The Official 2024-25 NASCAR Offseason Discussion Thread

Reddick wins regular season championship by ONE POINT, with Larson missing a whole race it shows how amazing Larson ran this season. He doesn’t miss the 600, he easily walks away with the regular season championship

Congratulations to him for winning the regular season title. His team's been very consistent all season long.

Hopefully Tony Stewart watched this race. I saw that he said that he didn't watch the Daytona race because he can't stand seeing cars getting torn up... but hopefully Stewart saw the 14 win. The way that Briscoe fought with Larson and found a way to get ahead and then had to hold off Kyle Busch... dude showed a lot of determination.

Also, thank goodness that Hamlin didn't win either.

I’d honestly be shocked if Tony was watching. I think he’s pretty done with nascar

Brandon Jones to JGR is official. Another open ride at JRM.

Brakehard recently put out a video talking about the renewed possibility of Bowman being out at Hendrick and moving to the 7. I'm still going to be shocked if it happens, but there's been a lot of smoke around that concept for a little while. It's clear he's the 4th guy at HMS, but I still don't see him leaving.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

If Bowman is out, who replaces him?

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

The only name mentioned in the video is....Justin Haley lol. I just don't see it happening. It'd be different if JRM had a young guy dominating the Xfinity Series and Hendrick wanted to put him in there. But there's just not a guy who's a clearcut improvement IMO. I think it's just a rumor.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Bowman says it’s not happening. I tend to believe him.

I do think that Bowman will be gone from Hendrick before the other 3 but not this year. Especially now that silly season has already been going on for awhile.

Love the news about MTJ and Pearn at the 500!

My thoughts exactly. He's the fourth guy there, and it's not really all that close. But there's no one to replace him with this season, especially not at this point. His deal runs through 2026; I could see him being out after next season barring some huge jump in performance, but I won't be shocked if he stays in place for the last 2 years of the deal.

RFK may be adding a third charter, which would be for Ryan Preece to come on board. Not sure how I feel about that overall, but the suspicion is that Kroger wants to work with him again. Money does talk...

With some of what I’ve seen about the proposal from NASCAR, I don’t blame 23XI, at all.
