I"ll ask the question again. Is the goal of the France family to sanction stock car races, or be real estate speculators? For decades we were told how important the Southern California market was. Now it seems they would rather just have the money. So in other words, they were just shoveling...

I could certainly understand why they might want some kind of refresher for somebody that has been out of a car so so long, but its alright for Helio, who has NEVER driven a Cup car to race? What exactly did SVG do to get approved to run Xfinity plate races? I do remember that Danica and JPM...

It's not really the price. The price is irrelevant if your goal is to operate a race track and not cash in on the real estate. I guess it's understandable for the owners of Riverside and Ontario to do that, but NASCAR? Since when did being a real estate developer take precedence over holding...

Does $522 include bodyguards?

Does this mean HMS has TWO drivers under contract at Spire?

I can't really disagree with ANY of these changes. I especially like the DVP changes. Nice to see NASCAR can occasionally pull their head out of their butt long enough to get some things right.

That car actually shares a chassis (but not an engine) with the C6 Corvette. Cadillac has nothing on par with the current C8 Corvette. The XLR was built at Bowling Green, but on a separate assembly line from the Corvette, with fewer robots and more human workers putting it together. The...

Not confused at all. DuPont spun off the Performance Coatings business in a deal engineered by Carlyle. DuPont and Axalta are separate companies, but both still exist. I'm not really sure what this has to do with the fact that the paint schemes on the 24 car have gone steadily downhill since...

DuPont is very much alive and well, as is it's performance coatings spin-off, Axalta. Frankly, I'd be perfectly fine if Axalta chose not to revisit Fire and Flames or the Rainbow, but they DO need to do is come up with a scheme that is as visually stunning as its predecessors were. Every scheme...

Well, not that long ago, Chevy had 4-5 cars that were or could be eligible, but with the market rapidly moving away from sedans/coupes in the market segment Chevy sells in, combined with the clueless idiot that runs General Motors, we have what we have. Many times in NASCAR's long and winding...

The Petty/STP scheme is more than twice that old, and people are still rockin it. Axalta carried over a modified version of the Dupont Fire and Flames scheme, so it neither comes from a company that doesn't exist anymore nor is it 25 years old. Just a stray question, if you walk into a paint...

As others have said, I don't believe these arguments exist for ANY other reason than to show in court that NASCAR has a monopoly and to get a more favorable deal from them. Winning a court case is FAR different than real world reality, something even I have remind myself of from time to time...

I know you know this, but SERIOUS racers are always perusing what Donohue called the "Unfair Advantage". The thrill of winning what cannot just be outright bought is just too much of an aphrodisiac. Always remember 1994. Roger Penske spent tens of millions of dollars to win ONE race, a race...

Well, his involvement with basketball teams since he left the Bulls has been less than stellar, to say the least.

Michael MAY have had assurances from his key partners that they would be willing to work with him on this that others may not have had. There is also the fact that Michael has less to lose than many others. He hasn't spent 30-50 years or more building his program, his driver lineup would be no...

If NASCAR was smart, they would have never gone down this road in the first place.

THIS RIGHT HERE is why I think a lot of owners were reluctant to join the lawsuit. By putting their own charters at risk, they could very likely be in breach of their driver, sponsor, and probably manufacturer contracts, and possibly even some other contracted employees. That's a LOT of...

Don't believe me if you don't want to, what do I care? I'm just telling you that Richard Childress went as far as he DARED to criticize the deal, and Rick Hendrick's words were basically resignation that they weren't going to get a better off, not that they liked the offer they got. Some of you...

For most of the owners, this was NEVER about securing enough extra money to survive, this is about getting the cut they feel they are entitled to, right or wrong. Rick could support his race team for the rest of his life if NASCAR didn't pitch in one cent. So could Penske and Jordan and several...

Because if there was ANYTHING remotely positive about it, Rick would have been the guy out trying to sell it. He's one of the kings of making chicken salad out of chicken ****, he's a car salesman, it's what he DOES. Except in this case, he hasn't even tried, and the "I was just tired" is about...
