The future of Racing ?


General

Great points, Steve. If managed properly, it has a bright future ahead of it. Think about it.. modified production cars that are way more appealing to the 18-34 year old male demographic than big family sedans, participating in a form of racing that even a non-motorsport fan would stop to watch yet at the same time, appealing to tuners and hard core motorsport fans also, as attested by you both enjoying it.

Even though the series is self owned at the moment, it's not a stretch to think that someone like Bruton Smith could buy it at some point and slowly try to go up against NASCAR with it. It already races on a lot of his facilities. Although this style of racing does not even need a permanent racing facility and they were just being held at Bruton's tracks during NASCAR or Indycar weekends to grab new fans.

As we know, Bruton ran NSCRA, a competitor of NASCAR from 1949 to 1951, before its dissolution due to mismanagement following his being drafted. Since then he has always wanted to launch a rival series to NASCAR using his own tracks, with rumours to that effect surfacing as recent as the late 90s.

NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers Appear in Unusual Place on TV


Stock Car Racing History

Thanks for scanning, Dave. Kind of off-topic I guess but the cute brunette to the left of Herschel looks very similar to Patricia Richardson of 'Home Improvement' TV show fame. Wonder if it could be her before TV.

Dale, Jr. : "I Dont Even Want to go to Daytona and Talladega Next Year"


Current NASCAR

Plate racing makes me ashamed of being a NASCAR fan. Atleast the Chase needs to be free of this sadistic joke that we laughably catergorize as racing.

R.I.P. Cecil Flash" Gordon


General

RIP. Having started to follow NASCAR only in the late 90s, first time I heard of him was while watching Jr's Back in the Day show that played the old Bud Lindemann Car and Track race reviews and thinking how coincidental it was that this Gordon drove a #24 too.

Allmendinger Back to Penske?


General

I'd love to see him in a Penske Indycar next year. That's his roots and the oval racing experience he picked up in NASCAR will only make him more formidable over there.

Tim, Chad was just mad that he and Jimmie didn't think of taking advantage of the vague merge rules first. ;)
