Yep. More reason to love Junior.

He needs to be the NASCAR president down the road. At least the competition director. He'd be terrific!


Yeah he would be. He addresses this stuff on his podcast, which is great, other than his jock sniffing buddy/business partner.

Jr. knows what the sport needs and will call out some of the dumber shite the sport does.

He’s railed on a couple things lately... Bristol Dirt, going to the wrong Nashville speedway, Busch Clash on the Daytona Road Course rather than super speedway.

He’s in a position where he doesn’t have to say shite and everybody will still worship him, but he’s moved from driver to becoming an analyst of the whole business model pretty well.

Changing networks is bull shite. I recorded the race and didn't get to see the finish

Some updates on Silly Season:

Someone predicted Larson to 48 will get announced this week.
Dibenedetto still doesn't know what the 21 will do.
Jones is still trying to find a ride.... pointing to the 37.
No one knows about the 14.... whether Bowyer or Briscoe.
Suarez may go to Justin Marks' new team Trackhouse... I still see him going to the 43.
Ty Dillon is also a candidate for the 43... though he may go back to Xfinity.

Nothing else has really made waves or anything.

Bowyer is destined for the booth. I love his humor.
I can see Ty Dillon in the 43.
Suarez has no business in cup.

I disagree on Suarez. He belongs. The guy was practically on par with Almirola and Bowyer the one year he was teammates to them. Hopefully he finds something and someone that’s willing to build around him.

If he still has the Arris sponsorship, he'll find a seat.

He's almost as bad of a driver as he is an I-Racer

Does Penske want to keep Matt D after Keselowski's contract is up in 2021?

Larson in the 5
Bowman in the 48
Byron in the 24
Elliot in the 9


That’s a good team.

Daniel Suarez will drive the 99 Chevy for Justin Marks' new team TrackHouse Racing.

The team will have an alliance with Richard Childress Racing.

Hopefully they can grab a charter from the Rick Ware shitboxes. Marks is loaded, so hopefully the team can hit the ground running.

They are leasing one of Spire's two charters.

Good News/Bad News for Matt DiBenedetto:

Bad News: The plan is for Austin Cindric to drive the 21 in 2022, regardless of how Matty D performs.

Good News: Matt gets 41 races to prove himself in good equipment. Make playoffs and win some races.... should become one of the top free agents.

Here's the x-factor in all of this: If Brad Keselowski leaves Penske next year, all of this becomes moot. Cindric will be at Pesnke in that case.

This is as good a deal as Matt could have hoped for.

Where would Brad go if Penske doesn't resign him? I don't see him at racing retirement age as of yet.

I think two options:

1. Hendrick - Bowman is a free agent after next year. Brad still may have the urge to drive for who he thought would he'd drive for early in his career.

2. He revives his truck team and brings them to Cup as an owner/driver. He wants to be a Cup owner eventually.

Yeah this makes sense. Brad is very good friends w/Junior and it was Junior who found him and gave him his first break in the Nationwide Series.

Clint Bowyer to the Fox booth in 2021.

Briscoe or Larson to the 14. Think that is clear cut.

Larson has applied for reinstatement. Him to Hendrick is happening soon.

Jr. says he heard the 88 will be the 5. I wonder if 57 is in play.

Forgot to mention that Chase won the Roval.4th straight road course win. 2 away from tying Gordon's record. His road course chops are w/o peer right now.

BTW, Happy 46th birthday to Junior. It was last Saturday.
