@Jeff_Bluck @caleb_michel@Jordan_Bianchi Well, it wasn’t before the trial (cuz NASCAR execs are morons), but as expected, NASCAR settled. The teams now have the permanent charters they deserve. HMS/Penske/JGR all owe Denny, MJ, and Jenkins for having the balls to fight this fight.
@Jeff_Bluck @caleb_michel@Jordan_Bianchi Could teach a masterclass in selective reasoning. Quite the impressive display of belief over evidence. I’ll agree to disagree, as your cognitive dissonance prevents a reasonable discussion. But, I’ll keep this receipt, so we can revisit when the details of settlement are known.
@_TaylorKitchen_ We repeatedly see this inane logic used by losing crew chiefs. When you are obviously the fastest car, the call should ALWAYS be to match your closest competitors’ strategy (if you have the info). They knew Larson took 2. Taking 2 would’ve won him a championship. Knuckleheads smh
@NASCAR@KyleLarsonRacin@TeamHendrick Never, in the history of professional sports, has a championship been watered down so much to be so meaningless. NASCAR should be embarrassed..

@bluedog373@1TimothyA@bobpockrass That’s an awfully low bar…. NASCAR doesn’t need 40 cars, it needs 40 viable businesses. Filling the grid is optics; fixing the economics is survival.
@bluedog373@1TimothyA@bobpockrass Uhhmm, I sat in the 1/2 empty stands at the Kansas playoff race this year and last, bro. Riley Herbst has a full-time ride on Cup. 11 teams have folded in the past 9 years. Yeah, you’re right. No need for improvement here🙄
@bluedog373@1TimothyA@bobpockrass Absolutely correct. With the current backwoods and myopic ownership and revenue sharing model, NASCAR will never reach the level of more professional sports. It will never garner the interest of serious investors whose capital and adeptness could take NASCAR to that next level.
@AlmurH@bobpockrass@dennyhamlin This 👆. Anyone blaming charters doesn’t seem to get it. Without HMS/JGR/Penske burning cash to keep the show alive, there is no NASCAR... Lose even one, and the whole house shakes. The fact that it could happen kills new investment before it starts, holding everyone back.
