@TheCW once again topped 1 million viewers for a NASCAR Xfinity race with Saturday's action at Martinsville (1.014 million), the first time since 2017 that the series has done that over the first seven events of the season.

Saturday's viewership was up 19% from last year.

Agree. Sounds like Harvick had the idea and put it in gear.

Hendrick 1-2-3-5
Gibbs 4-6 *Bell still the "real" points leader with the 3 wins.
23XII 7-8
Penske 9-10
Chastain 13
Busch 16
Berry 19 *But has the win already meaning Busch is one spot out.

Hendrick and Gibbs, the big two. I know Chase is doing fine points wise, but he sure isn't winning like he used to.

That site aerial you showed us a couple of months back of the current development already underway sure didn't look like they were trying very hard to hold onto any land for it, so not very surprising... just confirms what you, me and others had already figured.

Yep. That one really pops...

Tony the Tiger and the Petty car will be nice to see as well. I kind of like Bell's old school DeWalt paint scheme too. Unique.

I like the Josh Berry car because they really went out there for something different and extremely cool. That's a Lotus Indy can, powered by Ford, from the 60's.

Agree, cool looking car. The 5 is cool looking as well. My favorites are when the number and sponsor match for a throw back, but that doesn't happen much anymore.

Going into LAST SEASON, Ty Gibbs is one that I thought would have broke through for a win by now... he's had a rough time of it these last 15 months. Not everyone can win, but maybe this helps.

Smith is really good at his job. And I agree that this can't hurt.

Agree. Sounds like Harvick had the idea and put it in gear.



Any idea when the last time a Late Model Stock race was nationally televised? Has it ever happened?

Maybe the 80's early 90's TNN days??

I know I've seen some late night reruns of 80's Late Model Sportsman races from Bristol and Richmond on ESPN in the last couple years.

Best I could find. My first thought would have been the old Hooters series, but I would be wrong.


The first nationally televised late model race, a dirt late model event, was a race at the now-closed Santa Fe Speedway near Chicago, televised live on ESPN in 1987. Per Google

I had it on while I was watching the Baseball game. Next thing I look up and they are interviewing Brandon Jones. They do go by fast. But man I love Darlington.

That's cool, Didn't the owner / founder of Hooters run that series?
The Hooters Pro Cup Series, later reorganized into the CARS Tour, was founded by Hooters owner Robert Brooks to honor the memories of his son Mark Brooks, Alan Kulwicki, Dan Duncan, and Charlie Campbell, who died in a plane crash in 1993.


Here's a more detailed breakdown:


  • Hooters and Racing:
    Hooters, the restaurant chain, became involved in racing through its owner, Robert Brooks, who had a passion for motorsports.
  • The Tragedy:
    In 1993, a plane crash tragically claimed the lives of Brooks' son Mark Brooks, NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki, Dan Duncan, and pilot Charlie Campbell.
  • Creating the Series:
    To honor the memory of those lost, Brooks created the Hooters Pro Cup Series (initially as the Hooters Cup Late Model Series) in 1995.
  • Evolution of the Series:
    The Hooters Pro Cup Series ran from 1997 to 2014, and in 2014 it was reorganized into the CARS Tour.
  • CARS Tour:
    The CARS Tour continues to operate as a sanctioning body for stock car racing, carrying on the legacy of the Hooters Pro Cup Series.

Agree, Darlington is a great track. Outside of Charlotte, they know how to treat the fans.

Annual repost. From 2009: My favorite classic drive to my favorite egg-shaped racetrack. Cruising from Charlotte to Darlington. And do not speed in McBee
