I have never been to Nashville, but I will say that car looks good.

Here's @NASCAR's new spot for the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum.

Daniel Suarez's 6 race sponsorship paint from "Tootsie's Orchid Lounge".... damn.

BTG, when i first read your post, I thought it was Tootie's Orchid Lounge........and I started thinking that
my late brother Tootie would be tickled pink if he knew that there was an actual club / lounge named
Tootie's !

Thanks for posting....that is a pretty loud car. I wonder what the old timers think of a purple as the main color Nascar machine.

I'm guessing the old guys probably don't care anymore. The sport they grew and loved is long gone. Hell, other than the next fight, all some of them worried about was not having a green car to drive.

.@MarsGlobal maker of @MMsChocolate is set to exit NASCAR and JGR after the 2022 season, after a longtime run in the sport.

@Pernski: "I hope in 2022 we can focus on thanking them, and we'll be really excited to announce who will be on the car with Interstate in 2023." https://t.co/K7EUiBo4Te

That hurts. Mars has been in the sport for a long time. Interested to see who JGR has lined up.

Some key members of Mars Wrigley's executive team have changed since the last time @JoeGibbsRacing earned a renewal from the company (negotiated in 2018/announced in Feb. 2019).

Mars President Anton Vincent joined in May 2019 and Mars got a new CMO in June 2020 in Sarah Long. https://t.co/GUUGpcIcbs

.@Pernski: "There are expanded options for companies on where to spend their marketing dollars things that didn't even exist 10 years ago. Companies always have different people with different things they want to try, and it sounds like there's some things they want to try." https://t.co/6Um3Dgcw5o

NASCAR says it's going with 670 horsepower and 4-inch spoiler in 2022 at every track that isn't Daytona and Talladega. I am not a racecar driver, but those who are tell me this is good. More control to drivers instead of leaving it all to Sir Isaac Newton and air.

From what I've read, seems like the right thing to do.

Seems to be the case most of the time, tuff for sure right now with the internet and digital platforms.

She was a very fine woman. Had the pleasure to meet both Mrs. Earnhardt and Flossie Johnson years ago; both were as genuine and down to earth as you would expect.

RIP, Mrs. Earnhardt.

I'll be honest, they don't look bad at all.

Agree. We always go to around seven races a year, and I'll be honest, I'm excited to see this new car. Our first race to see live is Martinisville spring race.

I haven't been to any sporting event in years; however, I'm hoping this new car creates such good racing that it brings me back to the track.

Hell, for that matter, I might have to go see Wolfpack FB next year…

Everything is great, my way. I really just lost interest in going to live sporting events. I've come to enjoy sports on TV. That said, I might need to take in an event in 2022…

It really is. Looking forward to that.

Also, read this over if you haven't already. It's about tire testing at the re-made Atlanta track. Talk about interesting...

.@SmithfieldFoods this morning will announce that it has renewed with SHR for the 2022 season.

SHR is not releasing the number of primaries but said that Smithfield remains the anchor partner, meaning it will have the most of any brand on the No. 10 car this year. https://t.co/CTRteJr3ZR
