2026 Silly Season

We know Brad's not going anywhere and there may only be 2 seats for 3 drivers next year

I don't think that's a given. Brad has a championship, dozens of wins, and nothing left to prove. He's ran like dog crap this year. I subscribe to the theory Brad will retire sooner than later and run RFK... outwardly he seems really invested in the team.

Time for the inevitable question, "Is it Brad or the car?"

Brad has also made comments recently that he feels he still has a lot left in the tank and would like to continue racing for several more years.
 
I never heard a Cup driver reference Xfinity in an interview though.
I don't usually listen to interviews.

I'm also apparently the only one who isn't offended by the referenced Xfinity ads. I have no recognition of the phrase at all. It's that stupid "Wifi is booming' that I'd like to see banned.
 
11 years of suffering through "faster than Xfinity Internet/Mobile" are over?
How long will we be suffering through the “one to go sponsored by credit one bank?”

What’s next, two to go sponsored by Avis, 3 to go sponsored by 3M, 4 to go sponsored by Four Seasons Hotel, five to go sponsored by Five Guys, six to go sponsored by Motel 6, 7 to go sponsored by 7 Up, 8 to go sponsored by Super 8, 9 to go sponsored by Cloud9… I’ll stop.

My future bold prediction. "Mopar Most Laps Led" coming soon.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a sponsor somewhere who'd want to leverage Daniel's heritage to reach the Hispanic / Latino market.
He was driving the coca cola car at Daytona

Yes, Coca-Cola is the number one soft drink in Mexico and much of South America, based on available data up to 2025.Mexico: Coca-Cola dominates the soft drink market, with Mexico being one of the highest per capita consumers of Coca-Cola globally, averaging around 634 8-ounce servings per person annually as of 2023. It holds a 99% brand awareness and 83% consumption rate among Mexican consumers, significantly outpacing competitors like Pepsi, which ranks second with fewer Consumer Reach Points.
 
That was good for last week, and I could see Coke paying a team for a handful of races next year. He and / or a team have to fill out the rest of the schedule.
You do realize that Coke has been with Suarez since before Stewart Haas days. They go with Suarez and don't stay with the team. Thy aren't just the primary, they take the whole car.

No, I guess I had forgotten that.

The whole car for an entire season? I'm pretty sure I'd remember that but I've forgotten more important things.

I think we agree that Daniel or a team will be able to find funding for a season, with Coke being a big part.

C'mon man. That isn't how it works and you should know that. If Suarez can piece together some sponsorship here there everywhere he can and the team has some also, that is how it works compared to a driver that has little or none. Coke is a long time sponsor.
