The buzz down here is that the owners and drivers are not real happy with the way Nascar is handling the new tv deal. Word is the boys in Daytona want to get rid of the charters to get more new teams in the sport and the teams want 10 million each year from the tv money. The tv guys don't want to pay the 1 billion they have been paying due to falling ratings.  They aren't even trying to meet anymore.  There is a group of heavy hitters that could just make a move to do their own deal . Should be interesting. Can you say SRX. 

Go woke go broke

Pretty sad the car owners pulled a no show, us fans have been a no show for awhile! The cars sure aren’t stock cars anymore and I’m sorry but the Indy cars at Texas are proof that the problem with nascar isn’t the race tracks they run on but cars they run...

I am not sure loosing Daytona and Taladaga will upset car owners who most of time bring home junk and the drivers are tired of follow the leader racing and the chance of really getting hurt. SRX has proved real racing isn't important it's the show that counts and the tv numbers prove it. They want to get rid of the characters and the owners want them to be made permanent. If you look at the guys who are reps for the teams there is plenty of money to make things happen, and Smith owning eleven tracks giving plenty places to run. The drivers and owners would love to see a shorter schedule and 22 races from March to October may be very appealing for everyone involved. Everyone thought Wilksboro was history and the Rock is getting roll again. Never say never.

SRX is what most people complain about, cookie cut cars, no inginuiety.

Smith family owns most of the boring, cookie cutter 1.5 milers, tri-ovals.

Charters make it an exclusive club. The biggest name in NASCAR is sitting out of Cup because of the cost of a charter. 

This is only going to get greedier and greedier from both sides and yes the TV guys will be laughing at it.

Let's get this bad weather out of here. Open Wall Stadium again. Get Flo racing rolling and enjoy what we enjoy and let all your Denny Hamlins and billionaire owners arge this out. This is going to get ugly.

Is ray still a part of this deal? didn't see him or hear his name mentioned last year. Your fight about srx being more of a show than a race but so is cup these days, but srx seems to be getting more eyes and NASCAR seems to loosing fans every week. The fans ain't going to like the street races and I can't see how this will make money when it comes to all the safety problems these big cars are going to create. I don't think these will be a mainstay as they are running out of gimmicks to get the fans back. It's sad but no sport can go on without the fans and not just at the cup level but at your local tracks as well.

Slit won't happen, the Smith family won't take the chance of making NASCAR angry and loosing dates if it falls apart.  Plus weren't there rumors several years ago of the Smith family forming a series?

The split years ago forced the France's ISC to buy the Penske tracks because Bruton Smith owned more tracks than ISC. Gave all the power back to ISC. Bruton was the only person who could have split and maybe survived. 

A strike by the charter owners could really put a final nail in the coffin.  Look how the IRL/Champ Car struggled, if it was not for the INDY 500, not sure that would have survived.

Nice thing now is how a Saturday night NASCAR race barely effects a short track Saturday night. For a few years it looked like short tracks would have to shut down on a Bristol or Richmond Saturday night.
