    Interest builds around possible changes to NASCAR schedule

    Maybe they could move it to the suburbs for the second and third years of the contract. I'm pretty sure Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin is a suburb of Chicago isn't it?

    Silly Season 2023

    I actually think Tyler Reddick might wind up in the 16 car for 2023, officially entered by Richard Childress but prepared and crewed by Kaulig, same as the 31 car. This would be if Kurt Busch returns to the 45 for 2023. Another possibility for Reddick would be the Spire 77, operated and crewed...

    Kyle Busch to RCR

    This is exactly right. When Allenbaba offered his opinion that he'd prefer that GM and Ford had the same approach as Toyota, with full-boat factory teams and massive factory-funded driver development pipelines down to the grassroots level, but @Revman is dreaming in a hypothetical world that...

    Interesting perspective, @Speedbowl14. So you're saying, the "deathbedder vote" dooms TMS to the garbage pile? Make it 1995 again, now and forever!

    Kyle Busch to RCR

    You didn't address that to me, but here's my opinion of KDB in a Chevrolet... Kyle Busch in a Toyota... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Chevy... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Ford... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Dodge... No bueno. Kyle Busch in a Hyundai or Kia... No bueno. Ya see the pattern?

    Brad Keselowski - Official Thread

    Lofty goals at Roush-Fenway-Keselowski Racing... become relevant again as a two-car team; then expand to three cars; then to four cars. No mention of Xfinity Series... RFK setting long-term goal of four cars – Keselowski "This (win at Bristol) is a good step forward for us. We’ve got a long...

    Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway Pre-Race Thread

    Nascar will apply resin (not the PJ1 used previously) to encourage a 2nd groove at Texas Motor Speedway. Cue the complaints that track prep is a gimmick, except what bulldozers do... that's OK because bulldozers are righteous. Personally, I'd prefer progressive banking but that train has left...

    Kyle Busch to RCR

    Well, you push the limits to the max in the motors and everything else. It's the only way to win in modern Nascar. Sometimes it bites ya in the butt. It's racing, that's how it goes. It is the same as trying to be faster than the other guy on pit road... sometimes you pass that guy on pit road...

    I'll second the notion that there is a lot of recency bias in these two posts. Go back to 2018 (the last year before the NA18D package was foisted upon us by Marcus Smith and Brian France) and before. Charlotte was consistently producing the worst racing on the schedule, and it wasn't even...

    In Defense of Texas Motor Speedway...

    Most everyone here on R-F loves to dump on Texas Motor Speedway. I harbor no illusions about changing their minds, but personally I think it's a bum rap. My #1 criteria for a race - any race, every race - is always the same... Is it a stern test of driving skill with results typically...

    Cup RACE thread --- Bristol

    It's been a tough year for Brad K and RFK Racing. One step forward; two steps back. I was bitterly disappointed when he blew that right front tire with victory almost within sight. Buescher bringing the 17 home was partial redemption, I guess. I still believe Brad's mission as owner/driver is a...

    Kyle Busch to RCR

    LMAO at your hypocrisy @Revman. A couple days ago, you were bloviating ad nauseam about how the throats you cut in a business setting say nothing at all about what or who the man is. But that was about Preacher Joe, and Richard Childress isn't your guy... so now it's different. LMAO.

    Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

    No, Austin Dillon did not. But Rollie Free did, at the Bonneville Salt flats on September 13, 1948. A record-setting run of 150.313 mph aboard a Vincent HRD. (All A. Dillon did was to flop in the grass... which has nothing to do with aerodynamics.)

    Silly Season 2023

    RCR is one of many teams in a position to benefit from the new Next Gen philosophy in Nascar, instead of remaining a 2nd tier team as they have been for many years. They have already benefited from the largely spec car, as has Trackhouse, Petty-GMS, Rousch-Fenway-Kes, 23XI, and others. RCR has...

    Silly Season 2023

    Eh, both you guys are assuming Chevy management has been wringing their hands and saying, "We really want to act like Toyota, except we just don't have Kyle Busch Motorsports to be our factory truck team. If we had KBM, we'd gladly sign a pipeline of drivers to support deals, and we'd strongarm...

    Silly Season 2023

    That's possible, but you are assuming a lot. If Chevy wanted that type of deal, why have they not built it with GMS or someone else? I seriously doubt that Chevy has a boner for Kyle Busch Motorsports Quasi-Factory Team. If I'm right, Kyle will be looking for drivers with fat daddies and...

    Silly Season 2023

    Yeah, my guess is that RCR's contract with Tyler Reddick specifies the car will be chartered. Tyler has that guarantee, so Richard has to come up with a charter for a year.
