What happened to Button?

The reason why this won't be the expectation/goal is because hardly any drivers in the truck series are actually getting paid to drive. Crafton and Sauter pretty much are/were the last of their kind. You look at Brian Deegan, he went from winning in motocross to becoming the face of freestyle...

“Being in the NASCAR Cup Series for sure is a huge goal of mine. Just being there would be a huge accomplishment. To go out there and be competitive, that's my life purpose". https://www.monsterenergy.com/en-us/4-wheel/women-of-speed-hailie-deegan/

That doesn't mean Cup isn't the end goal.

Yeah

What difference does it make to you what the page count of this thread is?

Since JHN won't be able to get the 42 ride until 2024 (when the Chevy affiliation ends) I just thought of something. SVG is going to run a truck oval race soon, but what if he worked out a deal to get a few starts in the 42 as well? No pressure to go run top 5 because the car was last in points...

Michael Waltrip at least won two Daytona 500s, was one of the best brand ambassadors for his sponsors in his day, had the guts to start a Cup Series team and with a brand new OEM at that, revolutionized the way Cup shops engage visiting fans by building his shop to be fan-friendly and...

You're missing the element of hype here. I watch SRX, the "Superstar" series, and Hailie Deegan is in every race. I watched the ARCA race today and she's in ads for General Tire. She's in Ford promotional material. She has over a million followers on social media. Yes, there are tons of other...

I listened to The Deegan's podcast once or twice and her and her dad were saying how the sponsorship they have (this was a couple years ago) isn't as much as people think it is, that they have to be selective on where to place her and that they don't just have a blank check. Brian Deegan also...

Huh, I hope Noah at least stays in Cup. I think he's great for the sport but hard to say where he could land now with SVG and (sounds like) Hocevar in the mix for Cup rides. Spire-Andretti with Hocevar and Noah together would be really cool imo, couple of young guns. And we already know that...

It's crazy how Toyota went from basically owning the truck series to being kind of an afterthought there practically overnight. Losing KBM was huge for them. Wonder if they'll try to get Thorsport back whenever Deegan moves on.

Well it depends, right? I mean, if Gibbs is eyeing him then there won't be any outside sponsorship to be found. If any Chevy team wants him, they'll probably find a way to get Lowe's and Home Depot back in the sport on the same car.

I think it'll actually be harder to find. He may have some Cup teams willing to hire him on merit, for a shot to win any of the 7 roadcourses, but Xfinity is almost entirely pay drivers.

I could see it. The decision to no longer pursue a renewal could have just happened, well after Harvick signed on. The executive team that's making a call like this more than likely is not involved in the signing of Kevin Harvick.

It is insane to think how Fox went from Speed Channel, basically The NASCAR Channel, to now (probably) bowing out altogether. That's dramatic. I wonder if NBC's crew gets a shakeup, because I wonder if some of the current broadcasters aren't going to be interested in doing the full schedule.

Allen Bestwick, please. I mean I'd rather have him for Cup, and I love him with SRX, but he'd be awesome for the full Xfinity year.

I'm all for it. What is the last year of the current TV deal, is it 2024? Does Harvick have one year in the Fox booth and then already has to find another gig?

Ok? You're making it out like that ain't two more than Gibbs came up with.

Lucas Oil and McLaren grills hopped on board for Kyle, and he won both of their first starts with primaries on the car.
