The Official 2024 NASCAR Championship 4 Weekend Discussion Thread

At the Indy Road course. Not sure how i forgot to mention that

 

[Stellar]

Finished watching the race last night... Your winner, M-T-J!

New Hampshire was New Hampshire. Not one of my favorite tracks but I am glad that Truex won.

SVG returning to run the Indy road course for Trackhouse!

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Button will be in it as well for RWR (poor guy) while Kobayashi will be driving a third entry for 23XI racing. All kinds of “outside” names coming in for this one. I like it

 

[Hidden Blaze]

No idea why Justin Haley would make this change lol.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

The fuck?! Might as well race a fuckin lawn mower around the track. So now there's an opening at Kaulig...

 

[Hidden Blaze]

What kind of bullshit is this

 

[Stellar]

I saw an interview from Chris Rice where he said that it was a business decision by Kaulig to not keep Justin Haley. Had nothing to do with performance and they are still friends. They had informed him 2 weeks ago. So now the speculation has been as to who will fill that 31 ride. To me if it's not Austin Hill ill be surprised.

Also, I stumbled on to another video of Jeffrey E. being interviewed and asked about his chances of getting in to the JRM 8 ride next year that Josh Berry is vacating. He didn't sound very hopeful but I actually really want to see that happen. Dude did decent in the 5 races with Gibbs in 2019 and placed 2nd with RCR during that one race. The guy also would be good for Bass Pro to sponsor.

Anyway, ARCA Menard Race is about to start after it was postponed yesterday. TRICKY TRIANGLE weekend!

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Austin Hill is the most logical choice. He’s the best Chevy prospect IMO.
As far as Earnhardt, I’d love to see it happen, but I’m not sure he brings the sponsorship. I actually think Junior wants it to happen based on some comments on his pod. just has to make financial sense.

2 weeks ago? Hmm now that whole deal at Atlanta makes even more sense. Probably knew he was out so he’s like fuck these guys.

As for who replaces him I am placing my chips here

 

[Doom]

Goddamn it!

Kyle Busch wins the Truck race at Pocono.

 

[Doom]

Corey Heim had it until the asshole finally passed him on the final lap.

 

[Stellar]

Yeah that ending sucked. Was pulling for Heim but Kyle waited until the last chance to make the move and run off with it. Got even more bad news.... Kyle Busch said recently that in the future he wants to run for a truck series championship when his cup career is done. So there is that. I guess at least this was his last race in the trucks this year.

Also, these people can't come up with something different to say other than "KBM could get 100 wins, KBM 100 wins, Kyle Busch is amazing, KBM 100 wins"? WE GET IT. That was so annoying I nearly put the race on mute. Kyle takes away from the other drivers in the series by how much they focus on him. Heim was already showing how great he was performing this year without Kyle there.

Something else to watch on this front. LiveFast Motorsports (78 car) is in danger of losing their charter because of performance. That means that any team….Trackhouse could lease it from them.
