Was just coming here to share that. Holy hell, what a move by spire

We’ll see how much it helps Corey LaJoie. He’s getting one of the best Crew Chiefs in the sport today, so good luck to him.

Feel like it's Spire's way of telling LaJoie that it's getting to the point of put up or shut up. If he can't improve with Rodney, it may be time to look elsewhere for a driver.

FRM has a driver announcement coming tomorrow morning.

Rodney Childers being Corey LaJoie's crew chief is huge news. The guy's a genius because of his tenure as the crew chief of Kevin Harvick, which he won the 2014 Cup Championship and being very consistent in the NASCAR Playoffs. Hopefully he can can give LaJoie a much needed boost to compete better among the best in the business.

FRM has a driver announcement coming tomorrow morning.

I'm seeing it's very likely Noah

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Yea. All signs point to Gragson. Interested to see who they get for their other ride.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Brakehard reporting that it's definitely Noah

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

That’ll be his fourth team in four seasons

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Hope this one works out for him.

Bubba fined 50K for the post-race incident, per Jayski.

So, the current rumblings are that Noah gets introduced today. Not sure if it'll be the 34 or the 36. Sam Mayer is currently the front runner to land the other FRM ride.

I like what FRM is building. Going young and building for the future. Noah is expected to bring Bass Pro with him, which means even more funding.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah, always great when seeing another team get better, just means more possible winners, which is always a plus. I love seasons honestly where we just get a lot. still holding out hope for a season where we get more than 16 before the playoffs, so one win doesn’t necessarily get you in. We’ve come close a few times now.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

I keep hoping it'll happen! I think we're at 12 right now with 6 races left in the regular season, so I doubt we get 5 new winners over the next 6 weeks, but it's gonna happen eventually. Especially with teams getting stronger.
