NASCAR Silly Season and News

[JeffJordan]

Cool. Give him 1 year. Fails to perform, bye.

And for the record, I never believed Ty was anything special, dude was gift wrapped championship teams and failed to capitalize.

And while I looooove that Castrol scheme, I have NO clue how Atwood lasted as long as he did.

He'll certainly stick around more than a few years, with sponsorship. Bowman also ran a few seasons for a shit team and then moved to Hendrick and started doing well, and has been improving.

What I really want is Bubba/Chastain to the 42 and EJ to the 48. Jones has to go somewhere and he's easily the best talent on the market along with Kyle Larson*

I think Bubba to the #42 would be much more in line with what would/should happen

I mean people were shitting on Brandon Jones for the longest time and look at him right now with 3 wins in xfinity this year. It's wrong just to assume they will flop solely based on "hype". Drivers that prove people wrong are my favorite drivers to root for.

Mike Wallace has been indefinitely suspended.

NASCAR cited Wallace for a behavioral penalty outlined in the official rule book. He has made three NASCAR Xfinity Series starts this season.

Looks like 2020 will be the last year for Germain Racing.

 

[mtblillie]

That's not really a loss to competition, but is a sad (but inevitable) loss to the small teams group. Germain came a long way from being a winning truck team.

How can Denny be part of an ownership group when he's a driver for a 4 car team or did that rule change and I missed it?

Camping World returns to the truck series for 2021!

Sam Mayer will make Xfinity debut for JRM in 2021.

Suarez won't return to GBR in 2021.

Let me guess, Mayer in a hand full of races in the 8 in 2021, then to the 9 full time in 2022, with Gragson moving to the 48 in 2022...

Also, bummer for Suarez. There aren't really any viable rides for him, unless he goes to another field filler. Maybe the second Spire team?

Could be Bubba’s replacement in the 43.

 

[canadienhits]

So basically we're swapping 96 and 43 drivers. Also, what is old is new again in the truck series.

Conor Daly and Travis Pastrana will drive for Niece Motorsports at Las Vegas

Looks like a Cup Series dirt track race could happen in the future.

Larson to the 48. You heard it here first.

Larson to the 48. You heard it here first.

Right... the guy that has made zero effort to actually request reinstatement after meeting NASCAR's requirements to do so, and the guy who, more importantly, had his relationship with a specific manufacturer that's key to this wild theory, indefinitely terminated, is going to drive the 48. I really, really doubt Hendrick is going to run the 48 without support from Chevrolet. I also really, really, doubt that Ally is just going to allow him to drive the car too, seeing as they will have a large influence on the choice. Additionally, it's not like Larson's got a ton of sponsor backing these days that would fully replace Ally, if needed in the event that they go elsewhere as a result. Also, Larson seems to be enjoying his dirt racing, so much so that he hasn't requested reinstatement, and honestly, I doubt he'll want to drive for an owner who will limit the frequency of his participation in that discipline as what happened with Kahne. Why go back, when he's having more fun on dirt, and actually winning, a lot.

Frankly, all things considered, I think there's a better chance of me having ocean-front property for sale in Kansas, than Larson going to the 48 or Hendrick proper in any capacity...

I'm pretty sure he was joking
