So they needed as much practice time as possible on this new layout....

Makes sense then that of course it rained on Friday, washing away all the sessions for all 3 series today

Cup has cancelled qualifying so they can do some car tuning in practice sessions tomorrow.....good luck everyone!

All three qualifying sessions tomorrow replaced by practice. Forty minutes each for Xfinity/Trucks, fifty minutes for Cup.

All three series are also running their SS engine packages <rolls eyes>, with Cup is running their big SS spoilers as well.

Pretty sensible decision to cancel quali for additional practice time, surprisingly so for NASCAR.

It was Chad Knaus who was fucking around with the rear window. Mikey got caught putting rocket fuel in his engines.

the ironic thing with Roush is that they already produce a portion of the spec body parts to start with (basically anything that Five Star doesn't touch)

-

it appears Paramount wanted to do a Days of Thunder series for their streaming service; Tom Cruise said nah.

Mike Harmon's team started out about that way this year after the illegal Rockingham track day session last fall

Ah yes, Spring 2007: the "I have more points than Michael Waltrip" era of NASCAR history. Good times.

Geoff Bodine talks in detail about his 2000 Daytona wreck on Dale Jr.'s podcast. Unbelievable he survived.

NASCAR has recently filed multiple trademarks for the American Speed Association (ASA). Speculation has ranged from simply buying the intellectual property/tape library, all the way to reviving it for a potential all-electric series.

NASCAR quietly took ownership of ASA's intellectual property when the ASA member track program shut down in 2013/14. According to Michael McIntyre (commenting on nascarman's video); it is rumored that the TNN master tapes are currently stored at the NASCAR Hall of Fame - a reply to his comment claims that other folks grabbed the master tapes that were in ASA's Florida office. The TSN/CTV master tapes from the Canadian broadcasts are held by the Canadian Racing Hall of Fame & is uploaded on their YouTube

NASCAR let the prior trademarks (that were originally under ownership by Racing Speed Associates LLC of Florida) run out on the following dates
shortened wordmark #1 - December 2019
slogan #1 - July 2016
logo (ASA wordmark without racing text) - July 2016
slogan #2 - June 2020
shortened wordmark #2 - December 2019

NASCAR also filed a trademark for the former mid-2000's period logo on their own accord in July of 2016 and abandoned it in 2017
logo (ASA Racing) - May 2017

Racing Speed Associates retained ownership of this trademark however until it was abandoned.
full wordmark - July 2016

---

with the efforts of a national touring series being formed for Asphalt Super Late Models by 2 separate groups (CRA/Bob Sargent & Spire & Ricky Brooks/SRL) - I presume NASCAR is simply restarting the trademarks for legal reasons / deterrent from folks trying to use the name without their licensing or approval

There are some sick people out there. I hope they find whoever threatened her boyfriend and punish that person to the fullest extent of the law.

So...remember that part where Brandon Brown found sponsorship by means of crypto? And by that, I don't mean Crypto.com, Coinbase, and the like...I mean a shitcoin based on a grift that he went from reluctantly accepting to shamelessly embracing in a couple of months? Only for that coin to crash hard twice after being found to be a pump-and-dump scheme? You know, that coin that NASCAR didn't approve for...surprise, surprise: being a scam?

Well...

Anyone else get the feeling that the Gen 7 at Dover could be wild and chaotic, kinda like the last few years of Dover as an asphalt track? I know it's mostly been quite tame in the Gen-6 era, but it's a brutal track by nature and the new cars are way less forgiving.
