23XI statement on not signing Charter agreement

[Conover]

Well, NASCAR and their defenders have been in here for a minute saying that the teams need to cut costs. The top line cost for just about every business is personnel. My guess is they're mostly happy to not be as concerned about laying people off. In fact, they're more likely now to need more staff.

Oh don’t worry…BIG spender Denny “BIG CHEESE BUSINESS GURU” Hamcrap has a bonanza spread laid out for him after this. No longer must he worry that his excesses can’t get covered by revenues. My bet is they throw another massive New Year’s party using 25% of the settlement, since “they take care of their people”……

Now, reality dose here folks….I’m glad this is over, I’m glad these teams are going to have a better position relative to revenue streams, and I’m even glad the employees at Cabal Central will continue to have their jobs in this sport. We all love racing, and I’m wanting the best for the NASCAR series. I continue to despise Hampuke and all the nut job self possessed garbage he brings to the table. I hope this doesn’t ultimately create a huge barrier to entry for future race teams due to charter cost. I also hope ALL TEAMS understand that this thing can slide backwards badly if they keep beating up on NASCAR and the France family. They deserve their lumps for making this worse, but everybody now has to kiss, make up, and get back in the station wagon. The sport of “premier stock car racing” has a lot of headwinds now and more coming. It’s going to be challenging to grow, and vital to stop the slide of fans and viewership. The next TV contract could be much lower relative to this one.

The question has to be asked is when JGR will cut ties with Denny: sometime soon or after this coming season? Denny made them all look bad and I can't imagine him being an employee of JGR much longer.

Denny made them look bad? How so? My limited memory seems to recall, Heather Gibbs, wife to the late Coy Gibbs and officer of JGR, was in favor or teams owning charters. Seems to me she sent a letter stating such. I'm at a loss how this makes them or Denny look bad.

Hey NASCAR, this would be a good time to announce your new point system and championship format. You know, give the talking heads (and Twitterville) something else to talk about other than your embarrassing capitulation on the antitrust lawsuit.

At this point, we don't know (and may never know) what was in the agreement, there could be a cost cap in it! Supposedly the teams wanted one.
