- Start date
It wouldn’t work at basically any other track because running up high is a legit strategy and anyone in front could be just enough in the way.
Incredible moment, but I think they’ll probably have to make a rule against it (or move Martinsville off a cut-off date) because you’ll have anybody with nothing to lose trying it every cutoff race there.
Nah. Can’t do that. Lots of cars hit the wall and can keep going.
Here is a great article by Ryan McGee about the move by Ross and why NASCAR shouldn't jump the gun to make changes.

I was a Jimmie Johnson fan from his first year in NASCAR so this is exciting news for me.
Hey Coach Gibbs, maybe you should just come out and condemn the kid for screwing up instead of making excuses for him.

I have been watching the Race for the Championship and it has been really good. I was surprised they just completely skimmed over the Bubba Wallace incident on this weeks episode. They completely missed an opportunity there but I guess they didn't want to make him look worse than what he had already made himself look.
NASCAR's Most Elusive Retiree Is Busy Sailing the Ocean
Carl Edwards is up for NASCAR Hall of Fame consideration this summer.
Ty Gibbs not racing today because of family emergency. Lots of drivers starting to tweet their prayers to the Gibbs family.
Main rumor I’ve Seen is Coy Gibbs, Ty’s father passed away. If so, very sad no matter what you think of the kid.
But, nothing confirmed at the moment. Daniel Hemric rumored to be the replacement driver.

Much respect for his career and he’s probably a nice guy. Seems like a whiny twerp though.
Feel awful for Ty to have to go through this at age 20. Regardless of personal feelings, even for Joe losing both Coy and JD in 2019. At least Coy got to see his son finish the job with the Xfinity Championship. Ty will grow up and mature on the track as time comes. Something like this may even make it faster.

If NASCAR can't get a date for a points race there, an All-Star race like North Wilkesboro in 2023 would be nice.Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway renovation, NASCAR one step closer to reality

As expected though the #18 will be going away for the time being. Intend to use it again in the future.

NASCAR: Denny Hamlin and FedEx's contracts expire after 2023
Denny Hamlin and FedEx's contracts with Joe Gibbs Racing are reportedly set to expire at the conclusion of the 2023 NASCAR season.

I guess Tony Stewart won out since Preece is moving up to the 41 car and Cole Custer is going down to the X-Finity series. I wonder if it's just until Harvick retires and then Custer moves to the 4?
NASCAR Possibly Ending Stage Cautions at Certain Tracks in 2023, According to New Report
NASCAR is considering making a major change in 2023 that would include ending stage cautions at certain tracks, according to a new report.

I can't say that would disappoint me in the least to get rid of stages, stage points and even the cutoff races. I think Brian France must have came up with it while stoned out of his mind one night. I listened to the Dale Jr podcast from last week where Brian was the guest and he is still an arrogant little twit despite his fall from grace.
I'd prefer heats over stages/no stages. I know it won't happen because someone with a big sponsor could possibly not make the finals, but it sure would be more exciting, IMO.
If any of you guys listen to the Dale Jr podcast let me know what you think about the one with Scott Bloomquist and if not you should take a listen. That dude is out there. 👽😂😂
Need to check that one out. I did take a listen to the one with Brian France Friday night.
My favorite Dale JR Download was the compilation of cheating stories they did. DW's stories are hilarious.
I agree that one was great and I also liked the one where they recapped all the drivers he's had one who talked about the beef they had with other drivers.My favorite Dale JR Download was the compilation of cheating stories they did. DW's stories are hilarious.
Definitely, every time one of the drivers that Jr or Dale Sr had a rift with makes for a great show when they come on. I like how they joke about bringing other drivers in to squash their beef like the Lajoie/Buckshot Jones going at each other in their episodes.
I never knew the Burton brothers had a beef until I heard it on his podcast. Racing is serious for some of those dudes. 🤣

The championship should rotate tracks like all other sports do venues. It’d be nice to see it at Charlotte, Bristol, Daytona, Richmond, etc
Like the idea of rotating the venues. Can't ever see a road course or superspeedway getting more than a cutoff race. A neutral track is the best idea for a winner take all race in which the champion is decided in the last race.
And you're not going to see the final race at those tracks. Would be crazy to suggest NASCAR to determine a champion on a wildcard track like a restrictor plate race and road course racing is ugly as hell right now with all of these rovals on the schedule.
