The "less than five years=unlimited races" rule is pointless because the drivers who are covered by it for the most part are in top rides anyway (Larson, Elliott, Dillons, Jones, Suarez, etc)., but I'll take any little bit I can get.

Now if people would just shut up about "But...BUT...WHEN NXS DRIVERS BEAT CUP GUYS, THAT'S SAYIN' SOMETHIN!" because other than one or two of them, they don't win.

All three majors (F1, Indy, and NASCAR) are having some good ones. Though it seems F1's is going to be over before the season starts if Ferrari manage to resign Kimi and Seb (or be as boring as last year's).

This is like when Smoke denied Danica was coming to SHR even though it was pretty apparent, only this has a media source confirming Kurt's gone and the response is "NUH-UH".

Yeah, thats what I think. There is a difference between not picking up a 1 year contract option and "hes out forever"... they may want him to sign a longer, cheaper deal. Or just a cheaper deal in general.

It's a terribly worded report, Kurt's contract was essentially up today and they're not renewing for the time being. Seems SHR wants him back but he's functionally a free agent until they get it sorted.

Why did he expand his truck team into up to four trucks if he's totally in it for himself as he makes it sounds, though? :iiam:

That was because he mouthed off to a cop and Jack Roush had had enough of him anyway.

I love that Kyle's response to not being allowed to run an entire truck season is to threaten to organise dates among other drivers so there's always a cup driver there anyway for the sole reason of loving up the series.

quote:

“If we all get together this offseason and pick and choose our races around each other’s schedule, we can still screw it up as much as we want to screw it up and piss everybody off. I wouldn’t be so certain that might not happen.’’
I really enjoyed this bit as well. Why own a team if you can't drive the car? Why develop talent so your team and the sport has a future?

quote:

“I enjoy going out and running Truck races,’’ said Busch, who has won two of the four Truck races he’s run this season. “If I’m not allowed to do that, then why am I owning a team that I’m not allowed to race for? It just doesn’t make any sense. If I’m out there spending money for other drivers and whatnot to come up through the ranks, but yet I’m getting beat up and not allowed to drive in it, then it’s no fun for me. Then why am I spending money to evolve talent that is going to replace me one day?’’
