Forcing all the Cup teams/drivers into modifieds would actually be super rad.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

I'm going to keep saying it until it isn't true, Larson needs to start winning. He choked away another race, and "rebounding" to 4th doesn't cut it anymore. For all of his talent, he's getting to be overrated.

I think from time to time, backmarker teams would occasionally sit it out.

quote:

One example of the frustration was evident after NASCAR made an unexpected announcement last month that it was purchasing the smaller ARCA stock car racing series. Rob Kauffman, co-owner of Chip Ganassi Racing and chairman of the Race Team Alliance, tweeted after the announcement, “Wow. @NASCAR consolidating monopoly power. Need to check @RaceTeamAllianc legal #thesqueezeiscoming.”

Kauffman wouldn’t elaborate on the tweet, but sources familiar with his thinking said the hashtag was a reference to the possibility that teams could fight to reset the sport’s current revenue-distribution model after 2020. The expiring charter agreement and track sanction deals combine to make 2020 clearly one of the most pivotal years in the sport’s history. While there are questions about how much leverage teams would have, more extreme options could be to strike or form a breakaway series.

NASCAR’s purchase of ARCA has led some to question the motive behind the move. NASCAR’s premier series teams are barred under the charter from joining other U.S.-based stock car racing series, sources said. Taking ARCA out of the picture would make it much more challenging for renegade NASCAR teams to break away and start a rival series at the end of the charter, since they would have to start from scratch.

Also:

quote:

In NASCAR’s defense, sources say some senior executives at the sanctioning body are interested in trying midweek races; the opposition appears to mostly be coming from track owners fearful of losing ticket revenue.

e- Doesn't JGR have an ARCA team or is that somebody fielding a car for them?
