The sport is in critical condition if they're looking to sell. As bad as it is from the outside, they wouldn't be looking to sell if they saw a path to turning it around. The books must be grim.

I just finished listening to Dale Jr's podcast with Kyle Busch and he was actually surprisingly fun on it.

Dale also wants to run the Richmond Xfinity race where he's the in race reporter only he's hot mic'd and can talk to them under green. That's also fun.


That's simultaneously an awesome and awful idea

NASCAR buying up ARCA makes a lot more sense with this development. It was never about integrating ARCA into NASCAR racing, it was about integrating ARCA's assets into the NASCAR portfolio to make it more attractive to buyers.

I swear to God if NASCAR kills ARCA due to this I won't watch NASCAR ever again.

Seems like they should consider this at this point. I mean back in the day, it's pretty obvious why they chose to race in a way that gave the driver the most protection between them and the wall, but now that the walls are safer, seems like it's not as big of a deal if you hit the wall...

But maybe they should try it with one of the 50 1.5 mile tracks though instead since they are all the loving same anyway.

Although the best clearly would be to run Stage 1 counterclockwise, then Stage 2 Clockwise, then Stage 3 counterclockwise again. That way they would have to spend 5 minutes on pit road adjusting the car to go the other way. :smug:
