I know he isn't the most popular driver at the moment, but I'd like to see what he could do in a better ride.

.@RPMotorsports Owner Andrew Murstein: "We have been approached recently by three other drivers inquiring about the No. 43 ride. One of which is a current star. However, our focus is on [trying to renew] Bubba. We also offered Bubba a huge pay raise for next year."

My feeling reading the initial statement from the Wallace folks is that he's probably looking to make a move. RPM may certainly want him back, but their press release seems like standard material when silly season gets started.

Start time: 3 p.m. ET (Green flag at 3:18 p.m. ET)
The green flag for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire is scheduled to wave at 3:18 p.m. ET, assuming there are no rain delays as there have been so often since NASCAR returned to live racing in May.

Though NASCAR will have plenty of time to get the race in with the sun not setting in Loudon until shortly after 8 p.m. ET, the relatively late start time for an afternoon race is notable because New Hampshire Motor Speedway does not have lights.

During pre-race inspection, the No. 32 Ford of Corey LaJoie and the No. 43 Chevrolet of Bubba Wallace were found to have improperly mounted ballast.

The crew chiefs of both teams Ryan Sparks for LaJoie and Jerry Baxter for Wallace have been suspended from today's race. Both cars have also lost their respective starting position and will begin the race from the rear of the field.

Wallace was slated to start 15th through the random draw and LaJoie 33rd.

Each team has also been issued 10-point owner and driver penalties.

NASCAR will issue an official penalty report next week.

The No. 3 Chevrolet of Austin Dillon will go to the rear of the field at the start for unapproved adjustments.

Andrew Murstein says that RPM has another new sponsorship it is about to announce, and he's hoping this run of deals will help convince @BubbaWallace to renew.

RPM also offered Wallace an equity stake, as @DavidSmithMA first reported; it's in the 10-20% range, per source. https://t.co/A7Xgorl8eX

.@LFR95 owner @BLeavine has entered advanced negotiations to sell the team after this season, per sources, and an announcement could come soon.

There have been multiple bidders, but industry sources have pegged @TheSpireAgency as the leading candidate.

Lots of news coming out today, surprised about the change at CGR...sad to see LFR go...the model needs changing. Also, makes me think of TRD and JGR.

Why?

Oh, it's Richard Petty Motorsports. They aren't concerned with winning.

Funny how Richard and Kyle (correctly) said Danica was no race car driver, and if she was a man she wouldn't have a ride....and then he is offering a guy who is basically the male Danica more money?

JRM is honored to pay tribute to the life and legacy of John Andretti with the No. 8 #PoppyBank Chevrolet that @DanielHemric will pilot @TooToughToTame. The colors and graphics reflect Andretti's familiar 1995-96 Cup Series scheme. #CheckIt4Andretti #JohnAndretti

Why? It's kinda easy they don't have the money that CGR can offer...I don't like it either but it's their only option.

Care to expound on your last statement? You left it like a wife baiting her husband in a disagreement.

.@NBCSN earned 2.2 million viewers for Sunday's #Foxwoods301 @NHMS, down from 2.8 million for last year's race.

Sunday's race, the fourth most-watched sports event of the weekend, did face stronger-than-usual competition by going up against live NBA, NHL and PGA Tour action.

No baiting...just the image portrayed doesn't often match up with the actions behind the scenes. I won't go into a list of the ones i know about and some may call it shrewd or just business...but I've dealt with every major owner in the garage...and the ones that aren't there anymore...and those are just my thoughts about that one. But more importantly...guys who bought it are great and I'm pulling for em.

.@TheGlenPrez on if @NASCAR is returning to WGI in 2021: "Absolutely, no question about it. ... This place is pretty passionate and (The Frances are) pretty passionate about this place. We're waiting for the schedule to come out in the next few weeks."

Richard said if Danica was a male driver with the same skill, nobody would ever know if she showed up at a racetrack.
Now they have pretty much that exact driver working for them, that's all. It's kind of funny how that works.

Maybe he should hire Danica out of retirement. THAT would be some publicity

NASCAR New Hampshire ratings lowest since at least 1998.
-- Race faced PGA/NBA/NHL; last year, it faced NHRA and BIG3
-- Third-straight race to hit historic low

NASCAR also announces the choose rule will be used in national series races starting this weekend at Michigan. The only places it won't be used are road courses and superspeedways.

Welcome, choose rule era!

I was at the Bristol race and I'm on the fence about it. Didn't seem to add much. Seemed like less drama on re starts since everyone got their lane?.

.@Erik_Jones is not expected to return to @JoeGibbsRacing next year, as @FoxSports said, opening up the No. 20 for @CBellRacing in the scenario long predicted once @LFR95's sale became likely.

The official announcement from JGR could come in the next few days, per sources.
