouldn't have the Amazon deal without having done the Chicago Street Race. Who gets the bulk of the media rights again...

Again, literally: Formula 1. And buying into F1 is assumed to be 600+ million. So yeah, I'm sure the NASCAR teams would like a scenario like that. Why wouldn't they?
