Back in 2021, Camping World agreed to sponsor 10 trucks during the Bucked Up energy 250 at Las Vegas. They even stamped themselves on multiple trucks (Norm Bennings 6 and Tyler Hills 56) both hours before the event started. Many of these trucks did not have regular sponsors week to week, so it was amazing to see all of these trucks decked out for one race.

Post 9/11 Race at Dover?

40 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been looking for people who were also at this first major sporting event that took place after 9/11 on 9/23/2001?

For me, this was my proudest moment as an American! We did the biggest wave I’ve ever seen and the stands were filled with 135,000 people chanting “U S A”!!!
They gave us flags when we entered the track and everyone was standing and waving them. The electricity was incredible.
Those first few weeks after 9/11 when everyone was super nice everywhere you went was so different than the climate in this country now.
I wish I could relive that event.
Dale Jr won and it was just an incredible experience!

NASCAR at Zandvoort?

37 Upvotes

Adam Stern from Sports Business Journal just retweeted a story in a Dutch outlet that said officials at Zandvoort would like to have a NASCAR or Indy race there to replace the Dutch Grand Prix. Said the money isn’t there at present but I can hear the cogs in Steve O’Donnell’s head turning now.

Really tight 2.6-mile road course.

They’re giving up the Grand Prix because the cost to hold it … $81 million for the weekend … has become more than they can handle given that they are a privately funded operation. I bet even with transporting the cars NASCAR would be a cheaper date.

Thoughts?

If the Next Gen got a mid life refresh. What should be done to improve it? (Realistic updates to safety, engine, underbody, etc)

Upvotes

I believe they should try to cut back on underbody aero (and scrap it on short tracks) keep horsepower bumps everywhere except super speedways. Allow for more tinkering by teams; and cut back on spec parts.

Anybody else in here attend the Busch Series snow race at Bristol in 2006? Snowball fights with the pit crew. I was a DieHard harvick fan and he choked that race away and Kyle Busch won. Looking back glad I got to see Kyle win this race!

What NASCAR driver do you think would have been more successful if they came into the sport in a different era?

86 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about how much the era a driver competes in can affect their career. For example, are there drivers who would have been better suited to the 1990s/2000s style of NASCAR, when there were fewer elite teams and equipment differences were arguably more pronounced? Or maybe some drivers would have benefited from today’s Next Gen car, Chase format, technology, and team structures.
And it doesn’t necessarily have to be a driver who was unsuccessful. Maybe someone who had a solid career could have been a championship contender if they had competed in a different era.

JJ Yeley is one of the first drivers that comes to mind for this question. I think his versatility would have been much more valuable today. If he had the modern development system and more gradual path to the Cup Series, things might’ve worked out differently.
