I'm guessing the massive Daytona Day marketing push from Fox had more to do with the increase than anything else.

They had Gordon Ramsey doing videos and everything.

WEC does I think double points for Le Mans, I think Blancpain GT does quad points for the 24 hours of Spa with full normal race points awarded at 6 and 12 hours and double points at the finish.

They pretty much own road atlanta also, but I'm guessing they already have a race near atlanta, and with sebring I guess they figure there's already 3 plus races a year in florida.

As opposed to being 3-4 races in Charlotte.

This is still my favourite video on the Kansas road course. Though I'd say the infield course at Fontana might be worse since it's just lines on the ground. At least they're changing the pit lane though, as hilarious as the old Charlotte road pit exit would've been.

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?’’

The worst part is all the stories that are now going to go up about how he was just a bright eyed dreamer who played iRacing and hoped that one day his rich dad would pay for him to race for real.

iospace posted:

Did Liberty bankroll him the whole way?

Yep, from another article on Vice last year.

quote:

For a year, Byron’s parents paid for him to race. Byron picked up a sponsor in Liberty University after a meeting with the school’s chancellor, Jerry Falwell Jr.

Vince McMahon usually plays "America the Beautiful" at WrestleMania which I've always thought was an implied acknowledgement that the anthem stinks.

In the Wrestlemania documentary they released a few years ago he outright said the anthem sucks hence America the Beautiful.
