The Mosport race is the Mazda program's last race for 2017 as the transfer to Joest Racing is immediate. Cars will be sent to Germany for evaluation and development. Joest versus Penske should be exciting to see, along with any changes that get made by their competitors at WTR and ESM.

As soon as ACO realise their formula can't go any further because teams are pulling out of LMP1 and that could mean the death of WEC (again), they'll let DPis race. Cap this.

And picking up a pair of WEC P2s are more money than the remaining privateers have ready to blow - being the first year of these new P2s existing, there were no used ones available in the offseason - maybe some WEC teams sell their shit (shit meaning any non-Oreca) this winter and those P2 cars get picked up (cheaply) by a would-be IMSA team. I say 'remaining privateers' because so many (Shank, Dyson to start) have effectively gone pro with some manufacturer-funded deal somewhere.
IMSA could help this by splitting the DPis into a manufacturers' championship and the WEC-specs into a teams' trophy, then there wouldn't be a "well if i cant get a Cadi DPi fuck it I'll just race GT3/protolites/whatever" logic to non-entrants who (probably correctly) don't think they can crack into the new top four:
Mazda/Joest
Acura/Penske
Nissan/ESM
Cadillac/everybody else
That's a fucking war about to happen.

Dale JR turned into an extreme cuck who let his wife talk him out of racing and into doing some garbage HGTV renovation show. In three years when they're divorced and she's ran off with some other guy (which is how she met dale in the first place, an affair), we'll be comparing her to Theresa or Yoko Ono.
http://larrybrownsports.com/gossip/dale-jr-affair-amy-reimann-tommy-cook-marriage/17174
>>77212881
Tony did. At the time the incident happened it was being discussed on Canadigua's message board (basically there was a shitposting forum for the 5-6 local tracks in the area all under one sprint car series) and all of the fans in attendance said tony's ego got the best of him, and then tried to high-tail it out of there before state troopers stopped them.
This is why tony's career took a nosedive immediately afterwards. Extreme guilt from killing the kid made him basically unable to function.

Is there any word on the program Rebellion is running next year?
>>77217216
So did I when it aired ocasionally on Globo.
But seriously, neither Globo nor CBA take it seriously, and it's supposed to be the top-tier national racing series. It doesn't generate much interest, and its most well-known drivers are F1 has-beens such as Barrichello, Pizzonia and Ricardo Zonta, plus shitters like Cacá Bueno and Ricardo Maurício who'd never fare better in another series.
The sad part? If Stock Car came to my city, I'd go there and watch it live.

>>77220517
based, was worried it would be kenshit
>>77220517
Took them long enough
Told yall niggas it was gonna be Bowman. If they couldn't get Blaney or Larson, he's the only one that made sense not only for Rick, but also for Nationwide.
He'll inherit a big chunk of Jr's fanbase. Fantastic choice.
I would expect Nationwide to commit long term to the 88. Were prolly waiting for all of this to sort itself out.
>>77220656
Apparently Axalta finally came around on him lately and Nationwide was behind him after his performances last year so it really just came together fast.
Makes it interesting where plans are. Jimmie said he's not retiring even if he gets 8 but he's probably going to see out his contract which will probably be enough time for Byron to take the 48 if Lowes can get behind him. The 5, who knows. Paul Menard suddenly being the hottest free agent in town really upended silly season.
>>77220688
I had been thinking Bowman to the 88 in 2018 and Byron to the 5 in 2019 made the most sense. With Jimmie signing a new contract, I don't think there's anyone even on the radar to fill that seat when he retires.
At that point there could be current star drivers available to fill it.
I could see someone like Logano or Brad filling Jimmie's seat a few years down the road. An accomplished vet with a lot left in the tank.
Gordon fans realizing Jimmie will pass 93 wins
The revelation that it's Amy who is keeping Jr from racing in the clash next year makes it pretty obvious that she's the one who pushed him to retire. I thought he still wanted to do a few more years with the way he talked last year, even after his injury, but I bet Amy wants to start a family and doesn't want the dad to be a potato when he's 50.
>>77220517
dog fucking bless
>>77220517
bowman is an overrated meme
>>77219790
I think it's been getting better in quality IMO, while still have it's meme moments, like other drives running over tires during last race.
The problem really is interest, while the category itself actually tries via social media the mainstream media doesn't give two shits about it. I remember 2015 when they called a fuckload of drivers for a special race, including Prost's son, Villeneuve and some others i don't remember and the media didn't gave a shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7ugJZiZeHs

Is she wrong for wanting that?
>>77222699
But i'm curious to see this weekend's race and see how the circuit is finished because last year that race shouldnt happened.
>>77223054
Nope. With his history I'm glad he's hanging it up too. It'd be really sad to see Jr end up with issues down the road.
>>77221614
It's the smart thing, he shouldn't have gotten back in the car after his episode last year. He's obviously shook and a bad crash could mess him up even more than he was already set to be. He hasn't been a legitimate contender for a while.
They better get Bowman in an xfinity car. He shouldn't go into next season cold.
>>77223559
I'm amazed he hasn't been in one already. I get that he didn't have a spot in a cup car, but why wasnt he in Xfinity, or trucks, or literally anything?
>>77223559
>>77223606
is he even running anything this year?
JRM late models?
>>77223666
I think hes been testing for hendrick
>>77223559

>>77223694
I hope so.
He should be in the 5 now.
>>77223694
Kasey has another year.
>>77223666
All I know is he's been one of the main drivers for Chevy/HMS in the simulator
http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints/item/142395-crandall-peeking-behind-chevy-s-curtains
>>77223559
He's been doing all the testing events for Hendrick and is doing the Darlington tyre test soon. He's been getting track time but I wouldn't be surprised if he runs the 88 JRM in Xfinity a few times before the end of the year.
>>77223272
Yeah, that was fucking terrible. I was just waiting for someone to hit one of those trees on the runoff areas or to break those brick walls along the track and roll down the hill. They got really lucky that nothing bad happened
>>77224238
Yup, but overall the series is decent, the lack of spotlight it's the problem. Curvelo might fix that since Lito said last year that the circuit only takes a quarter of the area the owners bought it and that they wanna make a motorsport complex there. Pretty fucking awesome idea if true.
>>77224620
Is this brasilian stock cars?
>>77225137
Ye.
>>77223857
There's a contract clause for his final season like Danica's in that he could leave or Hendrick could shut down the ride. But it's more that he lost Farmers and Great Clips for his Sprint racing team as well so he's out of luck for sponsorship on all ends. Mr.H would probably fund the ride for a year and it would likely be just Dew and Microsoft on his car if Casey wanted to stay but losing all your sponsors is a pretty big problem if you are running your own operations. One of the silly season theories about Kahne leaving and heading to GMS new cup operation is that Alliegant might cover his sprint cars as part of the deal.
Silly season took a break for Eldora but it will be back in force for the Indy weekend. Also the Xfinity Race is going to be one of the greatest shitshows of our time.

No one knows what team GMS is going to gun for or even if they will buy out an old team. There are others interested in BK's operation as well apparently. GMS might just be in the business of buying BK's charter for the 23 and sticking with Chevy while another team will buy the equipment (Which is Toyota).

Brian France or whomstever's actually in charge needs to get their head out of their ass and realize that it's not 2004 anymore and NASCAR isn't drawing the crowds it drew at its peak and they need to go to places that actually want to see them and can draw in viewers watching at home. They can start by changing the truck and grand national schedules back to a plurality of short tracks, while adding in additional road courses. Drunken rant over...

>wouldn't comment on if it'd be Kahne or someone else
Reading between the lines here... Rick wants Byron to get another year in Xfinity and take over the 5 in 2019. So ideally they can get Kahne a sponsor and that'll take care of 2018. But if they can't, it'll be the Liberty University 5 car next year.
Jimmie, Chase, Bowman and Byron would be some team.
We're a couple of years away from most every driver being in their 20s. It's a lot more economic friendly to the owner to have those team friendlier contracts. If you're gonna have a vet, he needs to be worth it.
Kahne will be in the 5 until he retires.
>>77273649
Jimmie retires next year putting Byron in the 48 and securing Kahne's spot in the 5.

That's not as bad as things could be. When is the 10 hour going to take place? No July race is pretty ebin but makes sense maybe for the future if more GT300 teams will travel to Spa 24 along with Le Mans. It sucks how far between the rounds SGT is, maybe it's good for budgets but not sure how cheap employing dudes for that long of a season and that few races is.
>>77287135
Dale was supposed to replace DW at Fox. Please tell me DW is retiring.
wew lad
So Steve and Jr are back together again. That's awesome.
>>77287491
DW will retire when he's tired of going to races or physically unable to plus the boomers still love hearing him on Sundays. Fox is already grooming a successor in Harvick who has about a year or two left before he retires as well but is really getting into broadcasting with the amount of Xfinity broadcasts he was doing (And he didn't do a bad job at PBP at Pocono). They will probably replace as time goes on.
When's the next 24H race? Or did I just miss it?
>>77288052

It's a multiyear deal for Jr to broadcast on NBC. I wanted him to stay in the sport so I'm glad he'll be calling races. Him and Letarte have great chemistry so it should work.

DTM merging with GT Masters to form some sort of european Super GT would be ideal but what are the odds of that ever happening?
I cant even blame this on Formula E being this incredible series because all it is is cheap and thats it. Its cheap and lets manufacturers cross "motorsport" off their PR checklist. Daimler is about to eat some shit considering the recent collusion scandal so they're thinking ahead here.
>>77299096
What you guys have not heard yet probably is that the public TV channel DTM is running on here is showing interest in getting a F1 license and most likely giving up DTM for that. Merc leavin DTM surely doesnt help with a possible new TV partner to broadcast the races
>>77299199
Does it have to be an either/or situation? I don't think the F1 calendar clashes with DTM at all
>>77299635
F1's broadcasting rights must be worth a fuckton of money and I guess that DTM isn't exactly cheap either
Bread's staying at Penske. Signed a new contract extension. So he's not returning to Hendrick (And why would he?)
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/130909/mercedes-reveals-new-gt4-car
>>77300389
The only way him returning to HMS made sense was if Jimmie agreed to retire at the end of next year and Byron Jr took his seat in 2019.
Can someone explain to me why Sports Car is so decentralized?
Why isn't there a single international super series to crown the many national series?
WEC just doesn't seem to take that mantle, but it could be my perception too.
>>77300389
No surprise there. Penske has three championship tier drivers right now. No reason to let one go.
>>77300943
>>77302212
Expecting an announcement as early as tomorrow for Blaney to the 12 and potentially backed by Verizon. Menard to the Wood Bros soon after as they need the Sponsor Baby money and Ford's not enough. NASCAR is supposedly flying Wallace out to tracks to keep his name in the conversation and setting up meetings to try land a sponsor and a team for next year.
Silly season is fucking wild.
>>77300389
penske is currently faster than hendrick on track and Brad has stated he felt betrayed by Rick Hendrick when he didn't get Mark Martin's ride, he also said he's super grateful for Penske signing him, I don't see him going anywhere before retiring
>>77302063
>Can someone explain to me why Sports Car is so decentralized?
Every series runs itself in an attempt to be the centrally best series, they do this shit however the fuck they want to.
>Why isn't there a single international super series to crown the many national series?
What that would cause is a legitimately deep competition of best vs best vs best; it'll never happen.
>>77302063
Because fuck the French. IMSA and GTA do better without major interference from the FIA/ACO. National series make more sense for sponsors and budgets, world series are too expensive unless you suck Arab dick and the WEC is falling apart again like the WSC because of incompetence or malicious negligence on behalf of the FIA/ACO. Fuck the French, they're awful for racing.
>>77302343

This is what I thought would happen. I had my doubts about him replacing DW. Guys remember DW is like Nascar's John Madden. Do you remember Madden's last few years? Fox will throw obscene amounts to keep DW on the air until he is utterly incoherent.
Mike Joy is getting pretty old too. Remember he's been a pit reporter since the early 80's. I gotta think he's getting close to retirement as well. I've heard Bestwick is no longer under contract for abc/espn and I would love to see Him come back to Nascar.

>>77313392
>Almirola to the 10
for what purpose?
>>77313392
I can get along with Bubba in the 43 and Almirola in the 10
Petty needs to find sponsorship for the 43, as Smithfield is gonna stay with Almirola in that scenario. Without sponsorship, the 43 team will fold.
>>77313396
I'unno, that seemed to be the hot rumor for a while though
>>77313317
>>77313444
Nice, another one for my collection
>>77313392
>>77313427
The rumor changed that Smithfield doesn't want to move with Amirola now and they feel the sponsorship stays best with the team and number than the driver (Like Nationwide and the 88). Also Amirola's not moving anymore, especially if RPR merges with another team.
10's a complete mystery right now. There was some small chatter Stewart was trying to convince Danica to drop to the Xfinity 41 and run a full season as she's not interested in stopping racing but SHR wants someone else in the 10.
>>77312828
I don't get why everyone hates Furniture Row. Three years ago they were the under dog who survived being a start and park to start contending. Now they're a Cup contender. It has to be the fact they're associated with Gibbs. But in all honesty they did everything essentially the same as Gene Haas. Stewart-Haas only is where It is because they partnered with Tony and Hendrick in 09.
Personally I like Furniture Row because of the fact that they actually paid dues as a shit team and are now Cup contenders. Not to mention the fact that they are only 1 of 3 serious teams to show up in Cup since the turn of the century and still be around (4 if you count Evernham which doesn't even slightly exist anymore)
>>77312856
The third Penske team has been awful in past attempts but I think Penske is well prepared this time around. With Menard in the 21 essentially being the fourth car, you could make the case that Penske is the top team in NASCAR.
>>77312885
>inb4 ugly neon yellow car with gold numbers
>>77313590
All true, they are to be commended for actually giving a shit and not looking for start and park money. Hell they always cared, even when they were a mash up of RCR throw away chassis and HMS motors they won the southern 500 with Regan Smith. The only other team that was even close to giving a shit in recent memory was Phoneix racing but they fell apart after Krut left.
Put it simply to someone who doesn't follow NASCAR.
Is the silly season very silly at the moment?
Or did you anticipate the silliness?
>>77312828
>>77313590
>>77314240
It's down to Troox being part of spingate and nearly knocking sneak out of the chase that year and Those damn cheating toyoders for the oldfags. FRR being dominant and making races boring for the newfags even though Troox gives 110% every week in that car.
>>77314304

RCR will die without that Nards money. The only way they can keep three teams is by bringing on someone with money behind them like Ben Kennedy or Michael Annett.
>>77318065
RCR should snag Spencer Gallagher
>>77318065
Richard Childress still has 250 million dollars of net worth to make sure his grand kids can race for a while. Besides I'm sure Gieco and Ty will be going to the 3rd RCR car anyways.
It's funny because DTM has been trying to be more like F1 adding option tires, DRS, no refueling. they even changed the rules this year to slow down the pit stops. and still Mercedes left.
>no more DTM

>>77322904
They were only running part time with Blaney in his Rookie season and Ford Motocraft/Quick Lane weren't really a huge cash flow sponsor. Menard is not far off his own retirement so taking on a driver that guarantees the future of the team for a short while till they can properly take on a young driver again is the best move for them.

Menards should sponsor both the 12 and 21. Make the 12 the neon Menards car. Use the 21 to sponsor some of their store brand products and retain the traditional Wood Brothers paint scheme.

>The real question about RCR is, does Geico come over with Ty, or does it stay with Germain?
Geico's not coming with Ty. It's likely going to be Bass Pro Shops as the main sponsor on the 33 in 2018 at the moment (They currently are on a couple of cars like Troox but apparently Ty's being the "Most interesting sportsman in the world" has been really attractive in pushing Bass Pro to do a main sponsorship). The Germain 13, it's unsure if they are going to bring back Mears or fish for someone else but Geico is sticking there.

Is this the worst blow to endurance racing's rising popularity in the last 5-10 years? Will we ever get uncucked by Formula E?
>>77340686
the worst blow was audi staying as long as they did and being a loud voice in the rulemaking
>>77339940
toyota will still lose Le Mans in 2018
>>77340760
That is their punishment for being BTFO by GT2 class NSX in 1995... which happens to the same year their WRC squad were caught running illegal turbos.

I wonder how much this year's LMP1 fiasco played a part in this, considering that the regulations would become even worse in 2020
>ACO comes up with a retarded set of rules for 2020
>All factory teams quit LMP1 before that
>>77339940
It depends what happens with the new P1 customer/privateer teams. Manufacturer teams are hype and full of memes but without them we don't need petrol to be worse than hybrids and anymore and if they let rebellion/bykolles/ginetta/whoever else build sweet cars the racing will still great.
I wouldn't even mind if they scrapped it and just did P2/P3/GTE. ELMS is pretty good.
Also not being an FE hater I can be a bit keen to see Porsche race in there.
>>77340760
Fuck man... Is it too much to hope they will win at least once in their entire history of endurance racing? Ridiculous things just keep happening to them.
