Front Row Motorsports owner Bob Jenkins is testifying now. He has revealed some numbers:

— Front Row loses $6.8 million per year
— He has never made a profit, nor has he even taken a salary from FRM
— He had nine unsponsored races this year where he ran his own companies on the car to avoid a blank car
— Pre Next Gen he spent $1.8 million per year on parts; with Next Gen he spends $4.7 million a year on parts. It costs $30k to repair a non-wrecked car each week because the nose and tail must be sent back regardless to the vendor and teams cannot repair it themselves.

The 2025 charter agreement is now a public record. Charter teams get a base $141,000 per event.

@STaranto92 Kyle’s 8 in a a very similar boat this week.

[Dan @DanAsher26_]

Potential hot take? The All-Star race should be at Atlanta. The last race showed that a smaller field size on the track puts on an insanely entertaining show. It's a perfect match imo.

Denny Hamlin was asked to respond to Kyle Petty's take on the Next Gen car given Hamlin's criticisms of the car. He said Petty is actually right about certain things, but pointed to how the best racing the car has put on was early in its lifetime when not everyone had figured out the car yet and the field wasn't as close together as a result.

"Now everyone over time, since there's been no development for years and years now and nothing's really changed, the field has just tightened up ... The field is just now running the same speed."

Hamlin maintained that the attitude of the Next Gen car needs to be changed, specifically by removing underbody downforce and putting it on the overbody - Which, theoretically, would allow the trailing car to drive up to the lead car and loosen them up off the bottom.

Slowed down, watch his gloves. He gets it straightened out and then turns dead left. Unreal. #NASCAR

TROUBLE

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

Here's one for ya: I asked @chaseelliott about the topic of the week with the NASCAR championship format debate, and he endorsed full-season points.

Chase: "We've had a really good and competitive battle to the regular season (championship) over -- correct me if I'm wrong -- the last two or three years. It's really been pretty tight all the way down to Daytona.

If you just take that as your sample set over the first 26 weeks, it looks pretty solid to me.

The system would be just fine if you just had a full season. And if somebody runs away with it, so what? Let's celebrate the fact that somebody ran away with it, that somebody was just that good.

Motorsports does not have to be like everybody else to be successful. And I'll stand by that til I get done."
