Racing Discussion Thread

There is no reason Tony couldn't give the #10 his owners points and let Reutimann run with her that way. Then both Danica and Blaney could be locked in. But whatever, Dave has gotten them locked in once, he can do it again.

Apparently TBR only has 8 races with sponsorship, and all of those are for Blaney. Reutimann has no races sold and Blaney has virtually no races sold.

Big Red has left Tommy Baldwin and NASCAR Sprint Cup...And will be sponsoring...


Austin Self.

Fucking really? Lol. I was hoping they would stick around with TBR. AllSport schemes always looked great.

I spent 25 minutes typing this thing..Im not letting it get buried to a previous page 5 minutes after it was posted.

Really?

lol

Since Tony Stewart will be in the 33, Danny Efland and Sinica Motorsports will be at Daytona in the #4 Chevy.

Shame to see no Pugs at the 24hr list...

The Arca entry list has moved Milka Duno from the Sheltra #63 to an un-numbered Eddie Sharp Racing Chevy. ESR hasn't announced their 3rd truck driver yet. Sweet jesus, YES.

God I hope this means nothing for the 3rd truck...

I say give her a shot. JWT is in the Trucks too, so the fabricators have fair warning.

I'd rather have the reports of Chad McCumbee driving full-time in the Truck Series (you know... a guy who actually has talent?) drive the 3rd ESR ride than Milka Duno who has little to no talent and can barely run top 20 in ARCA for god's sake...

Oh lord.

Nascar released the start times for all the cup races, the only change is that the Darlington race starts at 7:00 rather than 7:30, and still no night race for Kansas...

@JakeSnakeCrum
Jake Crum
Jake will pilot the #0 Bandit Chippers Dodge Ram during the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season opener at Daytona...

Also, Paulie Harraka will be driving one of the Venturini Motorsports entries at Daytona for ARCA.

Alli Owen's Nationwide deal has fallen apart due to sponsorship issues...

Global Rallycross is now a...NASCAR Support Series. Their 5 races this year will happen at NASCAR tracks generally on the same day as the Nationwide races. They will have one standalone race in Las Vegas. One of the races will be at the Texas Indycar race.

Wow...


http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2012/02/06/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/Global-RallyCross.aspx

Now how are they going to pull that off? Where will the actual course be on each track?

I assume most GRC tracks will have to be outside of the NASCAR tracks. I doubt they will have time to setup and take down a rally track in the time after races. Also, they will still be having the 70 foot jumps and everything.

Found this picture of Jeff Gordon which looks to be the 2013 Chevy behind him. From the looks of it, it still looks like the Impala.
