Hmmm. That's potentially huge news. Grandfathering in HMS and JGR pretty much gives the two best teams an even bigger advantage.

I wonder if it will be one of them kind where they have so long to get down to 3, so whichever driver they have to cut, at least has time to secure a ride. Which probably only will be a problem for HMS, since I’m sure Truex probably retires soon anyway, and that’s easy to go down to 3 then lol. But unless it’s a shocking retirement, no one at Hendrick is probably close. But I’m sure it would be Bowman getting the axe there if they have a time limit.

Think if that happened, it'd have to be Bowman. You can't let the most popular driver go, and Larson/Byron are in contention to win pretty much every week. Bowman is a solid driver, but he's a distant fourth when it comes to HMS.

And I could easily see Bowman getting another ride, if it’s with a good team will be the question, but yeah, he have to be the one for sure

Having said that, I'd be shocked if NASCAR did anything to piss off Hendrick or Gibbs, so they'll probably be allowed to stay at 4 if this happens.

Yeah, the SHR rumors are interesting.

Glad that Dale Jr. is getting the 8 trademark. Teresa is still hanging on to the 1 trademark though, which to me is ridiculous considering shes not really involved in NASCAR anymore.

Truck race happening now. Tuning in late but from what I can tell there isn't any cup guys in the race. Carson H. is on commentary.

Yeah it’s ridiculous she can keep it, when she ain’t even using it. Like I swear I thought you had to use it every so often to hang onto it. Which is why WWE makes WCW and ECW stuff often, and always puts it in the game, and uses old WCW PPV names for NXT.
