"Jugadores clave en la Temporada Tonta 2023-24" "¡Vaya, cosas emocionantes sucediendo en #NASCAR! La temporada tonta 2023-24 promete cambios drásticos y rostros nuevos al frente, muy parecido al reciente rediseño de Land Rover Defender. Sí, esa es una referencia automovilística que solo los fanáticos de los coches entenderían, pero es muy apropiada. Primero, parece que Kurt Busch se aleja del Chip Ganassi Racing después de esta temporada. Parece que volvemos a época donde todo es completamente nuevo y diferente, como por ejemplo cuando salió el Bugatti Veyron. Y, ¿quién no ama un cambio? Claro, puede ser emocionante y aterrador a la vez, pero en última instancia nos permite ver cosas nuevas y emocionantes. Además, no nos olvidemos de Brad Keselowski, quien parece que se moverá de Team Penske a Roush Fenway Racing. ¿Ventaja significativa o decision arriesgada? Bueno, eso es obviamente una incógnita, pero la verdad es que promete ser interesante. ¡Piensa en ello como el Tesla Cybertruck de los cambios de equipo! Intrigante, innovador y ciertamente valiente. También está en la rumorología la movida de Austin Cindric de Team Penske a Wood Brothers Racing. Una elección que, yo diría, podría ser la mayor sorpresa de la próxima temporada. ¿Quién sabe? Podría resultar ser el gran éxito de la temporada, muy similar al impactante éxito del Ford GT al volver a la escena de las carreras. Por último, pero no menos importante, todos nos preguntamos si Aric Almirola continuará con Stewart-Haas Racing. Me recuerda a la indecisión que puedes sentir cuando intentas decidir entre un Porsche 911 y un Ferrari F8. Ambos son fantásticos, pero la elección final depende de factores personales y de qué piense Aric, ambas máquinas magníficas de carreras. ¡Y eso no es todo! Hay tantos intringulis en este asunto que es bastante emocionante y te hace pensar sobre todas las posibilidades que puedan surgir. Decir que estoy emocionado sobre esta temporada tonta sería quedarse corto. Sin duda, cambiará la dinámica del #NASCAR y presentará una serie de escenarios interesantes para las futuras carreras, al igual que cuando un fabricante de automóviles cambia el diseño de un modelo popular. Número de quirk y feature de toda esta situación, ¡es un 10! Muy emocionante, lleno de posibles giros. Así que, como siempre, sigue las actualizaciones y el drama mientras todo se desarrolla. ¡Va a ser una montaña rusa de emociones! #MotorSport".

NASCAR - Bristol

NASCAR.com

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Denny Hamlin landed a knockout punch in the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Some random observations from a NASCAR noob.

Denny Hamlin looks strong at the right time. He always seems to be fast and has a crazy high racing IQ.

Kyle Larson also looks amazing. He can drive up through anything to get to the front. He’s been first, fourth, and second in the first elimination round of the playoffs. Definitely the strongest of the field at them moment.

Christopher Bell continues to land pole positions and can’t manage to make it to victory lane.

Corey LaJoie finished the second stage in second place and I couldn’t be happier for him! He’s a “middle of the pack” racer and is not supposed to be up in front. He even lead a number of laps. He’s part of a smaller team and is getting better and better each weekend. 👍🏼

Last years Cup Champion, Joey Logano, is out of contention for this years championship after an accident forced him to retire the car.

Bubba Wallace continues to his race craft each and every week and has managed to get into the round of 12. I’m super happy for him and I hope he can make it to at least the round of eight. That would be an amazing accomplishment for 23XI Racing.

I know the Bristol Night Race is very popular but I found it extremely boring. After a couple laps of racing up front it seems like it turns into a single line of cars doing laps. Now, there were times where the racing did get interesting, but overall I found it boring. That’s not typical of a NASCAR race for me.

Bristol is not doing a dirt track next season. That’s too bad. I found that race to be much more exciting. Cars had multiple lines to choose from and the racing was exciting, not to mention Michael McDowell’s two spins that resulted in 360 degree saves. It was an incredible sight to behold.

Kevin Harvick is also out of the playoffs. It’s a real shame as it’s his final season as a driver and he has yet to win a race this year. The man proves his excellent fact crave as a driver every week as the Stuart Haas Racing cars aren’t very competitive, except for Harvick’s. Yes, he’s that good.

It was good to see Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the Xfinity race on Friday night. He drove really well, lead a number of laps, and I have to believe he had a really great chance to win the entire thing but his car caught fire late in the race and he had to retire it. Let’s get that man back in a Cup car a few times a year!

Favorite livery was Tyler Reddick’s 45.

My picks for the Final Four.

• Kyle Larson - Hendrick Motorsports • Denny Hamlin - Joe Gibbs Racing • Chris Buescher - Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing • Tyler Reddick - 23XI Racing

Champion: Kyle Larson

If it’s not Larson I think it’ll be Denny Hamlin.

Of course I could be full of hot air with that list but I really like it!

Howe About That Race? - Daytona 500

The Daytona 500 is in the rear-view mirror and the NASCAR season is underway. I’m Jonathon Howe and I ask, How About That Race?

            This year’s Daytona 500 has come and went, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is the champion. Wrecky Spinout survived the chaos and won the longest Daytona 500 by miles in history. I think we have to start by giving Ricky Stenhouse his flowers. Stenhouse has been a known as a bit of a liability in the last few seasons at superspeedways and drafting tracks. At times fairly, but more often than not probably unfairly.

            Stenhouse had two career wins to his name in the cup series coming into Sunday’s Daytona 500. Both at superspeedways in 2017 while driving for Roush Fenway. Since those two wins though, Ricky has admittedly raced drafting tracks like Daytona and Talladega more aggressively as he sees it as his best chance to win, and that mentality has hindered Stenhouse’s ability to see the checkered in past races, and decreased trust levels of other competitors who could serve Ricky as drafting partners.

            Last year it was the aggression level of Brad Keselowski who robbed Stenhouse of a great finish. Stenhouse led 14 of the 2022 Daytona 500’s last 20 laps before a push gone wrong from the 6 car turned the 47 into the fence. It was a heartbreaker for the single car team JTG Daugherty and for Stenhouse Jr. who was looking to find victory lane again for the first time since 2017.

            In 2023, when Stenhouse found himself back towards the front, the stars would align to allow him to see the checkered flag first albeit under yellow. Fellow Sprint Car buddy Kyle Larson gave Stenhouse a great push down the back straight on the first overtime of Daytona 500. The push carried the 47 by Richard Childress Racing duo Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon who were leading the inside lane, before both the 5 and 47 jumped out of the outside lane to get past the Joey Logano who was leading after the restart. Before the field hit turn 3, Austin Dillon was turned on the back stretch and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. would have to hold off the field for another 2-lap shootout.

            The 2-lap shootout would end up being about a lap and a quarter after a push gone wrong from Aric Almirola turned Travis Pastrana inside the top 10 causing a big pileup and ending the race as the field was on the white flag lap. Joey Logano restarted behind leader Stenhouse on the outside line and pushed him out to a large lead. Almost too large as coming to the white flag, Stenhouse was several car lengths ahead of both lanes and made the choice to try and block the inside line Larson was leading, which forced the 5 to go to the middle. That really broke up the momentum on the outside, while Stenhouse found another dirt friend in Christopher Bell to give him just enough of a push to keep the 47 ahead of Logano on the outside when the field was frozen at the moment of caution.

            It was redemption for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. who ran out of gas before being able to do his victory burnout on the front stretch. It was pain for Kyle Busch, who was searching for his first Daytona 500. It’s the only thing missing from a first ballot Hall of Fame career. Call it recency bias, but this appeared to be Busch’s best chance. He overcame a costly speeding penalty on pit road which he served under green and found himself in the lead as laps were winding down, with the help of his teammate Austin Dillon behind. However, a spin by Daniel Suarez with 3 laps to go brought Busch’s hopes at checking off a Daytona 500 to a halt. Would I have liked to see NASCAR try to let the 99 car get to the pits since he spun toward them anyways? Yes, but they were overly cautious, probably for the best. Busch didn’t lose the race because of the spin, but it didn’t help. Busch and Dillon lined up side by side, and ultimately that was the decision that cost Busch the win. Had the two teammates taken advantage of the choose rule’s first appearance in the Daytona 500, maybe lining up in one lane could have allowed Busch to get the lead and keep it in Overtime. Instead, the two were passed while trying to line up on the inside after taking the green and then Dillon was taken out in the first crash beyond 500 miles.

            It was a heartbreaker for Kyle Busch, but redemption for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Overall, I’d argue that this Daytona 500 through the 160 or so laps was one of the better 500’s of the last 20 years. By the end of stage 2, we’d seen plenty of green flag pit stop strategy, a relatively big wreck that took out favourites like Chase Elliott, and lots of lead changes. In total the race had 52 lead changes, the most since 2011 and the fourth most all time. There were gripes about tv commercials but that was probably more to do with everyone having twitter to jump on and complain. The race itself in my mind was a really quality superspeedway race. I do wonder if NASCAR can do anything with the Next Gen car package to make it easier for a third lane to develop and create more tight racing, but that may have more to do with Daytona itself than the package since it’s a narrower track where handling matters.

            So, I ask you, how about that race? What did you like, what did you hate, how did your favourite drivers perform. Congratulations Ricky Stenhouse Jr.  and I cannot wait for Auto Club Speedway, NASCAR’s final trip to a track that has long been the most underrated on the schedule and this will be the final race on its original 2-mile configuration. For Howe About That Race, I’m Jonathon Howe and may all your favourites stay at the front.

F1 owner Liberty Media named most valuable sports empire | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Forbes’ assessment of how much sports empires are worth puts F1 owner at the top of the list for 2023. In brief Forbes names F1’s owner as most valuable entity in sports Forbes magazine has named Formula 1’s commercial rights holder Liberty Media as the most valuable sports empire of 2023. It estimates are that “the world’s 25 most valuable sports empires are worth a total of $173 billion, 23% more than a year ago”, although its methods for including aggregate values of companies that own multiple sport franchises has changed for this year to boost the value of such companies or empire-owning families. Perhaps unsurprisingly given its global calendar and nine-month competition schedule, F1 is Liberty’s most valuable property. While a $20 billion (£16.15bn) price tag has been recently touted as F1’s value, and has instigated a conflict between Formula One Management and the FIA following the latter’s response to such reports, Forbes estimates F1 is actually worth $17.1 billion (£13.8bn) after taking into consideration new television deals that were signed last year. In addition to that, ‘during the past year, the price of F1’s tracking stocks have increased 5%’. The total commercial value of Liberty, which also has a minority share in IndyCar team Meyer Shank Racing, is put at $20.8 billion (£16.8bn) by Forbes. Other companies on Forbes’ list that own motorsport franchises included the Fenway Sports Group in fourth place, which is valued at $10.4 billion (£8.3bn) and owns the Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing team in NASCAR, and RedBird Capital Partners which has a minority share in Fenway. Kuwait welcomes single-seaters with Safety Car action Kuwait Motor Town’s first ever weekend of single-seater action did not quite go to plan, with the Formula Regional Middle East and Formula 4 United Arab Emirates championships spending most of their race time either under Safety Car or red flag conditions. The 5.6-kilometre track in Kuwait did have several good overtaking spots, namely the long straight to turn two and the downhill turn seven right-hander. However some drivers proved overly enthusiastic in attack and defence at these places. Five-wide into turn two ended in a multi-car crash FRME’s first race (above) was stopped on lap one following two huge crashes at turn two that involved cars rolling, riding over the top of each other, losing wheels and being sent skyward from various forms of contact. Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic won that race, with Joshua Dufek and Sami Meguetounif winning the next two which both ran behind the Safety Car following lap one crashes. F4 had the honour of being scheduled as the first ever open-wheel race in Kuwait (below), but the history-making action lasted half a lap before red flags waved following multiple incidents. Ferrari junior James Wharton won the restarted encounter. Race two was the same, with a half of lap of action then the race being stopped entirely. This time Wharton just lost out to McLaren junior Ugo Ugochukwu when the cars returned to track, and former Sauber junior Zachary David dominated race three. He took the lead at the restart following a Safety Car period, which had been required after Wharton and his title rivals had collisions on lap one.

NASCAR team could have name changed before 2023 season

NASCAR team could have name changed before 2023 season

Due to the addition of a new team owner, one NASCAR Cup Series organization could undergo a name change in the near future. Before the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, Roush Fenway Racing, which was once known simply as Roush Racing, underwent another name change when former Team Penske driver Brad Keselowski joined the team as not only the new driver of the No. 6 Ford but as a co-owner of the…
