#1 will need a volunteer to start 2026 topic unless you just want to change date on this topic again

#2 Adam Stern reports
Commissioner Steve Phelps is leaving NASCAR ahead of the 2026 season, according to an official announcement from the sanctioning body this morning

Wolfer question
Fall-out from trial?

---

Question 2, yes, unfortunately after the trial he had lost all credibility within the garage. I heard that this was coming. Also, look for the playoff format to be released here soon.

Question 1, I don't mind with either starting a new thread or just renaming this one?

---

Once we get to the Shoot out we can start a new thread. Maybe around the 19th of January

Sounds good to me, anything ya'll want to do. I'm ready to see cars on track, already got our races booked for the year.

Which ones are you going to?

Martinsville, Richmond, Bristol, Darlington, and Charlotte. I've been a season ticket holder at Charlotte for many of years. Wife has put a cap on races.

I'm going to Daytona and Darlington. May try to squeeze in the 600 in Charlotte

---

I love Darlington great place. I hate to say this but I've never been to Daytona. I need to go, my FIL works with NASCAR and he's always telling me that I need to go. Have fun down there!

When they had Speedweeks me and some buddies would spend just about the entire month of Feb. in a RV in the infield at Daytona.

Congrats on being able to get back down there for Daytona again.

10-4 on the Speedweeks memory, I knew many people in North Carolina back in the day, that would do the same (or at least the two full weeks when the Cup teams were down there).

It was blast. I think infield parking in the 80's for an RV was less than $50 a day. We all had race tickets but we'd end up sitting on top of the RV is chairs

Some news of the day.

We'll see you at @DAYTONA, Seven-Time! @JimmieJohnson is guaranteed a spot in the 68th running of the #DAYTONA500.

Many fans are celebrating Steve Phelps' departure. However, many within the NASCAR industry don't share this sentiment -- especially on the team side as they view him as an ally to help make NASCAR better. https://t.co/H2BHdTCz1i pic.twitter.com/Gfs38HQqyQ
