Dale Jr. SHOCKS EVERYONE after Secret Exposed!!

[@mikel.4885]

It shouldn't be charters if 60 cars show up they should take the 40 fastest qualifiers and if you don't make oh well try harder next weekend

[@steveshelley8442]

I agree I have said that for years

[@michaelpatton7065]

Agree 1000%

[@tritontransport]

That’s why they can’t get 60 cars to show up any more, Not even for the Daytona 500 they can barely get 40 to show up for it. A smart person wouldn’t build a car and a backup car ti show up at Daytona and only have 4 slots to get in the race. That would be foolish. The first race they had at the Brickyard over 70 teams showed up to qualify for 43 spots

[@mitchellhensley2512]

Ok, but teams are out tens of hundreds of millions of dollars....who pays the teams back if you do away with charters ?

[@mikel.4885]

@@mitchellhensley2512 it should have never been charters to begin with

[@russellfrew8595]

At one time I do believe it was 43 cars in all races. NASCAR series.

[@tritontransport]

That was when they could actually get more than 43 to show up and qualify and then they couldn’t so they hd “start and park” teams show up and would running 4 or 5 laps and park the car. They’d run the same set of tires for half a dozen races. Actually before the 43 it was 42. They added the 43 spot for the “past champions provisional” essentially so Richard petty could into the race because otherwise he wasn’t fast enough anymore. Then Darrell waltrip used it every week for several years for the same reason. And prior to the 42 and then 43 it was based on the size of the track. Pit stalls are a lot different at the short tracks than they used to be. Tracks like Bristol and Martinsville only had space for 32 or 36. Some tracks the starting field was 38. Talladega was 44

[@PatriciaBowser-y5j]

Tony and Gene are smart. They know NASCAR is not going anywhere.

[@alanscott8719]

Nascar is going down

[@SStudiopro]

It is starting to look that way. Ever since Dale Sr. passed away, it’s been on a downward spiral

[@alanscott8719]

It doesn't matter Nascar sucks look at caution they pulled Sunday night to get pretty boy Hamlin back up front really terrible

[@beversluis1]

OK libtard doucheflute

[@Tennessee_Jon]

If you show up with top 20 speed there’s no need to invest on a charter. I’m pretty sure that if Dale brings a cup team to the track it’ll be partnered with Hendrick and Chevrolet so outside of crashing before the car completes a qualifying lap odds are that car will make every race with ease. Yeah that tv money would help but his name on the team would come close to making up for that.

[@74stang2togo]

Without a charter, you get virtually no money from the purse and TV revenue.

[@pb68slab18]

Someone said years ago that NA$CAR is selling drama, much like WWE. The racing has become mundane. The drivers have become ''characters''. The soap-opera is what's keeping people interested.

[@joelprice1470]

Just think Jr Motorsports would be cup racing if the charter system didn't exist

[@jimparker7778]

It's all about TV. TV advertisers are spending big money. The national economy is in a dark place today which is bad for TV advertising rates.

[@davebryant8050]

They need to be worried about nobody ever being in the stands and actually think about having a real unscripted race and stop making up girly cheating stores and other gossip.

[@gmantubs]

I totally understand the sentiment of everyone hating the charter system but it’s literally the only realistic way to keep the sport around as a nationally televised and respected sport. With that being said NASCAR could/should revamp the charter system to allow for more non-charter teams to qualify and compete. The problem is, with the next gen car it’s nearly impossible for non charter teams to be able to afford to build their own car let alone two. The car hasn’t been out long enough for there to be a surplus of parts that people could get on the “cheap”. With all things change are inevitable it’s just all about balance.

[@ScottLachapelle-d2l]

NASCAR died right after Dale senior died

[@SStudiopro]

And nascar needs Tony Stewart but I understand why Tony doesn’t need NASCAR

[@Johnny-es1wl]

NO it didn't. Dale was at the end and sucked. Yeah he won a race or two but was never gonna win am 8th.

[@SStudiopro]

@@Johnny-es1wl Maybe so but we will never know

[@Johnny-es1wl]

@@SStudiopro We do know if we look at the stats. People just run on feelings. YEP NASCAR is a whole lot different than it was in 2001, there is a reason for that. It is because the racing sucked. Watch a race form the ol days that isn't one of those that are one of the very few amazing races. THEY SUCKED. The changes were for a reason. I have been a fan since I watched the 79 Daytona race with my dad. The racing is hands down 1000% better today. I don't really nap in the middle of a race anymore. I will sat though trucks and Xfinity are hands down way better than cup.

[@JohnManuel-jh2me]

I don't think NASCAR going to be around much longer sponsors are getting ready to pull out shame it was the thing back in the day was my wish to see a race but not now

[@cgrizzy8205]

This could be the silliest thing I've seen all day

[@hasletjoe5984]

Fans drive the sport, at Texas Motor Speedway they removed all the back straightaway seats. No demand. When I catch glimpse of a race, it is a tell tale when they do not focus on the stands. I live 20 minutes from the track, I can not even tell when there is a race there anymore. No excess traffic. And no, I quit watching/following the NASCAR Series 10 years ago. Sponsors are leaving as fans have left.

[@MarcusGuenther-g1f]

Agreed! $$$ more /less real driving killing motorsports alot of commercials will never be the same RIP Nascar RIP!!!

[@amorris1970]

I understand the charters 100%. I think they are not needed. NASCAR cant even get 40 cars to anyone race. So, every team that shows up, will race. NASCAR is on the down hill. They are running on fumes. I will give NASCAR 5 years and they will close their doors. NASCAR has ruined racing with all their rules. They get too involved with the racing.

[@SStudiopro]

Charters are just a money grabbing scheme by nascar for nascar

[@derekferrin5785]

This is a very dumb take it literally makes millions every year and is on the rise

[@amorris1970]

@@derekferrin5785 First off it is not on the rise. SHR is selling them for less than half of what they paid for them. Secondly, NASCAR can not get 40 cars to any given race. Its been this way for the last few years. New teams can make the race, without having a charter. So, really what is the use for charters? All the cars that show up to a race, will make the race. As far as making millions. The charters do not make millions, after they shell out 40-50 million for a charter. So, the returns dont match the payouts.

[@derekferrin5785]

That because Tony wants out not because nascar is failing and the reason why there isn’t more cars is because of charters. Not because it’s failing

[@amorris1970]

@@derekferrin5785 I totally disargee. NASCAR for the last 5 years so, has not gotten a full field of cars. That being the case charter values are dropping fast. Because charters are not needed to make the race. Just like JR. said, I am not paying for something I can not make a profit on. The Owners needed charters when NASCAR was in its prime. When 43-46 cars showed up for a race. Those days are long gone. And will never come back. So, one could say that the car owners are part of NASCAR down fall. With the charter system. Any new team will not get much sponsorship because the charter system has priced them out. So, again the charter system is apart of NASCARs decline.

[@richall9654]

CER (Childress Earnhardt Racing)? With Jr having the copyright to his famed #8, Childress already looking at JRM alum Noah Gregson (and voicing his dismay at friend Smoke leaving). Could this be a NASCAR dream team that would benefit both RCR and JRM in the long haul?

[@kallsop2]

In 2023 most races had 36 cars, or all of the charter teams. A few had 37, a couple had 39, and the first race of the year at Daytona had 40. I get the reason for the charter system, its just that it was instituted about 15 years too late. They only have a full field of 40 a couple of times a year. The small independent teams that only ran a few races a year don't exist anymore, and when there’s more than 36 cars it's usually an existing team running an unchartered car for a driver to get experience at the Cup level. I don't think they even have a past champions provisional anymore. Other than Jimmy Johnson, who was the last past champion to even run a race? If they ended the charter system, I doubt very seriously it would affect the car counts.

No more stage races go back to real racing Like the days of old No crying then you get the #3 car you best move after the first tap cause next time you won't race cause Dale taught why he was the intimidator Come on Nascar let's go back to real racing. Drivers of old would turn over in their graves how Nascar is doing today.
