.@RCRracing is announcing that it will change the No. 31 car in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series next season back to the No. 8 once used by the Earnhardt family, who like pilot @DanielHemric are from Kannapolis, N.C.
β The No. 8 is close to sold out for '19, per team execs.
With the way the 22 has been running over the last three week... Championship favorite Joey Logano? Didn't think I'd be saying that a month ago. #NASCAR
At what point does the pressure hit Denny Hamlin? Kyle, Truex in the 18/19. Erik not going anywhere. Christopher Bell waiting and clearly ready...
(I know FedEx plays a huge role in this, which sucks for CBell) #NASCAR
π@CGRTeams this PM will announce a full-season deal for @RossChastain in the No. 42 NASCAR Xfinity Series car, with sponsorship from @DCSolar.
β DC Solar will also continue sponsoring CGRβs No. 42 Chevy driven by Kyle Larson in the Monster Energy Series for a handful of races.

Absolutely 100 percent good. Betting on stage winners, driver vs. driver, props, overall race winners... Think it definitely brings a new element to attending a race in person.
Similar to a horse/dog track.
A majority of NASCAR Cup teams voted in recent days to endorse '19 rules related to the so-called All-Star Package that @NASCAR has proposed, per people familiar.
β Exact number of races it will be used for was unclear, but it's said to be most events at 1.5- to 2-mile tracks.
We've got ourselves a short track revolution trying to break out in NASCAR, boys and girls.
Memphis said in June they wanted a NASCAR date. SMI is meeting with Nashville people to get the Fairgrounds back on the schedule. Now, IRP is renovating and targeting NASCAR.
Agree. Worth wondering if they could generate more interest in the playoffs with mid-week races.
NASCAR's playoffs going head to head against the NFL 9/10 weeks seems insane to me. https://t.co/DMAS7Dh9ba
There is one and only one reason ESPN created the ESPYs - the day after the MLB All-Star Game is the deadest of the sports season - NASCAR can own a four week summer stretch from the 4th of July until NFL/CFB camps open with midweek racing
@DK_Assist Any thought in expanding the XFINITY contests? Putting up 20k to win at Iowa seemed to work just fine. Love the contest structure, just think more would come with more money at stake. Thanks!
Lifting = separation. Of course.
Package should work a lot better at Michigan. Still. You're taking too much out of the driver's hands.
Also, none of this matters if we race better (short) tracks. π€·π»ββοΈ

Interesting, from @chaseelliott's explanation, he believes the aero package actually works better the closer to wide open drivers are. And they were not even close at @poconoraceway
