ckf Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Another sponsor bites the dust. MillerCoors not renewing deal with NASCAR UPDATE: NASCAR officially is in the hunt for a new beer sponsor, as MillerCoors will not renew Coors Light's deal as the official beer of the sanctioning body. The sides were not able to come to an agreement to renew the deal that expires on Sunday despite last-ditch efforts by NASCAR in recent weeks to salvage some form of a pact. The sides confirmed the move Friday but declined to comment further. Coors Light sponsored the pole award winner every week. Sister brand Miller Lite is remaining in the sport with an 11-race deal with Team Penske, meaning the company -- now owned fully by Molson Coors Brewing Co. -- is not exiting NASCAR as a whole. It will be a challenge for NASCAR to find a large-scale beer partner to replace MillerCoors, as the marketplace has changed to focus on more micro and craft brews, while consolidation has also impacted sponsorship spending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think they should shorten the races and only allow so many tires and take some tech out of the cars....so the best drivers win...not the most money.

2strokemerc Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Too many stoppages in play. I get bored easy so as soon as they come to the end of a stage or throw a yellow I change the channel. But I do this with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well go to the local short track then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better racing there. As for races being shorter....who wants to see a bunch of guys that have zero chance of winning coasting around a track for 500 miles? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted December 30, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 30, 2017 Make the last 10 or 15 laps have to be green. If a yellow drops at lap 9 it should stay lap 9 till the green drops again. These green white checkered finishes suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an article in Winston Cup Scene years ago. It was some of the stuff Beatty had seized over the years. The 'creative engineering' was pretty surprising. If a team is blatantly cheating (out of specs or illegal mat'l) I can see them being penalized. But the whole idea of the team coming up w/ something that NASCAR doesn't specifically prohibit (until it is found) sucks. If the dimensions are so tight that teams can't play, they may as well have them race IROCs. NASCAR tossed a JJ car during inspection because it was 'legal but too close' to the tolerance. WTF? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Got this email from Andrew a few minutes ago. It would be nice to see more FreedomSledder Nascar fans join in the fun this year Happy New Year! We’re probably 2 weeks or less away until the pool will be ready to go for the 2018 season! Going to expand the payout to the top 5 finishing positions and other payouts since the pool has grown to 89 entries, looking to break the 100 team mark this season. Any other suggestions or comments, let me know. 47 days until Daytona! Thanks, Andrew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
