    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Probably not Dennis, but MJ and Polk? Not as far fetched. No, the ship sailed when the other 13 signed. The teams just have to accept that they are now and probably forever NASCAR's bitch. When the new contract expires, NASCAR will hold a gun to the owner's heads that much faster, knowing...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    NASCAR would look pretty funny if no Cup teams showed up for Daytona.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    I don't think anyone is suggesting a split, more like a strike, or at least the threat of one.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    My response would be "go for it".

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Watkins Glen

    SVG is a special case. They would have interviewed him if he finished 31st. Yes, the drivers have to be available, but there is no rule that they have to actually interview them, or use the footage they shoot. This has been the same story for as long as I have been watching racing and...

    Should have ALL went to the house. United we stand, divided we fall.

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Watkins Glen

    When you're not a playoff driver, unless you win the race, you basically don't exist as far as TV is concerned

    Legacy to Toyota

    Like I said, it was basically ALL Harvick/Childers, and it lasted for ONE season. The other SHR cars and the other seasons were all pretty forgettable. They were much more consistent and good when they had Chevy/HMS backing.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Yes, ARCA cars definitely were former Cup cars in almost all circumstances except for a select few that could afford to have new cars built. In my era (2000-2003) the ONLY team I know of that had some new cars built was the Larry Clement team for driver Frank Kimmel. I don't even think the...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Watkins Glen

    5 at best. Despite all the talk, tire falloff was not enough to make any real difference, and unless you had SVG type of speed, you really weren't passing anybody. The guys who needed stage points were put at a HUGE disadvantage versus the guys like SVG, Chastain and Buescher that could just go...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    These cars are too different to be used in any other stock car series, and despite the similarities, they can't really be modified for any GT sports car racing class either. Their ONLY possible use would be as a track day or vintage meet car, where depending on what caused the car to be...

    JPM at The Glenn

    I don't believe he ever would have SEEN the top 10 without flipping the stages though.

    Silly Season 2025

    I can find no rhyme nor reason for the thought process over at Kaulig. I've been repeatedly told that money is no issue for them, but some of their hires just look like ride buying. I just don't see ANY way Dillon helps that team get to the next level, and the decision to take AJ out of Cup for...

    JPM at The Glenn

    I agree. At this point in his life, I'm not sure he is Connor Zilisch good.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    I'm a little fuzzy on some of the car rules. The way I understand it, if a team wants a new car, they have to retire one of their current cars, but does NASCAR hold any rights to the retired car? I understand it can never be raced again, but can it become a museum car or a track day car? I also...

    It's 'Watkins GLEN', not 'GleNN'. One N, not two. Thank you.

    I've been telling people I know that for a couple of months now. Kid impresses the hell out of me.

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Hendrick Engines is not diversified like ECR and Roush Yates. They basically exist to supply HMS and JRM. Any other engines they lease is just a little extra pocket change. My guess is if HMS stopped being a Cup team, the engine department would probably shut down and the machinery and some of...

    And how well has that worked out for many of them?

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    The problem is you'll have to invest millions to be able to compete for that 5-8 millon. How many guys will be willing to do that after seeing what NASCAR did to the previous bunch? Who's going to build all the engines? I don't see Hendrick, Childress or Roush wanting to do business with the...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    Then the deadline should have been three months ago, with a one month notification. If you put something in front of ME and tell me I have until midnight to sign it, I'm not signing it no matter what it is. I'm REALLY curious what would have happened if EVERYONE refused to sign. This isn't...
