For those unaware, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season is a game near and dear to us. It's the game that our community was built around even before 2018, and it's something we still rally around today.
Over the past couple weeks, there's been an alarming effort by a small few to lock community-shared mods behind a paywall, in addition to these same people aggressively attacking those who have criticized the idea of gatekeeping community assets away from the community they were intended for.
There's a powerful saying that applies here; be the change you want to see. So...we're going to give it a go. It will be a community effort to set this new website up, but we believe that the community should have access to mods without a financial barrier. People shouldn't be locked out from one of the most influential racing games of the past 25 years just because a couple of bad actors decide they want to make a profit off of others hard work, passion, and care.
If you know how to help, and want to help us setup this new haven, please feel free to join us. We already have a community Discord up in the meantime as a gathering spot, so let's build.

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.
Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.
