Chase Elliot seems to be legit but it seems like he has some seriously high expectations put on him

Takes some guts to jump into the seat of the 24

Wish him all the best. Will probably still root for him for nostalgia reasons.

Yeah that last name helps I would imagine


Now the Blaney kid, the last name might hurt a little

This new charter deal seems like a crock of shite to me. Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards have to buy a charter from Michael Waltrip?

All 36 charters are guaranteed into the race?? What about qualifying?

Field of 40 now, no longer 43.

36 charters guaranteed a spot weekly with the non medallion teams competing for the final 4 spots under current qualifying rules.

So basically the same number of cars will be racing, minus the same 3 who always have "mechanical problems" 10 laps in.

Big Joe Nemechek!

How awesome would it be if there were actually 40 competitive cars?

Just heard about this charter thing today and don't know much about it but is it really a reduced field to 40? I hate to hear that but it was necessary considering the start and parks and hopefully will increase the winnings for each team with 3 less cars, this is assuming they aren't jackasses and reduced the purse which I'm sure they didn't
