You're missing the element of hype here. I watch SRX, the "Superstar" series, and Hailie Deegan is in every race. I watched the ARCA race today and she's in ads for General Tire. She's in Ford promotional material. She has over a million followers on social media. Yes, there are tons of other...

I listened to The Deegan's podcast once or twice and her and her dad were saying how the sponsorship they have (this was a couple years ago) isn't as much as people think it is, that they have to be selective on where to place her and that they don't just have a blank check. Brian Deegan also...

Huh, I hope Noah at least stays in Cup. I think he's great for the sport but hard to say where he could land now with SVG and (sounds like) Hocevar in the mix for Cup rides. Spire-Andretti with Hocevar and Noah together would be really cool imo, couple of young guns. And we already know that...

It's crazy how Toyota went from basically owning the truck series to being kind of an afterthought there practically overnight. Losing KBM was huge for them. Wonder if they'll try to get Thorsport back whenever Deegan moves on.

Well it depends, right? I mean, if Gibbs is eyeing him then there won't be any outside sponsorship to be found. If any Chevy team wants him, they'll probably find a way to get Lowe's and Home Depot back in the sport on the same car.

I think it'll actually be harder to find. He may have some Cup teams willing to hire him on merit, for a shot to win any of the 7 roadcourses, but Xfinity is almost entirely pay drivers.

I could see it. The decision to no longer pursue a renewal could have just happened, well after Harvick signed on. The executive team that's making a call like this more than likely is not involved in the signing of Kevin Harvick.

It is insane to think how Fox went from Speed Channel, basically The NASCAR Channel, to now (probably) bowing out altogether. That's dramatic. I wonder if NBC's crew gets a shakeup, because I wonder if some of the current broadcasters aren't going to be interested in doing the full schedule.

Allen Bestwick, please. I mean I'd rather have him for Cup, and I love him with SRX, but he'd be awesome for the full Xfinity year.

I'm all for it. What is the last year of the current TV deal, is it 2024? Does Harvick have one year in the Fox booth and then already has to find another gig?

Ok? You're making it out like that ain't two more than Gibbs came up with.

Lucas Oil and McLaren grills hopped on board for Kyle, and he won both of their first starts with primaries on the car.

The 21 is the most interesting part of silly season to me right now. Who gets a seat in the Penske pipeline next. I don't see them retaining Harrison either.

Do Racing Forums next.

I feel the same way. Even Ford as a whole has Zane Smith and that's basically it as far as realistic Cup prospects right now. This move positions Haley in the Ford pipeline kind of like how John Hunter went down a rung to get in the TRD fold. Yes RWR is a weird step down at face value, but like...

I don't think there's a 0% chance of RCR taking a big swing. They're also running Brodie for Indy so they have their money where their mouth is for trying to also bring in a Supercars talent. Austin is the one who approached Kyle Busch and facilitated his signing to the 8, which shows that he...

I just don't see SVG making this type of a change to settle for a relatively back-marker team.

MY GM Performance powered Chevy. :jamming:

Heck yes, can't wait to have him fulltime. Hope he lands a solid ride where he's able to showcase his talent. Bold prediction: Austin Dillon hangs up the steering wheel for an RCR front office position. SVG takes over the 3.

Agreed, and I view this Indy race now as being basically a test for him to see if he would really be happy here. I could definitely see them putting him in at Martinsville or something later this season to give him a broader picture of what being a Cup driver is like, evaluate how he does, and...
