Some silly season notes.
Notes From The Athletic Article:
• Martin Truex Jr’s status is still up in the air for 2024. From a JGR source, “In the spring I was convinced he was coming back. But, today, I’m not as certain.”
• If Truex doesn’t return Toyota has a contingency plan in place being John Hunter Nemechek
• Denny Hamlin will be back w JGR in 2024 it’s just a matter of when the deal gets done.
• “A resolution on Front Row Motorsports’ 2024 Cup lineup is expected soon. This timeline being a departure of how the team typically operates, often waiting until the offseason to set its roster.”
• Carson Hocevar ha? been linked to several prominent Cup and Xfinity teams. Team he’s most linked to is Spire Motorsports as a candidate to replace the struggling Ty Dillon in the No.77
• Multiple SHR sources believe it’s a “very good chance” Aric Almirola steps away from full-time racing.
• Michael McDowell and Zane Smith have been mentioned as candidates for the potential No. 10 opening but a lot is dependent on Smithfield Foods returning as primary sponsor. If they don’t return, SHR could look to a driver who brings funding for the No. 10
• Kaulig Racing is reportedly talking to four different candidates for the No. 31, with Austin Hill being the favorite as he brings on track success and sponsorship money.
• Austin Hill is “in demand” as Kaulig is not the only offer he has. Hill told The Athletic that it was “50/50” whether he’d move to Cup or return to Xfinity.
• Harrison Burton is expected to return for a 3rd season in the No. 21 for the Wood Brothers.
• Shane Van Gisbergen believed to be moving to NASCAR full-time in 2024. In addition to Trackhouse, at least one other team is believed to be open to the possibility of signing SVG
• Legacy Motor Club could be replacing Noah Gragson with John Hunter Nemechek in the No. 42 car in 2024.
• On Gragson “The underperformance isn’t all Gragson’s fault - he is a rookie, after all, with a rebuilding organization. Still, sometimes it’s not just a great fit between driver and team. And nothing has been determined; there’s still the possibility that Gragson returns for a 2nd year.”
• Legacy and Toyota are “very high on” Erik Jones who will continue in the No. 43 car.
Also two other bits that came out today. Lajoie re-signs with spire. I think Andretti ends up either buying in or buying out spire.
SVG running the truck race for Niece at IRP. That will be interesting.

Agreed.
At best, it's gross negligence. At worst, it's just plain stupidity.
