That would make a lot of sense. An article recently came out about how well Monster’s market share has increased in the US, while Coke is cutting a large number of corporate management jobs and has had stagnant growth. Also coke’s A lot more of a ‘family friendly’ product than Monster’s extreme sports image.

The big discussion that I've heard rumors of is Coke wanting to take over sponsorship and move monster to another form of sponsorship in the series.
That would be massive for the sport.

Nascar is reaching the point where it needs to get something done for sponsorship in 2019. Monster appears to have most of the leverage given that Nascar doesn't really have a bunch of other companies fighting to sponsor the Cup Series.
NASCAR is getting itself in a tough spot.
quote:
[An] increasingly worrying lack of TV viewership coupled with a general investment pullback from sponsors and team owners has put NASCAR in a tight spot. The top eight NASCAR teams are now worth an average $158 million, down 2% from last year.
Perhaps the most worrying indicator is that some of NASCAR's biggest sponsors, the very lifeblood of the sport, have been scaling back their investments. Miller Lite, which has been a partner of Team Penske for nearly three decades, recently renewed its sponsorship agreement but dropped its seasonal commitment from 24 races to just 11 races.
And a significant number of sponsors have even walked away from the sport entirely: Target, Subway, Dollar General and Cheerios have all jumped ship in the last two years. Things aren't any better at the league level. Last year the series saw a significant drop in revenue from its title sponsorship after Monster took over for Sprint, and a few months ago Coors Light ended its partnership as NASCAR's official beer; that deal has yet to be replaced.
Last year Roush Fenway Racing leased one of its three charters, and this year the team sold that charter off, permanently scaling down to two cars. Once the most valuable team in NASCAR, Roush now ranks sixth with a value of $140 million, down 55% from $313 million a decade ago. Richard Childress Racing is also running just two cars this year, Richard Petty Motorsports is down to one and even Furniture Row Racing, which won last year's championship, has ditched one of its charters and returned to being a one-car outfit.

Has anyone been to Dover or Richmond for a race? If so, which one would be the best experience?

Been to Dover but not Richmond.
Dover has a casino right next to it if that is your thing. Race was meh
Have friends that have done both and Richmond was the better of the two, hands down. The night race at Richmond is legit

How many fricking times will people bring up the downturn of NASCAR since the 90s? It's a dead horse beaten to a pulp already, it's heading back towards the popularity of the 70s and 80s. We get it.

Have been to the Richmond night race and it was a good one. We camped right outside of turn 1.

since he’s Mexican, does the Coke taste better and come in a glass bottle instead?

50+ mph wind gusts in Vegas today and tomorrow, Kyle going for the triple this weekend.
Blaney picked up Bodyarmor as a partial sponsor.

I like it. I hope Blaney does well. I like Penske. I know no here likes the rich boy Yankees though.

Kyle wins truck race - first truck race win in Vegas.

Of course you are.

Yesterday's Xfinity race was pretty good, hope to see a repeat today. Feels like it's starting super late though

15 and 48 having problems in inspection - both have failed 3 times. One more failure and they're not racing today.
