Maybe important sponsor news: The company that owns Budweiser has agreed in principle to merge with the company that owns Miller. No idea what that would mean for anything yet, but that's a thing that's happening.

I think Junior's new scheme looks pretty rad, that picture you linked is kind of deceiving. The video that unveiled it shows that it has more of a silver/chrome shine on the sides that makes it work really well. I do think his Nationwhide scheme from this year is fantastic though, so they shouldn't have changed it.

Low downforce package is full-time next year.quote:NASCAR Announces Base 2016 Rules Package: NASCAR announced the base NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rules package to be used during the 2016 season. The package was delivered to teams after an extensive collaborative process between NASCAR and industry stakeholders. The base package will include a 3.5-inch spoiler, a 0.25-inch front leading splitter edge and a 33-inch wide radiator pan. These components will provide lower downforce on the cars, and Goodyear will develop tires to complement them. Earlier this season, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Kentucky Speedway and Darlington Raceway featured a similar aero package. "NASCAR has worked tirelessly with our teams, drivers, manufacturers and Goodyear to develop a rules package that provides fans with the best racing possible," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. "The success of the races at Kentucky and Darlington in similar trim proved extremely valuable in accelerating rules development for 2016. Now, as teams have even more time to prepare and a strong baseline of data, we anticipate the racing to be even better." Characteristics of the lower downforce rules package includes more off-throttle time for drivers and decreasing corner speeds. This generates more passing zones over the entire track, and allows for multiple tire combinations to be levered. In addition to the base package, each track will continue to feature specific rules, including tire combinations and drive train configurations, to create the best racing for each track length, layout and surface. Rear gear ratios will be adjusted to maintain a maximum engine speed of 9,000 RPM and a 1.38 third gear ratio will be used at all tracks smaller than 1.25 miles. The digital dashboard, which was optional for teams during the second half of this season, will be mandatory in all vehicles. "Our team at the NASCAR R&D Center is constantly looking at the racing, and evaluating ways to continue to improve it," O'Donnell said. "Using science and technology and qualitative data compiled from world-class engineers throughout the industry as our guideposts, we will always look to make the racing better for our fans." Several safety updates have been instituted, including a double NACA duct where a right-hand side window is used, a fire suppression system activation cable routed to the dash or right-hand side leg board and a seat belt restraint system that meets SFI 16.6 specification.

Someone please explain to me how this package might suit Jeff Gordon's driving style so I can feel feelings ranging from relief/indifference to absolute rage depending upon how a 2016 season might have played out.

Yeah he was top dog in Hendrick at Kentucky with this and didn't see Darlington so this package would've probably given an up year to him but we can only speculate. We'll see if Stewart gets one last resurgence next year.

for one, when you monetize the value of a team and remove risk from the team owner, you open up team ownership to corporate entities that can buy out small teams and run as financial assets

I'd rather have corporate entities fielding competitive teams than start and parks to be honest.

ah yes, because a corporate owned team will give 100% at all times and not view start and parking as a smart business decision also the Spurs really were a 20-62 team the year before they drafted Duncan

The format I heard about basically cuts the purse by about 40% for teams without franchise spots. Yeah, I can't find any solid info anywhere. But right now its basically impossible to break into the sport with a new team. When NASCAR had money rolling in you had all these outside guys with money joining up and making new teams, and NASCAR basically took all their money without giving anything in return and I bet they really regret missing the opportunity to lock them into the sport. It is already a faux franchise system anyway, you have de facto engine supply companies, chassis companies, etc that you have to contract anyway, but contracting them is wasteful for time and money and new teams get poo poo equipment from them. I totally understand there is the possibility of it being implemented in the worst way imaginable but you never know. I seriously doubt they consider the long term future of the sport tenable without making some move.

I don't think any of the specifics have been made public yet. I think NASCARspeak for the franchises has changed from "medallions" to "charters"
