They didn't call it the "Go Daddy" fab shop for nothing!

Hello everyone. I have been a Nascar fan since the 1970's but it was mainly through Wide World of Sports. Some of my favorite drivers include David Pearson, Darrell Waltrip, Bobby Hamilton, Cale Yarborough plus Bobby and Davey Allison. I had a lot of respect for what Alan Kulwicki did and I...

LOL! I cut the cord too. I recommend that anyone with a dish or cable look into it as it will probably save them money.

I think Nascar and the tracks would like to see more fans in the stands but they are hamstrung by the TV people. The networks have spent a lot of money for the programming so they get to bark out the orders.

I wouldn’t bet the farm that NASCAR will be forced to take less in the next broadcast deal. They say that live sports is an important property to have and there is only so much of it to go around. Maybe Netflix or YouTube will be the next home for NASCAR?

I don’t think anyone is minimizing the benefit of having as many paying fans in the stands as possible. My understanding is with the way the current broadcast deal is structured NASCAR and the tracks are well taken care of but not so much the teams.

Welcome. My son and daughter in law and grandchildren just moved from Lake Oswego so I am a little bit familiar with your part of the country. See you around!

I don't know what any team receives in total sponsorship dollars but I know I started hearing about the lack of those dollars around the time Sprint announced it was leaving. I think Sprint was paying around 75 million per year and that dropped to around 20 million when Monster took over and I...

I agree about the midweek races sneaking up on you as I completely spaced out the ASR. I also agree about having an advance schedule of night races and promoting them.

I'm really surprised that midweek racing hasn't been a ratings success as I thought that it might attract some casual viewers in addition to the die hards. I don't know if it is a lack of promotion or people just not expecting racing to be on midweek or something else entirely.

None of us know how many cars HMS will run next year but anything other than 4 is a big step backward. I'm not saying this from a competition standpoint but from a sponsor standpoint as traditionally HMS has been quite good at putting sponsorship programs together for its teams. There is...

I Your post is a perfect example of what the manufacturers war used to be like. A quarter inch extra of rear spoiler for one manufacturer could cause all sorts of fighting among fans and crew chiefs. Many fans thought that their manufacturer was getting the short end of the stick with each...

I can't provide any sources for this but from what I have read one way teams are trying to contain costs is by reducing driver salaries. This could be part of what is taking so long with Brad and Penske as he may have to sign for less money than he did with his last contract. Guys like Brad will...

Some owners may be happier toiling away in obscurity and others may want to take a short term approach of running well, winning races and maybe even a championship. I don't think either mindset is wrong.

I hope this question hasn’t been answered already but does anyone know if fans are allowed to be at the track tonight

I don’t know enough about things to know what all is included in the potential sale price but it would have to be much more valuable with Toyota on board.

I don’t know a thing about Kyle and his initials but I do know that lots of fans don’t like him. Yes he can be childish and abrasive but he isn’t dating one of my daughters or granddaughters so I don’t have to live with it. Kyle has said many things I have appreciated like saying the CoT sucked...

I bet you are right about that

Or if you are a senior like me that can’t stay up really late! Not that this has ever happened before but I may start watching and fall asleep. I better mash that record button so I can see it in the morning.
