Kyle may well get the 22 more wins to make 50, but it will probably cost Rick 50 more race cars for him to get there at the rate he wads them up.

Sorry, that post SHOULD have said Dallenbach replaced Craven, who replaced Shrader. Those three drivers have a combined 4 wins over 11 seasons for HMS (all by Shrader), but remember that Bowman is a hack who should be fired.....

Actually, Dallenbach

Maybe Carson would, but he was probably driving go-karts when Alex got the ride, so what's the point? Alex has eight Cup wins and has made the playoffs in all but one year (because of injury) while at HMS. Would you like me to to start naming all of the former HMS drivers that never...

Another company that adds only cost to the product, not any value. Sounds EXACTLY like the kind of operation the current NASCAR leadership would embrace. I would say vote with your feet fans, but I imagine most will just cave in like the team owners did.

NASCAR wanted to limit teams to THREE charters. I don't think they are going to budge on allowing more than four in the foreseeable future.

Why don't we just let people run the races they want to run and let the points fall where they may? If you're a Kyle Larson fan, you know what he does, and it either works for you or it doesn't.

Maybe not, but it makes you wonder what the end game for Hendrick is. It's not like Spire can't afford to hire their own drivers.

According to reports, Brad K. basically admitted that Haley left RWR and the RFK orbit to sign with HMS. Make of it what you will.

I didn't say he didn't care, but given the two choices, a crapshoot shot at a SECOND title or an Indy 500 win, I know which one I'm choosing, and probably Kyle too. His motivations are a little different than most Cup drivers, hence all of the extracurricular racing activities, and taking all...

And in my opinion, and in the opinion of some car owners, it's time to look at that differently now. The current business model is absolutely nonsensical in my opinion. There is no way I would participate under the current terms. I never wanted the charters, but we have them, and it's developed...

I never said they violated the existing contract, I am talking about looking ahead and seeing what is good for the teams and good for the sport as a whole, not just what benefits NASCAR.

Two problems with that. First, several individuals have paid big money to attain them. It would be liking buying a new car and paying for it, only to have the manufacturer take it back from you. It destroys the long term value of the asset. Secondly, it turns the sport into the same kind of old...

A precise explanation of why big picture thinking has become so rare it's damn near a super power.

Benevolent dictatorships only work if the dictator is actually benevolent and looks out for the interests of their subjects. One could make the case that NASCAR isn't keeping up with their end of the bargain. At this point in the game, refusing to make the charters permanent is by itself enough...

I have fond memories of going to a kegger for all the people that didn't get asked to the prom. I think the girls at the party were out to prove something......

The track record on second generation drivers is notoriously hit and miss. I'll reserve judgement until they get at least to the Cars Tour level or equivalent. There is also the question of whether any of them burns out or decides to go in a different direction. Remember Matt Martin?

I never really got the Casey Atwood hype in the first place. I think he was a case of Ray Evernham trying just a little TOO HARD to find himself another Jeff Gordon. I'm not saying he wasn't or could not have become a really good driver, just that I didn't see anything up to the point of his Cup...

Well, that was sort of my point. If you can't run top 10 with Logano in the seat, you have a LOT of work to do.

I've been pretty hard on the kid, but now I actually feel sorry for him. Unless that team makes a DRAMATIC improvement, they will finish off his career.
