NASCAR slaps Front Row with huge penalties after Pocono violation

NASCAR has issued an L2-level penalty against Front Row Motorsports’ No.34 team following last weekend’s race at Pocono after a technical violation was detected during post-race inspect…

At the conclusion of the season, Camping World will no longer be the entitlement sponsor of the truck series.


Edit: But wait, possibly Craftsman could be coming back!

More sponsors leaving. Not a big surprise. What would be great is if there were an alternative to NASCAR like they are doing in golf. LIV golf throwing around big money to recruit stars and the PGA which has had a monopoly on golf since its inception and then crying about it. The whole playoff format is unpopular. Stage racing AKA staged racing where there is a predetermined winner also not popular. Putting a race in a ghetto like downtown Chicago to make Michael Jordan and his bum driver might be the most unpopular of all. The path NASCAR is taking is slowly putting it to rest. Just look at the stands and the TV ratings. Majority going down.
 
And just like a typical whiner, you show up all the time parroting all the same nonsense yet still stick around just to what, complain some more? If you're so convinced its done and its this and its that, why on earth are you still watching?

He enjoys feeling bad and/or is hoping one day he will be proven right so he can gloat over everyone.

You're both taking the b8.
 
Bryon's team is not off to a great start, at least the car wasn't damaged.

Now we know how the 24's going to get it's flames on future throwback races. 🤣
 
No bait here fishface, just truth. Go to any NASCAR page on actual social media and read the comments about the Chicago race being taken from Road America
 
Interesting to see the Lebron James Foundation sponsorship on the #17. Gets you wondering if LeBron will be more involved with NASCAR down the road.

He has stake in the Fenway Sports Group.

I'd like to see him go head to head with Jordan in this. LeBron is the best ever in the NBA. It would be fantastic to see him put him in his place with an actual wheel man

I know that being a grumpy contrarian is part of your shtick, but you have genuinely confused me here.

I thought your line of trolling generally consisted of "older is better" or "these new kids aren't half as talented as the previous generations were" and other similar tropes.

How that typical mentality equates to you picking LeBron over Jordan is unequivocally mind-boggling to me. I'd sooner expect you to pick Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell, then maybe Jordan, but never LeBron.
 
I think his brand of grumpy contrarian schtick is just maximum noise in a vacuum (The basic foundation of a hot take) and peppering in whatever nonsensical BS you can justify it with. Next thing you'll know, he'll bring up how Jesse Iwuji is a better driver.

Certainly gives the average complaining fans who don't know what they want a run for their money.

There once was a time when people knew that you shouldn't be feeding a troll, and to help with that GTP has an ignore function. It would be for the best if people start using it.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like most social media platforms where they make people disappear completely.

I think this is what happens when "Team Chemistry" is maxed out. :lol:

I really admire AJ for how clean he drives - not scratch on his car, as a rule. On the other hand, you can see why he's not terribly feared at the Cup level. Logano has used the nickname of "Age" for poor old AJ.

Probably sums up the day for Hezemann's team.

Insert in soviet russia joke

Edit: Also, one more little tidbit. This is the second race where the entire field has not once raced against Dale Earnhardt at the cup level. Kurt Busch is the last one.

Single file restarts would probably fix a lot of that tbh

He had some sort of issue. After that pic he was pushed around back to pit road by a safety vehicle.
 
Again all these B/S piles ups on restarts can be avoided or reduced if they just bunched them single file.

Well, the road course is definitely not boring.
 
Chastain gets the 5 second GT Sport penalty. :lol:
