Thought he might get a stay with his recent performance but as typical, these drivers always improve when they get their notice to vacate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe JR Motorsprts? I'd like to see Beuscher in the 5 or Cole Whitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwytohell Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The wheel man better have a sponsor that has proven monies for a multi year deal. The brickyard only had 35k in the seats on race day. francecar is in deep trouble under bottom of the bottle brainless brian's leadership. I have to wonder if some tracks will have to close and will the sport decline into the dust pan of history like , ASA , AHRA , IHRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder if some tracks will have to close and will the sport decline into the dust pan of history like , ASA , AHRA , IHRA. Nascar was booming, building seats and adding tracks up until the recession hit 10 years ago. Then people stopped buying seats. Same thing happened in a lot of sports. But Nascar has continued to fall while the others have basically held their ground. Why? I have my thought but I'm sure people a lot brighter than me are trying to put asses in the seats. For now, the TV deals and the sponsors keep things rolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a time when one of the HMS cars wasn't as good as the others, but that was long ago. And it's not so much that it wasn't as good, it was just more of an R&D car that had a lot of parts failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
