What the hell, Rhodes punted Zane. Lmao.

I still put that on Carson. The 11 wasn’t able to win, the wreck ended his chance. He’s P'Oed - Carspn tried to pass him so he wrecked him. Heim doesn’t really care about the front at that point. He shouldn’t have done it but it’s still on Carson IMO.

And I like Carson. That just sucked

Maybe, but Heim would still be contending right now.

This is a sheet show tho. Lol.

True dat!

Did Zane try to block/wreck Rhodes?

He missed a shift

He missed a shift

Ah, that makes more sense.

And more carnage, lol. Deegan squeezed through that mess. Haha.

 

[DaveXA]

Lol, 23 almost caught Rhodes. Wild finish. Trucks are such a sheet show lol.

 

[DaveXA]

Dang, Ford swept the championships. Lol. Trucks - Rhodes, Xfinity - Custer and Cup - Blaney. Really happy for Blaney and Custer. I was pulling for those 2.

Chastain winning the Cup race was nice also. Hopefully that's a good sign for the 2024 season.

And goodbye to Harvick as a full-time driver. Getting old sucks. Lol.

New TV package is worth $7.7B over 7 years . . . so $1.1B per year (a 40 percent increase over the current deal). That's a big deal - it's going to be interesting to see how this will now relate to the need for greater revenue sharing, as Denny has been calling for.

Also, Prime video is now getting involved:

• FOX Sports will carry the season's first 14 Cup Series races, including the Daytona 500 and the season-opening Busch Light Clash.

• NBC will carry the season's final 14 Cup Series races, including the Playoffs and season-ending Championship race.

• Five Cup Series races in the FOX portion of the package will be on FOX, nine on FS1.

• Four Cup Series races in the NBC portion of the package will be on NBC, while the remaining 10 on USA.

• FOX Sports, which also includes FS1, will carry the entire NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season.

• Amazon Prime Video (you'll need an Amazon Prime account) will stream five Cup races in the middle of the season.

• TNT will carry five Cup Series races in the middle of the season.

• TNT and Amazon Prime will have exclusive rights to practice and qualifying sessions.

• According to NASCAR, "Prime Video will stream practice and qualifying live for the first half of the season through their last race of the midseason series with the exceptions of the Busch Light Clash, Daytona 500 and NASCAR All-Star Race, which will remain with FOX Sports. TNT Sports will initiate its coverage with the next five midseason races simultaneously broadcast live on TNT and streaming on the B/R (Bleacher Report) Sports Add-On on Max. Practice and qualifying for the remainder of the season will stream onMax and air on truTV.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up. I assume this is all separate from the Xfinity deal with CW.

Yay

Speed week is here

Speed week is here

I'm ready! I'm pulling for 23XI to get their first championship this season. I'd prefer it be Bubba, but would be happy with Reddick as well.

I'm curious to see how Hailie Deegan does with her new team AM Racing in the 15 car in Xfinity for a full season. I don't know much about the team, but hope they'll be competitive.

Also, Toni Breidinger will be driving the 1 truck for Tricon in the truck race and she's running a full season in Arca. If she does well, she could be the next full-time trucks female driver.

I hope Chase stays away from snowboarding this time.
