    Silly Season For 2017

    He's also going from working 24/7 carrying that dog of a company on his shoulders to a stress free life with whatever company wants him . Sounds pretty nice to me .

    I cant wait to see the first glimpses of the SHR fords

    I think you are thinking of the old 'car of tomorrow' , they all had a common template . Nascar got together with the three manufacturers and allowed them to put different cars on track as long as they all had similar drag numbers . So now they all use different templates but pass through the...

    Silly Season For 2017

    Very true . We may be the only ones who know that the only similarity to a 'developmental series ' is the lower price that the sponsors want to pay . They still want an experienced driver , crew chief , pit crew , and equipment , but they just don't want to pay extra for it .

    Silly Season For 2017

    All this 'taking a seat away from a younger driver' is pie in the sky . This is a sponsor driven sport . The sponsor wants who the sponsor wants . The owner and the sponsor sit down and decide how much they have to pay to get that guy . The sponsor gets the guy who will be a good corporate shill...

    The future of HMS

    So add that to General Instrument and Motorola , they are big . I think they make most cable and satellite tv boxes .

    The future of HMS

    I know absolutely nothing , but I'll tell you what I think . I think Motorola and General Instruments exported their jobs to Mexico . The new name is now Arris . They came to Nascar with Suarez from Mexico with Suarez's dad who I think is an Arris exec. . I think both Motorola and General...

    The future of HMS

    mmmmm.......maybe . If Suarez and his sponsors want him in a cup car , he will be in one by the end of 2017 .

    The future of HMS

    Suarez is the guy with sponsorship . Somebody will grab him if he isn't in a cup ride very soon.

    The future of HMS

    The trouble for all those rookies waiting for rides is the next crop of rookies coming down the pipe . Seems like the older rookies can expect to get bumped .

    Danica Patrick on a frustrating 2016 season: “I get so sad . . . it’s just not much fun”

    Nobody is saying Danica can win in ANY car , so what's your point ?

    A glimpse into Monster and motorsport

    You are right , but Monster , (well , all the energy drinks ) seem to work at creating the hooplah. Same as Winston did . Million dollar bonus , give aways at the tracks , stuff going on . I 've been to a couple of Monster events with my grandson and they do a great job . They will make a Nascar...

    A glimpse into Monster and motorsport

    Sprint was kinda blah . I didn't sense the Monster excitement nor the Winston type marketing .

    Dodge?

    Not sayin Penske would do it , but it's just business to Roger . Looking at what Dodge would need from a lead team , it's either Hendrick , Gibbs or Penske and the first two aren't takin the call .

    A glimpse into Monster and motorsport

    As an 'older fan' , I love the idea . I think it is a breath of fresh air into the sport . I'll be disappointed if it doesn't bring a ton of new attention and some new fans . I have the impression that it is a brand that is known outside of North America as well ? I could be wrong . But I see...

    Dodge?

    Dodge?

    Any additional brands would be a big boost for Nascar . It would focus new attention from the press and likely peak the interest their customers . Downside is their desire to win right away , and to my mind that can only involve Penske .

    Dodge?

    Perhaps you mean that you aren't permitted to talk about it . I am under no such gag order . Anyway , I was only speculating .
