    Lots of hopeful rumors that Dale Jr. is buying out Gene Haas' part of the biz and either A) Getting the #10 & #41 team charters & equipment with Chevy backing or B) SHR going back to Chevrolet after 2025.

    I don't think Tony hangs around much longer either. He either figures out how to get Dodge back in NASCAR or sells his stock in SHR. He's all in with NHRA, Leah and Dodge. Just seems as though something has to give in his NASCAR responsibilities and loyalties.

    I purchased it with all the excitement and fake promises. I probably completed less than 20% of the races I started for various reasons. At least Heat allowed you to put in setups which also allowed you to offset your wheel so you weren't constantly fighting the car wanting to drift left. Plus you can actually look around to see the cars around you.

    I no longer have many sources in the biz, so this is speculation based on social media comments. Tony, Gene & Dale Jr. were reportedly seen together having meetings at SHR in April-May.

    I was a (small) part of this effort. I wish we could get some 1/24 diecasts in the office to display:

    What's the story on how they got that hot rod into the swamp/wetlands? Or is it CGI?

    Either way, Congratulations on a phenomenal paint scheme and location of chosen shoot!

    Savy editing from the graphic designer. What you can do with AI now is wild—Clicking, dragging, stretching, massaging. I'm hoping they'll have a wrapped car at ICAST. Josh Williams was there last year with Star Brite. There was an NHRA top alcohol dragster as well with the driver. It really drew people into the booth. Having anything other than a boat in the booth is a big plus.

    Dunno if Matt leaves Chevy.

    They gave him a C8 Corvette.

    But... He was mentioned on a Jr Download podcast. Maybe Jr gives him a 2nd chance via Xfinity...?!

    I mean Kyle Busch was basically the face of Toyota and he got quite a bit from them. We all know what happened there.

    I watched bits and pieces. No exciting parts though

    I caught it right at the end... Another top 10 for the 25.

    For those keeping count... That's 4 in a row.
