    2026 NASCAR Schedule

    I HOPE they rescue and purchase Hickory Motor Speedway. What a historic track, and can produce great racing, but needs a lot of attention. My home track, where I saw my first in person NASCAR race in 1970. My daddy loved racing so much he and my mother and my grandparents are buried at the...

    NASCAR on TNT

    That’s a huge hit to viewership. I suspect the street race novelty has worn off. Network coverage will always be higher than cable, but nearly a 50% decrease is enormous year over year.

    2026 NASCAR Schedule

    With all the speculation about expanding tracks (like adding San Diego), any new location would either replace a current one or require cutting one race from those tracks that have two per year. Maybe San Diego would replace Mexico City. What tracks do you believe must NEVER lose having two...

    NASCAR on TNT

    I find the TNT pre-race stuff to be crappy. My wife turned it on about 12:35pm CST, and unbeknownst to me we were watching it on Tru. Don’t know if it’s different than TNT, but the segments with Burton and McReynolds are overdone and nothing but commercials for DraftKings gambling and the...

    NASCAR Pick 'Em 2025 - Chicago

    Uh oh…there goes the 71…. Well it was fun for a moment boys!

    Cup RACE thread --- Chicago Street

    I was kind of surprised they were planning to try the 1 pit stop strategy with having such a strong car. If rain comes as they say it may be, everyone will come in to swap tires. Might play to the 71’s advantage.

    Johali's Rate the Xfinity race --- Chicago Street

    8 for the drives coming up thru traffic by both SVG and the prodigy, who learned a valuable lesson losing his lead.

    NASCAR on TNT

    Same very strong team in the broadcast booth. Pre race group isn’t as good, pit teams OK, have no idea on any post race (was there any conducted?). Perhaps a different director, but they were kind of slow getting the replays queued up to show following incidents. Still that broadcast team of...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Atlanta

    10 - absolutely great racing, and the rating has nothing to do with who won. If you can’t enjoy this race, respectfully suggest picking another genre.

    Cup RACE thread -- Atlanta

    Had a family event and couldn’t watch live, so recorded and avoided ANYTHING related to info on this race. Just finished watching it. WOW! I love Atlanta. That was the BEST race of the season YTD. Amazing action throughout, amazing saves from near wrecks and some that of course couldn’t be...

    PRIME broadcast: now that’s a winner!

    So we say goodbye to the Prime broadcast team, the best package overall in a long time. I will miss it greatly, although some of the same folks will be on the next 5 TNT editions. The production quality, picture quality, fan casual approach and pre/post race fun, just great. Keselowski was on...

    Johali's Rate the Cup race --- Pocono

    8 - always challenging and this had serious fuel drama

    Johali's Rate the Xfinity race --- Pocono

    8 - a fun race and the new crew chief drama combined into an oval track victory for Connor.

    PRIME broadcast: now that’s a winner!

    Still like their broadcast a lot. Adam is an excellent lead announcer. Enjoy Jr and his gut reactions to events, plus his perspectives offered on the race and sport overall. LeFart was a bit more tame in the first race, but he has entered full irritation gerbil mode since. Can’t seem to help...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    They bought the rights to a Charter. There was never a guarantee that the Charter was a fixed, permanent asset. It was how a race team could maximize their potential when competing in the NASCAR series. Like similar business rights deals it carried inherent risks. Those risks should be factored...

    23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

    So let’s define “stock car racing”; because what it once was ain't what it is now. NASCAR fields pure racing vehicles which are designed to compete consistently via very specific specifications and approved parts. The racing body, or shell, is approved for only 3 types of designs, each made to...
