NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell on the potential of @Dodge getting back into Cup: "I want to make sure that they and the sport get it right, so yes I'd love to see them in 2027. But it's more important for all of us to make it's a successful launch for Dodge."

Dodge still hasn't figured out their engine. And many other problems as well.

It might be 29 before Dodge gets fully back in

Unless I'm unaware, Dodge still hasn't developed a power plant. Now, I've heard and read that Penske could help in this ( Penske used to run Dodge but this more so picking up the old engine not Penske or Ford building them ) but that's been a few years. And tech changes. Also, I just have reservations about Kaulig Racing being Dodge's flag ship team? It's a small two car team that I doubt has the resources and space for that kind of undertaking. I guess time will tell?

Yep, saying old engines are available, but outdated. Or like you said, team up with another manufacturer.

The only other outside builder who may help is ECR? I doubt Ford and Toyota will?

Brad Kes and the Penske "Blue Deuce" both started off as a Dodge didn't they?

(I might better go check the "Penske File" to make sure)

Folks in the industry have been begging NASCAR to do this, and like you, I agree.

We'll be arriving Saturday. Think we're planning on heading to the hard rock to watch the pack play before heading to the race that evening

Shows how much I know. I had no clue that Bristol had a Hard Rock Cafe - let alone that it's a casino... would I at least be correct to assume that it must be on the Virginia side of the line there?

Yeah the Bristol hard rock is just across the state line in Virginia. We're staying just up the road from it with the limited options close to the track

Not sure where you are parking or if you have been before but pay attention to how the traffic is going to be let out of the lots. It can be a major headache.

Could be an interesting race tomorrow with a few chase drivers starting back in the field. Especially with no practice and the same package as the spring race. I know Byron in the spring started back in the field and was lapped early, will be interesting to see if those chase cars back there can make up ground in the first stage

Bristol Motor Speedway will give out yellow towels to fans entering the confines tomorrow to wave during Lap 18 of the NASCAR Bass Pro Shops Night Race in honor of Kyle Busch.

@MMSChocolate, Joe Gibbs Racing and the Busch family worked with the track on the giveaway.
