I've always thought the BIGGEST problem with both Fox and NBC coverage is much more of a production truck issue than an on air issue. I think the direction they get makes the booth look a lot worse than ANY of them actually are, Clint being the possible exception. He's just not very good. Also...

If the three charter deal were to actually happen, I pretty much see it this way. Rick would "sell" the 48 team to JRM in sweetheart deal and the 48 becomes Hendrick's version of the 21 for Penske, the non-fourth car fourth car.

If Gene and Tony were actually going broke, I would tend to agree with your position. The fact that neither one will be missing any meals says to me that they can do a LOT better by their employees than leaving everyone in suspended animation. Tony in particular has been on all sides of this...

NASCAR has done very little to grease the skids for the double, regardless of who was trying to do it.

As a Chase fan, I kind of hope he DOES lose the MPD. Just like with Dale Jr, it's used far more as a dig against him than anything positive, and I'm quite sure HE doesn't give a crap.

It sure would be nice if the sanctioning bodies could see the forest for the trees and realize what a PR and marketing coup doing the double is for BOTH series and stop with the silly rules and conflicting schedules and make this all easier, not harder. The rule about not being able to put a...

I can see it now; "This 18 car Talladega pile up brought to you by LKQ Pick-A-Part!"

Been thinking about one of those carbs for the Chevelle. What were you running before?

I don't think it's unfair to point out that for a long time Toyota seemed to have a lot more drivers in the pipeline then they had potential seats for. With the addition of 23XI and Legacy, I think that argument is largely moot now. Since you couldn't help yourself and threw the "felon" into...

Quite possible. One forgets now what a dumpster fire Haas was before Tony came on board. Giving someone half of that organization would be like giving them 100,000 share of K-Mart stock at the time.

Agreed, capital gain is a better term it.

I'm sure he is, but the question is did Tony ever actually put any of his own money into the team, or was he given an ownership stake for signing on? If so, his stake could represent a handsome if not a huge profit.

Hate to disagree, but I think Tony's interest in NASCAR really only ever went as far as his own driving career. I think he has basically been disengaged since the day he got out of the car. I always felt that for Tony, NASCAR was more of a means to an end than a true calling. Much like what...

My only counterpoint to that is if the Pocono wreck was so ingrained in the back of his mind, I don't think he does Indycars, especially the ovals. His qualifying run for the 500 was as ballsy as it gets.

Even though SUV's and crossovers dominate the market, cars like the Camry and Accord are proof there IS a market for sedans IF you offer the right product. It wasn't that long ago that Chevy was offering THREE sedans, and was never quite able to hit the mark with any of them, even though I know...

But they DO sell a front engine coupe, and Chevrolet doesn't do that either. There has to be some end game here, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is. I simply do not buy the notion of Cadillac Cup and or Xfinity cars, so it just seems to me there has to be SOMETHING out there that...

That would go a LONG way towards making the 21 competitive again. I think that would be a nice fit.

If you can't win in a JGR Xfinity car, you can't win ANYWHERE. That's a real compliment to JGR, but it's also a warning to everyone else that success there doesn't automatically mean success anywhere else. Take Brandon Jones for example. He was punted out of a spot in the final four by Ty...

He brought that sponsorship over from JGR, a ride he probably wouldn't have gotten without their money either. I don't know what the connection is, but they have been FIRMLY behind him for quite some time.

But cashing the big check from Dex was more important.
