    Mike Waltrip. Isn't he the guy that was trying to pull a fast one and got caught. Toyota pulled the plug and so did every sponsor he had minus the rental place. All those big team owners want this. It's less competition for them. Same thing happened in indy cars years ago. Gibbs wants that 78 team back under his roof, watch and see.

        JGR had a whole lot to do with the FRR fold - Then they hired their driver and crew chief. Win Win for JGR !

          Some guys i race with in iracing works at HMS. They say the rumors in the garage is that kyle busch is buying furniture row and running the 77 and 78 with kurt. Truex to the 18 or the 19 and suarez to Levine family racing. Truex wont go to stewart haas because toyota is behind truex.

            I hope it crashes and does get revamped. NASCAR needs to admit they made a mistake and stop trying to fix it with making a mockery out of their series and rules. Just go back to a regular races with the winner getting the most pts and the second getting the second most and so on. This isn’t the NFL. We don’t have playoffs in racing and clearly it hasn’t helped gain interest from more fans. Need to get back to your roots. Get out of those cookie cutter tracks and cars.

              Thats a lot of sponsorship to come up with. Thats reason furn row shutting down. Busch already found out how hard it was w his truck team. He wouldnt listen to what harvick had to say before he started team up.

                Nothing will change until the TV contract expires in 2024. The tracks get 65% of the TV money. That's how they get away with half full stands. The gate money is just gravy.

                    Because it's the only race worth watching or going to anymore......darlington will always be packed as long as they call it the southern 500 and race on Labor Day weekend.

                    Open rockingham and north wilksboro back up and i will edit this post.
                    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                        One of the best circle tracks ever.......for actual racing with passing and stuff.

                          Watched the race the other night and rather enjoyed the Broadcast with Jr and Dale Jarrett and Kyle Petty in the middle of the race. I agree on opening tracks like you mentioned back up. I give it 2 thumbs up.

                                I thought you're discussing furniture here, huh. I came here for a furniture brand recommendation, but found some ginnys com reviews instead. Anyways, thank you for raising such an interesting topic, I have read every post in this thread.
