The number looks absolutely tiny. It's going to take me a long time to get on board with the movement of them forward.

For me the # positioning is just fine, it's just that I thought teams would have given us far more creative, vibrant schemes than what we've seen so far to compliment the forward movement of the number. Also with all that extra room on the side of the cars ideally you'd think it would push the designer's creativity some. I'm a Chase fan, but his new paint job is just uninspired and boring to me.

Candy Man's Battery car is the best we've seen so far, followed by Bacon Boi's.

Keep in mind they're also at the mercy of the sponsor's marketing departments, who probably want as similar a design as possible from last year's (because that way they can recycle existing promotional material for one more year and save some money), which is why a lot of them are just taking the existing design and shunting everything forwards. I imagine we won't see the real potential of the extra space until they start doing special one-offs to really experiment with it.

It should go a little better since it seems there's a good chance nobody will go home, which is probably why the team is even bothering giving it a go.

38 teams at best are confirmed for the 500 aside from the 27 team.

Remember when 10-15 or even more cars would miss the 500?

Granted most of them were either one-offs running a larger team's year old equipment, or the team themselves running a 4th/5th/6th entry with their own year-old equipment, or a Busch team running their parent Cup team's year old equipment, and you would never see those cars for the rest of the year after their 500 attempt.
 

I’ll be updating the OP later today with the schedule.

EDIT: The OP has now been updated with the new schedule.

Or even go back further to the 1994 Brickyard 400 where we saw 84 cars attempt to make the race.
 
So guess who've jumped into the NFT train:

I'm gonna bet that Junior got paid a flat fee by this Autograph company to use his name and he won't see a cent from the sales of these, even if they go for way more than what he was paid. That seems to be the general M.O. for these crypto-bro outfits.
 
RWR has confirmed they're cutting back to 2 cars, Cody will be in the #51 full time while the #15 will be a revolving door with David Ragan and Ryan Preece being two of the drivers.

Apart from Cody returning everything I've heard over the last few months fills me with hope Rick is finally trying to make his team something other than a running joke. Hopefully that is indeed the case.
 
Neat video.

Shame that Davison might not get another chance. I wonder if he has a ride anywhere for 2022.
 
Tony Stewart will be Jeff's replacement in the booth for the Clash and 500.

 
Interesting that some of them are down shifting into 3, then up shifting on the front stretch. Others are just staying in 5th.

Better than on video. Less farty 😆

I was wondering because all the videos I've seen make them sound a little farty. It's hard to get an accurate to life sound on a video.

Here's a short video. Not sure if it depicts the sound very well.
