Nascar is about to enter a new era. At first, the sport was dominated by the bootleggers (1949-early 60's), followed by the GOATs (early 60's-early 80's), then the game changers (early 80's-early 00's), and finally the brats (early 00's-present). Within the next decade, we will be in a new era: the trust fund kids.

Does this mean they'll they rescind the "stay in your car after a crash" rule for the 2017 season?

Reading through the comments, it looks like Racing Electronics is offering them to loan the team the radio equipment they need for Dover.

I hate seeing that happen to Jimmy Means team. They have been doing a lot on a limited budget for years. This might be a big setback for them.

With his history of helping Jimmy Means, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Dale Earnhardt Jr. steps up to help the team at least make it to Dover.

I read that the #25 car will not be running the Xfinity Series race at Dover. They are going to focus on their truck series effort the rest of the year.

Apparently Tony wanted Kyle Larson to replace him in 2017, but for whatever reason his contract wouldn't allow it, so Bowyer was the pick...Shame as it seems Larson is stuck with a team that hasn't won a race since 2010...he deserves a lot better.

Pocono has officially announced the Xfinity Series race, will be ran on June 4, 2016 and will replace the Chicagoland standalone date. The race length will be 250 miles. Chicagoland also announced their 2016 dates (ARCA - 9/15, Trucks - 9/16, Xfinity - 9/17, Cup - 9/18)

At the NHRA race on Sunday, they were giving away tickets to next year's Truck Series race at the track, so it looks like you can add Gateway to the list of confirmed tracks on the Truck Schedule for 2016.

I still don't know why he accepted Chip's deal because at the time, his hype was already high enough to where he could have had his pick, I thought. Was shocked when I heard he was going with Chip. What a waste. A talent like that deserves top flight equipment like Hendrick or Gibbs. He could go the Casey Atwood with Chip.

It's all but confirmed that the Bristol night race next season will be moved ahead a week on the schedule and swap dates with the August Michigan race because football! That's why!

Well.... I've had my laugh for the day complete with "THAT DESTROYED THE FRONT END OF NEWMAN'S CAR" for good measure. I'm all set now. :lol:

It's quite cringeworthy.

Though I must ask about the music being used in this woman's completely mental intros. It sounds familiar; I want to say either late-era "RPM2Night" or "Totally NASCAR".

I think it's late RPM 2 Night.

WTF was that video?

NASCAR announcing something involving the Whelen Euro Series tomorrow including the 2016 schedule and updates to the rules package including a new body (got a feeling it's just the Five Star ARCA/K&N composite body)

Not even really a NASCAR fan... it's Johnny Benson or nobody with her.

Can NASCAR just announce a truck race at Lime Rock already?? I know the town was having another meeting about the Sunday noise ban this month. Wonder if that's one of the reasons the Truck schedule hasn't come out yet.
