That's a legit fight.

Pretty crap race today.

Great news about the modifides, I need to get to a race or two this summer. I'm actually thinking about seeing if my local track needs an extra pair of hands for...whatever. I'm really bored with my job and I'm looking for different outlets and spending my Saturday nights at the track a few times a month doesn't sound so bad.

Edit- Looking at the final points standings for Super Dirt Car from last year and, holy poo poo, Matt Shepard put the hammer down. Twelve wins in 25 starts? 21 Top 5s? He only won the championship by 71 points because he apparently missed two races, but that's a curb stomping in every other way.

e- Neither of those Tweets seem to be embedding. If they don't show up in my post later, the Tweets say NASCAR is exploring a system beyond 2019 where they may not even have a title sponsor and are also making it sound like they may not want Monster back anyway. :psyduck:

A top-flight league not having an entitlement sponsor isn't completely unprecedented. The English Premier League is one of the most popular soccer competitions in the world, and they turned down entitlement sponsorship to essentially become their own entitlement sponsor and put their brand out there as-is.

Of course, a lot of the individual clubs of the EPL are worth more than the whole of NASCAR. But go on, NASCAR! See how going solo works out for you.

Considering how much supposedly Monster paid them and how little actual promotion Monster is doing they kind of already are flying solo.

Yeah if the big entitlement sponsorship structure isn't working might as well start shifting how things are done. It's probably smarter than begging Kroger for peanuts in 2020 or whatever

Thinking about it, no other major stick-and-ball league in the US has a title sponsor (i.e., the Gatorade National Football League, the NHL presented by CCM, etc), but NASCAR sounding like they want rid of somebody who might have been willing to continue to pay them $20M/year ("...or that we will be having them back") is a new one for even NASCAR.

Let's just all watch this instead:

How many sport leagues actually do have an entitlement sponsor? I mean it's not the Denny's Grand Slam Baseball League or the Hooters Football League. The major sport leagues in the US is just the MLB, NFL, & NBA.

The major national sports leagues in the U.S. and around the world don't need a sponsor to activate and keep the league in the public mind. When you're in every major city playing every week/several times a week/every day, it's in everyone's mind all the time.

Compare this to a racing series. NASCAR is on every week, but it's only in one place at a time. It's like a circus. (Complete with clowns!) NASCAR is going to do the heavy promoting when it's coming to town, but there needs to be some level of constant promotion/buzz outside of that time window and particular place for that local promotion to be more effective. An entitlement sponsor with skin in the game can do that with national commercials, in-store promotions, etc.

There's also the fact that racing is increasingly becoming more attractive in the B2B arena. Indycar has been tracking that way for a while, and I have a suspicion that its next title sponsor will have as much of an interest in catering to other businesses as much as they do Joe Consumer. If NASCAR doesn't have a title sponsor like that, and they continue down the road of dwindling fans/less overall sponsor interest… where else are they going to get the money from?

That was a good-rear end NXS AND Bristol race with the first proper Bristol wrecks I've seen in years. I'm hoping New Old Bristol is to the point where it's a one groove track again.

I know Indy was drat lucky too. Qualifying for the 500 had rain but other than that, no race was delayed due to the weather (and Watkins Glenn race was declared wet, but that's a different matter since it's a road course).
