I am sure that I have easily competed in over 10,000 races during my life, and I won most of them.

If I were to count all the races I did as a boy pushing my toy Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars through the dirt (Tip: The Matchbox cars usually had the best wheels and tires).

My mom flipped a throw rug over on one occasion and discovered a taped out oval, including the pits. I made it on a long rectangular piece with the masking tape.

All the races I ran on my bike, and even as an adult driving on the interstate. The other people on their bikes and cars may not have known it, but the sheit was still on from the very first moment.

Kevin Harvick predicts that Alex Bowman must win in the 48 this summer in order to get a contract extension from HMS. (It's also worth noting that Harvick owns a talent agency that represents a number of Nascar drivers that would love to be in the 48. So Yap Yap Harvick definitely has that conflict of interest in the matter of the 48.)

The only way that rumor is going to die is if Hendrick says something or Bowman quits. Corey Day is making that hard right now. Huge jump for Day, I would say Bowman for another year. No way Day is ready for Cup.

Childress said it best. I'll add race teams plural. "I don’t think it showed any respect for his race team(s) or everyone who got him where he is,” Childress said.

Poor Richard has never said one thing "best." Ever.

What Revman thinks/makes up, and what really happened are two different things. Hamlin started off with the whopper of saying he has won 10,000 races, Reddick's credibility with job hopping is another issue. Giving your employer an hour notice you are leaving before the announcement but you still have 18 months of contract to fulfill is pure cut throat in my book. In other words I don't believe a word that comes out of ether's mouth. I do believe they deserve each other.

You are hanging your hat on what Poor Richard says....but those with agendas jump on those sound bites. Admirable that Tyler didn't get into a pissing match with the good ole boy.

Cutie Pie will be in that ride as long as Ally wants him in it. They are the ONLY reason why he is there. Should be fun when he gets jettisoned.....we will be talking about family references, etc.

G.M.A.C. changed their name to ALLY. :cuckoo:

GMAC has been a longtime sponsor of Hendrick Motorsports, providing support across multiple NASCAR series, including the Winston Cup, Busch Grand National, and Craftsman Truck Series.

GMAC changed its name to Ally in 2006, marking a shift towards becoming a full-service bank. Ally Financial, which sponsors Rick Hendrick Racing, has a rich history in automotive financing and has grown to offer a variety of financial services.

Yep, and if they want Cutie Pie, that is what they are going to get.
 
Pat Suhy retires as head of Chevy NASCAR effort. Going out with a thud.
 
I like how they tried to build excitement with how many free agents they have this year. But I think we'll see very little movement. Here's what I think happens

- Heim goes to the #35
- I think alex gets another year in the #48. I say 1 year to give Day another year.
- I think Busch goes to Spire, but in the #71
- If Busch leaves I think Love gets that seat over Hill
- The 3rd Legacy car could be interesting, but for some reason I see Riley getting it
 
Maybe I'm a Parker Retzlaff homer because he's from WI, but with the finishes he continues to get in Viking cars I can't see him making a big jump in level of equipment for next year. JR and Denny have both mentioned how impressive he is.

You cant?
 
Good article

Unless my math is wrong they say it's about 5 million a year less if you dont run a charter and with charters expected to sell for 100 million. 20 year ROI doesn't sound too appealing

It may be only $5 million if the car in question is a Rick Ware car or some other below-average runner. Trying to remember back to the antitrust lawsuit, my recollection is that the battle over the temporary injunction was roughly $25 million for 23XI and a little less for FRM... each team fielding three cars (and based on full-year amounts). My memory could be wrong, of course.

I do know it's a very complex analysis. There is a race purse bucket, available to all cars whether chartered or not. There is a race purse sweetener bucket for chartered cars only. There is a flat per-car charter payment, equal amount for all charters. There are also historical performance payments based on several years of results. And there is a year-end points fund for chartered cars. So, if Reilly Herbst's charter is worth an extra $5 or 6 million in Nascar payout, Tyler Reddick's charter could be worth half again as much (or more).

Regardless of the details, I certainly agree with your point about a lot of years to add up to $100 million. It could open up the possibility to run the 60 car unchartered for a while, until some owner is ready to sell a charter to RFK.

I just think there has to come a time soon that RWR can't afford to let Cody run around the track like he does now with the value of charters.

While I agree in principle, no one has yet received $100 million for a charter. When the next team wants to sell one, will there enough demand to support that price? Who's looking for one besides RFK?

I imagine Kaulig looking to bring Dodge in may, depending on if nascar would give them a manufacturer one. Also I could get see RCR wanting one. They have more drivers than seats right now

I think that NASCAR charters will vary widely in selling price depending on who wants out & who wants in. Where stick & ball franchises always seem to appreciate I don’t see that as always being the case for charters.
