The #10 truck will be withdrawing, Jennifer doesn't have $2000 for valve springs, exhaust rocker arms and retainers. Blake Koch will drive/park the #0 though.

I still think this is pretty good for him. He's got a shot now in a lower series in good equipment that he can showcase his skills a bit. Hopefully he can go out and win and open even more doors in the cup series in the very near future.

I'm glad that Regan Smith is getting a chance to race something he can do well in on a weekly basis. I think he can definately contend for the Nationwide Series championship next year.

It looks like it's going to be quite a battle for the Nationwide Series Championship next year. Here are who I think are the early top contenders for that title:

-Trevor Bayne-He's finally getting his chance to run a full Nationwide schedule and he's in a car that has already won a championship.

-Austin Dillon-Looked good in his first full season in the series. I think a full year's worth of experience will make him even stronger next year.

-Regan Smith-Good driver that's getting a shot in a car that's been a winner in the past.

-Justin Allgaier-If he doesn't have some of the bad luck that plagued him this year, he should be a threat.

-Michael Annett-He's my sleeper pick for next year. The #43 team has gotten better and better as the season has gone along. They are close to being a consistant top 5 car. If they have a full season like the second half of this season, look out for them.

I'll add these drivers depending on what happens.

-Elliott Sadler and Brian Vickers-If the rumors of them running full-time for Gibbs next year are true, then they should both be forces to be reckoned with.

-Sam Hornish Jr.-He's come a long way as a stock car driver in the last couple of years. If he is still with Penske next year, he might be a threat.

-Parker Kligermann-There is talk that he might get a full-time Nationwide Series ride with somebody. He's been very solid in the trucks. I think he can have success in the Nationwide Series, depending on what ride he ends up with.

Here is the biggest difference between Danica and Johanna Long. Johanna Long has actually WON something in stock car racing (2010 Snowball Derby). Danica hasn't won anything in a stock car. Give Johanna Long the equipment that Danica has had, and I think she'll consistantly outperform her.

I agree with all of your points here. The future of the Nationwide series, at least for next year, actually looks good for the first time in a while. If Sadler and Vickers are running full time for Gibbs, I expect them to be major players in the championship, but I think Dillon and Smith and Bayne will be impressive as well. I like the concept of decent Cup drivers like Sadler and Smith coming to run competitively in Nationwide, because their careers aren't over and they still have the talent to win races in a competitive car rather than run midpack in a mediocre car.

Another rumor for the Nationwide Series in Canada.



While a Nationwide race on a street circuit would be intresting, I don't think Trois-Rivieres would be the best choice for the Nationwide Series. I think that track is too narrow to allow for a lot of passing. I think the tracks that the Indy cars ran in Toronto and Vancouver would be better because they aren't as narrow as Trois-Rivieres.

Nascar Videos on Youtube at risk?

If anyone views classic and current Nascar races on Youtube. You may have noticed that de31168 has made his videos private while tvspnd1228 had his account banned. Both uploaded many current/classic Nascar races. I'm hoping this isn't the start of Youtube purging Nascar content off the site.

Lest we forget the last time A NASCAR race was run on a street circuit...

It's a shame the cars suck so badly, because that's one hell of a group of drivers that could be running for the N'wide title next year.

Worst thing since 9/11, if true.

Uh no

Well, you know, TVSPND1228 had a ton of F1 videos on his channel as well, so that is more likely the reason. Don't know about de31168. All the other channels still appear to be up. Until we start losing a lot more channels and stuff, there's nothing to be too worried about, I'd think.

I got a feeling he'd had enough of all the morons who demanded certain races be uploaded, going by one or two comments on other people's YouTube pages.

Was that de31168? I don't blame him. It's unfortunate that we are losing these channels, but I don't think it's any cause for concern regarding YouTube removing NASCAR videos.

Yeah it was. Shame too, he had some great stuff on his channel.

Yehhhhh I wonder what kind of repercussions would come with such a thing. I have a ton of race recaps on my channel, and I'd hope they'd at least give me a heads up before going ahead and giving me copyright strikes.

It wouldn't be YouTube removing the videos on there own. It is NASCAR telling YouTube to remove them. If anyone's to blame, it's NASCAR. God forbid anyone watch a BUSCH race from 1994 or a WINSTON CUP race from 1991.

I know I've bitched about his before but god damn I wish NASCAR or INDY CAR would come up with a digital streaming service for old races. I'd pay good money per month for that.

Oh I know that, YouTube is just the service. It's the music, TV and movie giants that control it and tell it what goes and what doesn't. Not sure if NASCAR has had any change of heart about it or what, or if the new deal with Fox affects the YouTube stuff, but I'm not too worried about that yet.

Havn't kept up with youtube in a few months, sad to hear about de31168's situation.
