That is interesting but he is freshly removed from these cars but he was a Ford driver.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 You'd think the team(s) that builds cars for those two teams would step up and say "we'll hook the guy up, but we may need to call in a favor or two sometime." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling him to just ask me what he's looking for instead of fishing around would make the conversation a lot shorter probably was not professional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed to work off of the backup trailer because it's going to be needed at Indy. We've had nothing but problems basically because the last time it was used 3 years ago the crew did not drain it down as they should. E15 does bad things over 3 years. Little Hitler was having a meltdown and said who ever used the trailer last should be fired. Guess who's crew used it last? Yup his. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Michael Jordan, 23XI Racing co-owner, says NASCAR is 'going to die' if its business model isn't improved Only a few weeks after celebrating his first in-person win as a NASCAR Cup Series car owner, Michael Jordan took a public stance on the ongoing charter and revenue sharing negotiations between NASCAR and its teams, stressing the need for a better business model in stock car racing. Jordan, an NBA legend and international basketball icon, has been the co-owner of 23XI Racing since 2021. Presently, NASCAR and its teams have been in a standoff on renewing the sport's charter system, a franchise-style model that was introduced in 2016 to provide team owners a tangible asset and ensure all 36 chartered teams a guaranteed spot in each Cup Series race. As reported by The Athletic, the team owners are seeking for charters to be made permanent -- the current agreement is set to expire at the end of the 2024 season -- as to not risk being left with a worthless investment. However, NASCAR has reserved the right to revoke a charter in the event that a team is not operating to its competitive or professional standards, and NASCAR CEO Jim France has reportedly sought to not stray too far from how his grandfather Bill France or father Bill France Jr. would have operated. NASCAR teams were independent contractors for many years, and many have operated at a loss even with the introduction of the charter system. That's an enormous difference from stick-and-ball sports like the NBA, where Jordan and business partner Curtis Polk come from. Speaking to the New York Times, Jordan stumped for permanent charters as a means of ensuring NASCAR's long-term survival.

Doug Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 A family that's not been to a Nascar race think getting a motor coach and a spot outside of one of the turns would be a good way to go. Don't know the price of a spot but no motel, bring your own food and beverages watch what you want when you want. Iowa on the back stretch into turn 3 actually has a upper and lower row to park campers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
