2026 Silly Season

You know someone is writing a check when you have to google someone that just got a full ride in the #2 series
Yeah, the same eye medication sponsor who was with him last year. Great fit of sponsor and driver. Big Machine probably pleased to have an outside sponsor on the car.
 
Seems like he’s reasonably competent for essentially being a gentleman driver. And really, I gotta respect the hustle of someone who loved racing first and became a successful doctor to eventually fund their passion.
 
All sirius keeps talking about is how big this silly season is going to be. Who's contracts are all up?
 

If I'm reading it right you have the potential names of

Cindric
Dillon
Larson
Busch
T. Dillon
Buescher
Gilliland
Herbst
Custer
Nemechek
Jones
Reddick
Stenhouse
Bowman
McDowell
Hocevar

Maybes based on what they have
Bell,
Chastain
Blaney
Logano
Bubba
I looked through that list myself and a lot of them had (2026?). Indicating they think it may be up at the end of the year, but they don't know.

I can see Busch really being one of the first dominos to fall in this game and then I would have to assume Hill takes that ride.

If Denny is true to his word of getting the extra money that he doesn't need to hire drivers based on money than Herbst should be gone and Heim should be in that car.

Bubba better hope that 23XI wants him back because I don't see any better teams wanting to pick him up. His sponsorship pull isn't what it used to be.

Hocevar could be the one wild card to me, but I don't see any of the big 3 wanting him now.

If Rick can make a run at Reddick I could see him taking Bowman's spot, but I can't see 23XI letting him go. That's really the only way I see Bowman replaced.

Otherwise it might just be some shuffling of the deck at the second tier team level
