@Crocs @NASCAR

The two have officially signed a licensing deal, continuing the racing series' recent trend of acquiring new merchandise partners.

Shoe brand Crocs has signed an official licensing deal with NASCAR, continuing the racing series' recent streak of bringing on new merchandise partners. The agreement will be announced later this morning and will result in the Colorado-based foam footwear manufacturer selling a new NASCAR-branded collection of shoes starting at retailers, wholesalers and the Crocs website beginning Monday. Consumers who have the Crocs app downloaded will get an early purchasing window starting tomorrow. The foam shoes will have designs like checkered flag graphics, NASCAR's color pattern, charms and LED devices.

In 2006, Crocs made its first play in NASCAR with several team-side licensing deals with the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing and Richard Childress Racing. NASCAR Managing Dir of Licensing & Consumer Products Megan Malayter noted that Crocs is a well-known shoe brand and that the deal "gives NASCAR fans a fun, functional way to put their passion on display ... and provides NASCAR another important opportunity to meet new consumers and potential fans where they are." The Crocs deal is the latest for Malayter's licensing department as NASCAR works to build its cool factor through its approach to merchandise.

About time for some racing, ( weather not looking good ). Like I mentioned on another site, what is the future of SHR going forward? They seem light on sponsors, and I'm not sure if they will be around next year at this time. Their deal with Ford will be telling, right now they have to run 4 cars in Cup. The deal ends this year.

Isn't Tony Stewart going to concentrate on NHRA taking over for Leah Pruitt while she gets started on their family?

Yes, Tony is racing full time in NHRA this year. Tony has also sold his dirt series to Larson.

Right thing to do. Also, with a 22 car field and heat-qualifying being canned, some big names could be going home.

Dang, didn't even know the race was tonight…. I'll tune in after our game.

🚨🚨🚨REVISED TUNE IN: Due to the weather forecast on Sunday #NASCAR has moved The Busch Light Clash @lacoliseum to tonight. See the updated schedule below. Share the word. Tell your friends where and when. 🚗💨🏁🏆 pic.twitter.com/BRn64RUXZt

Glad the bowling is over lol

Congrats to the 11. Personally thought the race was okay, looks like it is moving next year.

It needs to. I'm not saying move it back to Daytona (which is my preference). I mean go to Phoenix, Texas or even Homestead. I really miss Speed Weeks. We'd RV down and spend the entire 2 weeks in the infield of Daytona prior to the 500.

---

Daytona had a great run. I miss it also, but for whatever reason the fans either stopped going and towards the end it didn't get a lot of buzz. My guess is that they move the Clash to Mexico next year. They didn't bring the Mexico series there for no reason.

That would make sense.

I mean people seem to not like baseball being played on a football field or the other way around, but NASCAR or any racing on a football field is good?

Yawn. I'm glad that I didn't even know it was on and potentially be dumb enough to try to watch it... if I was vastly disappointed watching it in Year 1, I know that I would have been disappointed having to watch that mess in Year 3.

But on an empty Sunday afternoon on the weekend in between the Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl at 1 or 2 o'clock, you can be damned sure that I would have had my ass parked on the couch in my home office watching the Busch Clash at Daytona.

It used to be the opening of Speed Weeks and it built the excitement prior to "everything" at Daytona.

Just so dumb. Don't use the most famous and exciting track in the series...

The problem was the stands and the buzz were gone by the time the Clash moved. I don't have a problem with it moving around, it's a none points race. Gives people in other areas the opportunity to see a race.

I get it, but there aren't tracks everywhere either. Like I said, I'm glad that it's probably going somewhere else next year.

It was a cool idea but 3 years is too much. Just like the dirt race and Wilkesboro will be the same if they keep doing it. I like that they're trying to spice it up though. It had gotten stale.

Agree with Glass about Daytona. Miss those days. Just seems like the start of the season belongs there.

America has just changed so much. Different place now.

I could never get into the dirt race. Glad it's gone. We can thank FOX wanting the race and possibly lose a team owner over that.

I can remember a time when Riverside or Ontario, Calif was the 1st race.

LOL....that makes two of us.

"When Penn Entertainment was granted permission to develop what became its Hollywood Casino at NASCAR's Kansas Speedway, it also pledged to build an adjacent hotel...No such hotel has materialized...The developer has preferred to pay $13 million in fines."

1963 - 1981. Ran in January...

Edited to add: They actually had two races a year there for most years, and I definitely remember them racing at Riverside (Dad was a huge Petty fan) - but you have to remember that this was still basically in the "radio only" era of almost all of the NASCAR races, so you have to forgive us for not remembering when the races were scheduled. Riverside was a road racing track as well.

That's cool. I had forgotten about that race. Sirius XM NASCAR runs old races sometimes and they played an old Riverside race.

I remember, as a kid, listening to a race on the radio. As a kid, I didn't listen to the whole race (attention span wasn't good); however, I would listen, go play, and come back for the end. Similar to today, just now, I lwatch, fall asleep, and come back for the end.

Yes, those were the radio days. Early days of MRN. Remember the very first race to be shown flag to flag live was the 79 Daytona 500. Ontario MS was a 2.5 mile oval similar to Indy. Looks like it had more banking in the turns at 9 degrees

To this day I turn off the volume and listen to either MRN or PRN. So much better than tv. I also play the scanner as well.
