In my opinion LMC would make out second best. 23XI would be expanding from two to four cars. That's huge.

I think you're taking it a little too dramatic here. We've seen teams downsize to refocus before, like Roush and RCR, who were also once powerhouse teams (more so even than SHR) that fell into a rut. Tony/Gene have said that they four cars because that's how they make the most from their Ford...

I think 100% SHR sees value in reducing their car count to refocus their efforts, I think that's gotta be why they're entertaining these discussions to begin with. One thing with what you said: There's no way Ford is going to align with 23XI while Denny is also driving a Gibbs Toyota. Hamlin...

Let's say Denny leaves JGR and then JHN is basically the guaranteed pick to fill that slot. Then who gets the nod for the 42? There aren't really any other Toyota pipeline drivers that are ready for Cup imo, especially when you consider that if Toyota loses Reddick and Hamlin then they'll be...

Denny is already in his twilight years. He's almost 43 years old, his Cup career started 18 years ago.

Ok, now with the Zane Smith talks sprinkled in, 23XI should absolutely make the switch. Ford is big on Zane, Zane is a top prospect, and 23XI would likely be getting tons of manufacturer support through this move, and Ford loses four SHR cars but gains three 23XI cars which is more valuable on...

You know, you may actually be onto something here. Briscoe's dream was to drive for Tony, but Briscoe has also been a Ford driver this whole time, and Ford has taken care of him. I wonder if Ford Performance pulls the strings to get Briscoe the 21, keeping him in the Ford camp and sells it to...

Interesting idea but I think Denny would drive for his own team even unchartered before driving an SHR dump truck right now to end his career.

You realize if this were a rule then DEI never would have existed, right?

I hope 23XI goes Ford just to shake things up.

It's crazy how SHR is basically the new Roush.

Is that what happened? I fell asleep toward the end and was like where'd he go? I saw both pit road penalties.

They were never a primary for RCR before KyBu.

Noah to the 31 Zane Smith to the 10

That's the Indy 500. For NASCAR, they typically make you run the ARCA race before the 500 if you're jumping right into Cup.

I hope he gets a cooler sponsor because the whatever health paint scheme isn't cool enough for SVG.

Totally agree. After the SVG win, days like today bring it back to reality that our regulars are indeed highly skilled specialists, and that outsiders can't just come in and kick their teeth in at their own game.

That was underwhelming. I was hoping he would be more of a factor.

No before that, he was already in 38th
