So breaking news, some youtuber got invited to a dodge thing because the 2026 Dodge Ram has a Hemi or something, and accidentally showed a Craftsman Truck Series body for the Dodge Ram.

The video is private so I can't watch it to prove this is in it, but if its true welcome back Dodge, hopefully they stick around longer. If real the announcement must be close if they have it out in the open in some showroom.
EDIT:
Clip from the video taken from @KensethFan17_20 on Twitter.

Ram has a announcement on the 8th, so official news soon probably.

Years and years of 4th OEM circlejerk...and it's once again the obvious choice.

Welcome back Dodge, how long before we get Bubba in a Hellcat?

I was hopeful the 4th OEM was going to be something utterly retarded like Honda or Tesla or something like that. Hell, bring back Pontiac, please GM.

I don't see 23XI switching Manufacturers yet, of course it will probably be a few years before Dodge tries to enter the Cup and Xfinity (or whatever it is by then) series, but I'd look towards some of lesser teams. I could totally see Legacy, Haas, and whatever team has the 66 switching to Dodge.

I'm so used to American companies making retarded, anti-consumer decisions that Dodge apologizing to their customers, bringing back the Hemi, putting it in trucks and announcing that they're coming back to Nascar seems like a fever dream. It's rare that a company values its customers over its shareholders, investors, and the government for those sweet contracts.

Heck, I bet the Hemi is better for racial unity than anything the Democratic government has ever done. Rednecks, hood niggers and cholos all love a stupid powerful engine.

If GM brings back Pontiac and the Buick V6, then we're well and truly back.

God please let the 5th manufacturer be Pontiac or Buick, it would be so funny.

Regarding Michigan: Fuck Denny, Sucks for Hocevar, and both Buescher and Bubba shocked me with their good driving at the end. Good race 9/10

It's probably the best performance Hocevar has ever had, and it all amounted to nothing because he got Goodyear'd.

Don't like Denny, but he, Grandbaby Ty, Bubba and Buescher nailed the fuel strategy perfectly. Luv a fuel moilage race me.

His day will come, I just hope the fact that people like Dale Jr are comparing him to Dale Sr doesn't go to his head. He has potential and I'm excited to see him start winning, but I hope he doesn't become a driver we look back on and say "man he could have been great."
 
Completely irrelevant, but Ryan Preece has to be the recipient of the most unwarranted hype in Nascar right now, especially since the unwarranted hype for Justin Haley has worn off. I still see people talking about his "potential" like he's some fresh-faced rookie and not a grown man over 30 that hasn't done jack shit outside of Northeastern modifieds. He couldn't even win in the same JGR Xfinity equipment that Ty Gibbs smoked the field in. I guess people are so desperate to finally have a grassroots modified guy make it to the big leagues instead of existing off in their own little world that they're blind to reality? How in the hell did he get a top tier ride and a top tier sponsor when the only thing he did last year was get clowned by Hocevar for trying to act like some kind of elder statesman of racing with his mid ass record?

Its very good.
I just watched it a last night.

I know this thread dosent have alot of activity but if anyone hasn't watched it yet its one of the most fascinating documentaries I've ever watched. Not just in terms of sport or motorsport.

You dont even have to be a fan of motorsport to succumb to how emotionally powerful this doc was from the perspective of father hood.

As much as its a documentary about dale Sr its really more about Dale Jr and Kelley at least thats what it all culminates to. It really gave me a new respect for Dale jr.

I lost my dad at a similar age and there's this moment he talks about what he felt when he went to turn 4 for the first time since his dad died. Not to race just to be there. Its one of the most genuine and raw takes on tragedy ive ever heard.

And of course it all really culminates around 3 big events.

Sr winning the 500 the first time.
Sr dying at the 2001 500.
Jr's win at the 2001 Pepsi 400.

Baring nascar playing with the script a bit the pepsi 400 finish is one of the most beautiful things ive ever witnessed in all of sport. I dont mean to be a faggot but by the end I was weeping. Dale jr spent his whole life just trying to get his dad's approval. And its kinda fucked how much he had to do before he even got the slightest bit from his father. And also how Dale sr wanted the same from Ralph. I think any son who fails to connect with his father especially ones who wish to "follow in their footsteps" could take away alot from this documentary. I have a newfound respect for not alone Dale jr but Kelley as well she a bad bitch.

Just a solid documentary all around.

They are all pretty educational to me. YMMV. He breaks things down in an easy to understand way. I found the comparison of gasoline and diesel oils interesting only in that we had a diesel at work with only 80,000 mi. that constantly smoked. When had I started there, I had never seen one container of diesel oil and found that odd. They wanted me to use the regular Dexos car oil. I now know why it smoked.
 
I still can't get over the concept of streaming-exclusive races and sports in general. Wouldn't it make more sense to put the race on cable for the old fogeys and then stream as well for the zoomers, like NBC does with simulcasting sports on Peacock? Seems like that would get a much bigger audience. Nascar lost 1/3 of its audience going to Amazon despite the presentation being miles better than Fox.

Guess that would just make too much sense.
 
I'm so glad the street race debacle is close to dropping off the calendar, but it looks like NASCAR will replace it with...another one, and the shills are working overtime with the "schedule diversity" "the future of NASCAR" and "best management in the world" talking points. Bianchi and Gluck are just being straight up assholes to callers who want a Rockingham date.

Have they forgotten that F1-style meme street tracks have not and have never been this series' identity?

It’s been something nascar has been wanting since the mid 80s when they tested the left right car as riverside was under major threat. In order to get to the major markets that the France family and the teams wanted there was major consideration of racing on street tracks instead of building new ovals. They were already talking about having six to seven road course/street course events. The idea was put on the back burner as cities that cart tried to race in fought back at the attempts so it went silent for a generation. I get what you are trying to say but nascar has wanted to explore new tracks which is why all the new ovals where intended to get Indycars and nascar to exist but nascar won that battle so Indycar has trended towards road courses.
