Are we going to live to see the day when Indycar is the top dog in the United States? Would be crazy to see, but NASCAR just keeps losing viewers while Indycar keeps growing.
Getting closer to a full field. I believe Danica has committed as well as a couple of drivers from IMSA have committed plus all the full time drivers. Let's be realistic Bump Day is never going to matter again. Motor sports in this country is extremely niche and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
True, but I will be surprised if someone like Pipa Mann ends up racing it. I think the really positive sign is we have new teams this year and existing teams have added more drivers. That is huge for the growth of the series to have teams outside of the normal Indycar teams that have been around for decades.Adding up the number of Race 6 (Indy 500) entries, I get 34 cars. Of course, it's February and it will change but as of right now somebody is going home.

What a shitshow.
winning the daytona 500 used to mean something. now its just whos lucky to be alive at the end of the race
36 teams for Atlanta, 0 non-chartered teams.
Dale Sr. certainly agrees with that.
Bubba seems like a decent guy and I hope he does well. All the old guys do nothing more than bug me anymore and they hurt NASCAR in my opinion. Glad to see Danica wreck out in her final race. Will be interesting to see if she does well at Indy and can use that to get a ride in Indycar. She was always much better in open wheel cars.
Probably, she has run the 24 hours of Daytona a couple of times and done OK. Both of her old bosses Andretti and Rahal have teams so it could happen.IMSA (or whatever the fuck it is called now) perhaps?
Why do they keep talking about "the new Camaro" as if it's taking the chevy teams time to figure it out? I thought all the cars were the exact same except for the decals? Did they get rid of the car of tomorrow shit?
Penalized for iti did see it noted where the back right side of kevin harvick's rear window basically caves in under speed at las vegas. he passed tech so i'm sure you'll start seeing that from alot of other cars here real soon. The "flared fenders" of 2018
Penalized for it
