Ford adding a team. Two cars next year.

Alpha Prime Racing is aligning with Ford and will field two full-time Ford-supported O'Reilly Series teams in 2027.

Not a Ford guy, but I think this is great for the sport. Not enough Ford's running in the Cup Series this current year, IMO...

this is perfect race morning weather....thank god it's gonna stay in the mid 80's today

Glad to hear that you made it through the night. Hope she wasn't too rough on you...

Sunday, September 6
10:45 a.m., IMSA Ford Mustang Challenge: COTA Race 2, Peacock
4:30 p.m., NASCAR Cup Series: USA Sports Prerace, USA Network
5 p.m., NASCAR Cup Series: Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, USA Network
9 p.m., NASCAR Cup Series: USA Sports Post-Race, USA Network
8:30 p.m., ARCA Menards Series: Audubon Park 100 at DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, FS1
Editor's Note: The 2026 NASCAR TV Schedule is updated weekly throughout the season.

I was wondering about the early start time.

Some have asked about the 5p ET start for for Southern 500. NASCAR says it and TV partner, with the length of the race (race goes more than 4 hours), they wanted it to end earlier, considering the TV audience and fans at-track.

Damn. It's like the brass is finally starting to think it's important for people to watch... using a little common sense for once.

Great start time for me.

*Now if you and ernie end up hooking up down there, one of the two of you better post about it. I guess ge_traveller will be there today also?

Unfortunately, I'm at the house this weekend. Came down with something, sucks. I hope that everyone down there this weekend sees a good one.

Green flag is now 5.

Martinsville up next

there was a Wolfpack tent few cars down from me backed up to the treeline for the front stretch parking lot. I was kinda afraid to approach them as they seemed like a wild bunch with tons of alcohol running thru their veins lol

Wish we made it, but I'm just now feeling well. Our next one is Bristol and we are ready. As for the race, I thought it was a good one. Ernie, where did you park?

we were backup to the treeline. Nice shade. Parked next to some VT fans

glad you are feeling better!!

Thanks. Looks like a great spot. How long did it take ya'll to get out?

Tell me that wasn't one of the best paint jobs you've ever seen in your entire life!

Didn't mind seeing Bell winning either, probably if I "had" to pull for a Toyota in NASCAR - he'd probably be the one... (I hope you are listening Hendrick, time to get our sht together - and soon!)

Aw heck... I figured you guys might enjoy seeing this. This is from Saturday evening, the EF1 lifted or whatever exactly 1650 Feet from where I'm sitting next to the window in my upstairs home office (facing that direction), watching the storm outside my window and flipping between college football games / weather alerts... no coverage of any rotation occurring on TV as this was apparently happening though, lol... and it had been absolutely pouring and blowing trees like crazy for 45 minutes to an hour already, so I never heard or noticed anything different than what I'd already been watching.

Based on where the path of the trees were down on the golf course after it lifted the rotation probably passed around 1225 Feet to the south of my house.

EF0 lifted / stopped about 2850 SF from (to the north) my house as far as I can confirm right now.

*ernie - glad you had a good trip and enjoyed the race Sunday evening...

about 2 hours,,,,but I had to drop off 2 cats I've been cat sitting in Mullins, plus we went into Florence to look around as I use to live on Dargan St there...so I took my time lol

Happy for Josh, but as a Ford fan I hate it.

Legacy Motor Club officially announces that Josh Berry has signed with the team to drive its No. 42 Toyota in 2027. https://t.co/L7UEb7wfi0

I heard JH Nemechek went off on the Legacy Motor guys when he was told they were releasing him from his contract last week, said it wasn't pretty.

Interesting. It must have been bad considering that LMC is buying him out.
