'21 Generation 7 Car news

But but but when you click on the drivers section of this site they have many errors like listing drivers to their 2020 rides when they no longer have a contract. Matty D still in the 21 car,
Some portions of the site are updated, some aren't. It's common in the off-season.
 
Daytona test will be streamed tomorrow and Wednesday on NASCAR YouTube Channel per Zack Albert, Content Manager, NASCAR.com. Hell yes! Love this. #BossIsComingHitTheTab
 
Dale Jr. to test at Daytona per Pockrass apparently because Hendrick drivers are busy with their hobbies. #WorksForMe #Priorities
 
Well I'm going to take a guess on the Hendrick TBD. Because Chase and Bowman Chili Bowl qualifying is Monday, Larson is Tuesday. So it's either Elliott or Bowman.
Listening to the Chili Bowl, they say it's Jr. Larson isn't going to fly back there and miss his practice at the Bowl, so Jr is filling in. Stewart Haas says they have all of the information they need so nobody is going. They say if they need any info they will get it from one of their affiliates.

Don't want to take chance of wrecking cars.
 
You are saying the risk of wrecking cars had ZERO influence?
once again Stewart Haas said theor reason was that they have all of the information they need. You're free to think anything ya want. I THINK I will go with the reason they said.
 

Do NASCAR drivers have to have a competition license to test or compete on a NASCAR sanctioned track like NHRA drivers do? They used to have to make at least one run every year at a certain et and speed in the type of car they are going to be racing to keep their license valid but now it is every 2 years. They still do have to do a medical card and paperwork every year. They are licensed to drive in certain classes. For instance, an alcohol funny car license is not valid to drive a nitro funny car. Thats why when I worked with Del Worsham we had to rent the Dallas track to upgrade Alexis DeJoria's alcohol license so she could start competing in a nitro funny car. We did the same thing when we rented the Las Vegas and Denver tracks to license a few other drivers. It can be pretty expensive if someone lets their license expire because they may have to pay a team between $30,000 $50,000 to help get them relicensed.
 
^ do you think Dale Jr. testing at Daytona would be disqualified because he doesn't have a Nascar competition license?
 
But he does I would think since he does his Xfinity race
Thats why I asked the earlier question about what license do they have to carry. Does one license cover Arca, Truck, Xfinity and Cup? Maybe Spotter 22 has more info on this subject. I'm curious to know how they operate their licensing program.
 
It's not uncommon for an Xfinity driver to be an emergency, race-day substitute for a Cup driver. This has included X drivers with no previous Cup experience. This would indicate that a license to drive X also covers Cup participation, at least at a track where the driver already has experience.

It may be because there is not that much difference in the speed between Xfinity and Cup cars. But there is a major difference in the speeds and the way they accelerate between the different drag racing cars and the classes they run in.
 

If you want to know the truth,” Earnhardt told NBC Sports in an exclusive interview Monday, “I probably texted Chad Knaus (Hendrick vice president of competition) about six times, asking him if they would let me run a few laps at the test.”

Earnhardt drove a Next Gen car after a Goodyear tire test in October at Bowman Gray Stadium. He sought to run more laps in the new car to gain a better perspective of the vehicle and share that knowledge with viewers in his NASCAR on NBC analyst duties.

Knaus wasn’t the only person Earnhardt asked to run a few laps for at the organizational test Tuesday and Wednesday at Daytona. But Knaus responded with the best offer.

“I’ll do whatever you need, anything you need,” Earnhardt said he told Knaus.

“Well, all our guys are going to the Chili Bowl, so there may be an opportunity to do the whole day,” Knaus told Earnhardt.

I like the way this all worked out because now the rest of the drivers can concentrate on the Chili Bowl. It's a win win for everyone.
