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...

It's just concept art that somebody made.

Which is crazy because HMS schemes used to knock it out of the park. Or should I say Sam Bass schemes. When you look at the legacy of HMS schemes since the 90s and then look at the crop of designs from the past seven years or so, it's hard to believe the same organization approved all of them.

Agreed. It's crazy that we see such ho-hum schemes on track and then you see amateur designers on social media putting out concept schemes for free that are better than the real thing. On the new 9 NAPA scheme, I'm not a fan. Seems pretty blah to me. Maybe it'll look better on track...

I never saw anything about Budweiser but I would love to see them bring the Bud brand back.

Lease. And there's even different tiers, like you can lease "A" tier engines from HMS or "C" tier.

Already halfway through this deal
