@SpireMotorsport purchased @KBMteam's shop near Charlotte for almost $14.5 million,



Making moves, let's see how it plays out for them.

I like more of a solid color and less white (and other colors mixed in) like this, as I feel that it makes certain cars easier to identify during and just after restarts when the field is bunched... Alex has definitely lagged behind the other Hendrick drivers the last 2-3 years, but here's to hoping he is more competitive in 2024.

Nice looking car... can't wait to see all the other teams new schemes for 2024 as well.

Fun time of the year, seeing sponsor news and new paint colors.

I see SHR lost another sponsorship. I bet they sell a charter or two in a couple of years. Their owners seem to not care.

They are definitely going to have growing pains for sure. That's why not bringing in a KB type will hurt them for a while, I mean the 14 is the Sr guy there and at times last year he was the worst preforming car.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it either... looks a lot better than the Orange and White scheme, but just coming out on the heels on that Purple Ally car, it just isn't at that same level for me.

My favorite Hooters was the night owl. Looked sharp. The Ally car this year looks great.

That Earnhardt name still sells.

First one I ever ate at was in Johnson City, TN probably ~12-13 years ago... I live on the coast of NC and there is one up in Jacksonville, that we've probably been to a few times over the years as well... no complaints on the food here either.

I'll be honest, I never knew of them until they started sponsoring, the closest one around us is Fayetteville. When we went this past fall all the employees were wearing the NASCAR jerseys of Kyle Busch which was pretty cool.

FOX NASCAR play-by-play announcer Mike Joy will call his 45th #Daytona500 in February, his 21st for @FOXSports

Joy's first Great American Race came in 1977 as a turn announcer for @MRNRadio and included Cale Yarborough's second Daytona 500 victory, Janet Guthrie's history-making run and the first 500 for 2024 @NASCARHall nominee Ricky Rudd

@FedEx
is expected to buy roughly the same number of paint schemes in 2024 from
@JoeGibbsRacing
as it did this year, when it reduced its primary count down to around a dozen amid broader cost-cutting efforts.

FedEx began cutting back from sponsoring the full season in 2021.

I guess the fact that they are staying is a plus.

Cale Yarborough has passed away. He was a tough SOB. Another part of my NASCAR history gone.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em. Jim Valvano.

Great driver, not sure where the experts would rank him....but most likely in the Top 10 or 15.

1. Pearson, most of the real experts say so. He won w very little money.
2. Earnhardt
3. ?

Richard Petty won a lot of races but had clear edge in money. Jeff Gordon too.

David Pearson is top 2 - 3 easy. He won 105 races and for a while with the Wood Brothers they didn't run short tracks.

My father in law grew up near Cale. I was fortunate enough to meet him a time or two. Very down to earth soul.

I'd have to go with Earnhardt. Then Pearson. Petty won 200 races but there were years he ran 50+ races. DE did it with Osterlund, Bud Moore and Childress. Pearson did it with Holman Moody, Wood Bro's, Hoss Ellington, and Jr. Johnson just name a few.

He was the punisher.........whatever it took. Not much team bull**** to Earnhardt's wins......which is how Gordon won a number of races.

Such a hard question. There have been a lot of great drivers over the history of the sport. I'm not sure that I could pin one down.

Kinda like all sports, a different era and somewhat of a different game. My thought was to take the technology/money advangate and the team aspect out of the equation as best I could.

The King is The King. End of story.

Now, if you want to argue about #2 through whatever, that's up to you...
