One of the broadcaster's said yesterday that he may skip the Xfinity series and go straight to cup. They usually have an inside line on this stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The only advantage to the Xfinity would be to get seat time at tracks that hasn't had a lot of experience at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Little Hitler was a no show last weekend but his boss was there. He had a closed door session with our boss basically getting more details on what's going on with a lot of head shakes and taking notes. He meet with the group after we had everything broke down and put away. Thanked us for a good safe year and hoping our whole team comes back next year and that they have some internal things to work on. Right now 4 members of just our team are not coming back. Also told us that Chicago is going to be on the schedule. Nascar was working on getting a race in Montreal but it looks like that won't happen at least for 2024 and with that falling through there may be some other changes but didn't go into detail. A schedule should be out by the beginning of October. Was mostly a fun year and we did make the best of it and had some good laughs. The big boss did see the face on the garage door and asked what it was about. He got told what it was about just shook his head and said he'll be working on that.

Doug Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Talking to some of the Nascar pit crew and they were talking about top level figure 8 races. Said they were like the Nascar of figure 8. They guys are serious about figure 8 https://youtu.be/MR5V4tXTG7Q?si=86GDXWElISC8rHFc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larson had completed his sensitivity but it took almost the complete season before he signed with Hendrick. Think Hendrick also added some requirements.

I thought it seemed very convenient him getting suspended and Legacy wanting him gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read where Jimmy Johnson and his family have moved to the UK and have their kids enrolled in school there. Said after the tragedy with his in-laws/family they need some time to regroup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we both know that probably isn't going to happen as long as a sponsor is willing to sign with the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read that as well but it’s also rumored that Dinger wants out of the Cup grind now that he has a newborn at home so his ride might be open as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
