This thread is just continuous cherry-picking of stats. Saying Toyota is less likely to win the 500. Okay, well Toyota also has the lowest car count of the three makes. Pulling the stats from only 2020 through 2023. Well if you go back to 2016 through 2020 then Denny and Toyota look really...

The new Camry is going to be insanely good at the drafting tracks. You look at the photos of the 43 Advent Health scheme and you can clearly see how the center of the nose is so blunt, just made for pushing.

Another storyline would be Denny winning his fourth. This would tie him with Cale Yarborough for the second-most Daytona 500 victories (with The King well ahead at 7 all-time). That would certainly pad his stats for the "best driver who never won a championship" discussion, if he indeed never...

NASCAR would love the story of Chase Elliott bouncing back from his winless season with a Daytona 500 victory. Blaney has come so close to getting it done before that him opening his championship defense season with a 500 would be very cool. RFK getting it done would solidify that they're back...

Luckily NASCAR is importing some personality from down under.

GM will never enter a Cadillac body into NASCAR. Cadillac is reserved for upper-crust series like IMSA and now F1. I think a change to crossover bodies in NASCAR is coming sooner than people think, to where it actually wouldn't surprise me if the new Camry and Mustang bodies were the last new...

Imagine if Shane, Brodie and Cam were to all go full-time Cup in 2025 and we had an Ultimate Aussie rookie of the year battle?

While I agree with you, Dale Sr partially owned Chase Authentics, so it's like if Chase Elliott owned Fanatics these days.

Right, because it's been years now since the salary cuts started taking place. Of course it would have been content for Junior six years ago instead of six weeks ago. This place gets a little behind the curve in some areas.

I think you're misunderstanding. Even the rookie contracts from big teams in Cup used to be larger. And the option isn't $500k for HMS or $750k for RWR... Also your stock cannot only go up when you run a Hendrick car. Look at Jerry Nadeau and the slew of other drivers that were in and out of...

The back of the field Cup making $500k a year is years in the past now. When Bowman and Byron signed their first HMS Cup deals, it was allegedly only for 400-500k. Even big teams don't pay anywhere near like they did 15 years ago.

"TV" these days has changed.

Cars tour, super lates, dirt late models. There's other forms of stockcar racing that isn't NASCAR sanctioned happening all over the country

Why did the PR rep grab your die-cast and the hero cards?

The Clash and the Chicago street course absolutely drew eyeballs to the sport that wouldn't normally watch

What is NASCAR supposed to do then, nothing? Just accept that the series is doomed and plan on going out of business in a couple decades?

It's a very fine line between attracting new fans and pissing the old ones off. The problem, is that NASCAR fans are on average, very old. So old that they are literally dying out. When the current fans are gone, and there's no new fans to fill that viewership void, the sport is going to have a...

Which may be a reaction to them losing their star power (Junior, Gordon, Smoke, Danica) all within a short amount of time and wanting to shift the focus to themselves, but I think that's a mistake. They just need to keep propping drivers up each generation.

NASCAR already owns IMSA.

Totally agree. We badly need at least one current-generation driver to step up in the spotlight like Jeff Gordon did. I know that trail has already been blazed, but it kind of kills me that no new driver saw it through and worked to keep mainstream relevance for the sport like Jeff, Dale Sr and...
