Yea that's problem #1 for the series....but even if they did, we are all too dumb to stop watching NASCAR and tune into ARCA on a regular basis.

You're using that "we" term far too loosely, son

It doesn't matter how good the racing is in a given series if it doesn't have the right marketing muscle behind it. NASCAR's on track product in its highest divisions is very weak compared to its development series but how many people other than the most hardcore even know when the next K&N race is being aired?

speak of that, on NBCSN

March 17th, K&N East, Mobile - 6:30PM ET
March 17th, Whelen Southern Mods, Caraway - 7:30PM ET
March 25th, K&N West?, Irwindale? - 9:00PM ET


subject to change of course



also of note, it's March and the 2016 schedule for the Mexico Series is still not out yet (although last year's was out after the first race at Phoenix)

A smart competitor wouldn't want anything to do with the current tracks NASCAR runs at anyway, since most of them are either owned by ISC, 2 mile cookie-cutters engineered for boredom or have been resurfaced or reprofiled to rob them of their best characteristics.

A cheaper and more accessible stock series running shorter races primarily on short tracks and road courses with a good tv deal is what we need.

And that is the biggest part of it all and why NASCAR knows they have the upper hand... the TV deal. FOX/NBC have so much money invested in NASCAR and ESPN is a pile of motorsports hating shit, finding a big enough partner would be insanely difficult.


Kill the splitter on the truck body. Put them back on short tracks and road courses.

Way too smart of an idea. Stop your nonsense.

If Capps brings his NAPA sponsorship for a potential one-off at Eldora, I could see him teaming with JR Motorsports (as a teammate to Cole Custer) since both sponsor & team have connections to Hendrick (which supports JRM).

That would be quite interesting. I have a few buddies who eat, sleep, breathe Audi so that would definitely get their attention.
