I agree. The team owners came to the sport largely for sporting reasons... they want and need to race. This has disadvantaged them financially in terms of the business model that has evolved over ~75 years. But if you believe that ultimately water finds its natural level... that natural level...

Is there a penalty for "crying detrimental to the R-F forum?"

The Race Teams Alliance wants more than 25% of the media rights, and are unhappy with NASCAR's initial response to their offer. This will be a negotiation of paramount importance to the future of the sport, I believe. Basically, they teams are squeezed financially, while the sanctioning body and...

** sigh ** So many people just looking for a juicy conspiracy theory... with Harvick and Childers egging them on. The cars tagged for further inspection at R&D lab are not chosen by a "random draw" of all cars entered. That has happened on occasion in the past, but generally the word random...

C'mon man, you're better than that. You're smarter than that. Your reaction is exactly what Harvick and Childers are trying to promote with those tweets... implying *they* are the victims of some sinister Nascar retaliation plot rather than the perpetrators of illegal modifications. They are...

Earlier today in another thread I mentioned the proclivity of many Nascar fans to latch onto dark, dark conspiracy theories even if they are not supported by a shred of actual evidence. Here is an example of what I was talking about. It's shameful that many will try to excuse SHR cheating by...

My interpretation of these two cryptic remarks is that Harvick and Childers are saying... it's awfully fishy that Nascar just happens to discover the 4 car is illegal, and hammers them with an L2 penalty, just a day or two after Harvick makes blunt comments about the Next Gen safety and Nascar's...

I'm sure it was just an assembly error, a trivial oversight, and certainly did not create any performance advantage... LOL.

And don't forget the Jewish space lasers, they had a lot to do with it too.

All five of these racers will finish the year *ahead* of positions 31 - 36, who fell behind and dropped out. Even being last among those still competing beats the hell outta those DNF's. So congrats to all who are still hanging in there... :cheers:

That's a good article, and re-forming a drivers group is a good and important thing IMO. Jeff Burton is probably a good choice to head it up. {Hint to NBC... do us all a favor and free up Burton to spend *full time* working on the drivers' council, hint, hint.} Speaking of driver advisory work...

Jordan Bianchi (The Athletic) reports that "The Dinger" will be full-time in the Kaulig #16 Cup car for 2023. To be announced Wednesday at the Kaulig Racing Fan Day celebration. No word yet on plans for the Xfinity Series #16 that A.J. drives full-time currently...

You sound like that famous quote from Will Rogers about the stock market... Will Rogers: Making money in the stock market is simple. You buy stock. When it goes up in value, you sell it. Simple. Set Up Man: What if it doesn't go up? Will Rogers: Then you don't buy it! Yes, a charter is an...

I don't see how Next Gen Version 2.0 for next year would be a big financial setback for the teams. Certainly the bigger teams turned over all or most of their chassis every year when racing Gen 6 and prior. Some of the smaller teams with less funding ran year-old chassis, so maybe they were...

Nascar fans on Twitter... ** sigh **

LOL. Can you guess (before watching the video) what was Bowman's request to Noah...

I don't approve of Noah Gragson stepping out of the Beard Motorsports #62 to hop in the 48 for Talladega. He has been the regular driver of the 62 for several years at plate tracks. They gave him that ride when he had nothing going on at all for Cup races. Sunday is his last contracted race with...

Alex Bowman at the 1:20 mark... "I don't understand how this thing's still rolling. That's the hardest I've crashed anything in my entire life." Wow. IIRC, a stated Next Gen design objective was to strengthen the driver's area for massive, extreme hits such as Ryan Newman took at Daytona...

It's not gonna "exhibit" favorably with Red Farmer driving it.

Rodney Childers' explanation about how the teams are using low tire pressures to create maximum downforce was a huge eye-opener to me. Nascar could respond by publishing tire pressures at pit exit, either in real time or at the conclusion of the race. This would add a ton of transparency to the...
