Interesting to see who's going to be in the 86 for Brandon Brown's team, maybe Mason Diaz. Paul Menard in the 12, Still think one of the big three will win. C.J. McLaughlin makes his Xfinity debut. 2. JB posted: 07.16.2019 - 12:27 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 2, he has sponsorship from Sci Aps 3.

This will go down as one of the more memorable years in the history of this series. I just wish some would quit bitching about the same drivers winning or worrying about where Bell will end up next year and just live in the moment and enjoy what we get to see each week. I think Bell will have the edge this tine around. 6. Hi posted: 07.16.2019 - 12:41 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) McLaughlin's sponsor is SciAps 7.

Yeet posted: 07.17.2019 - 4:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Also this is irrelevant but while looking at the Owner Point standings I noticed an interesting stat The last placed car in Owner Points that has run every race this season is the RSS Racing 38 car in 38th place (38 start each race) The highest placed car in Owner Points that has a partial schedule is the Kaulig Racing 10 car, in 26th/47 place despite only running 8 out of 17 races so far this season 15.

UnderdogFan89 posted: 07.17.2019 - 6:32 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @Yeet yes, and the #10 would be Top 20-25 if not for the DQ at Daytona. And to add to your point, the #13 has attempted all the races (missing one) and is 41st in owner points. Also, as a reminder to everyone, the #38 and #13 will have precedence in provisionals over the #12 and #21, despite being lower in points, because they have attempted all the races. If something goes wrong in qualifying for any part time team, high chance they go home. 17.

Danish_Pie posted: 07.17.2019 - 7:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Ryan Sieg is now listed in the 93 without a sponsor, and with McLaughlin in the 39 with CMR Roofing sponsorship. Part of me assumes this is an error, I'd be hard pressed to think CMR would sponsor McLaughlin in his debut, while Sieg would likely park it, since the 38 is also listed with a sponsor. But I'd like to see all three RSS cars go the distance. Dillon Bassett listed to drive the second Brandonbilt Motorsports car. Would be his third start were he to make the field, the other two coming in Mario Gosselin's 90 earlier this year. As @15 alluded to, first attempt for Carl Long since Homestead at the end of last year. I'll be damned if he makes the grid though. 20. Sandy posted: 07.17.2019 - 7:52 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I'm sure car 13 will withdraw I like Long but I don't think the 13 would make the race if he John Jackson or Stan Mullis as driving the car they need to put someone like Landon Cassill to drive the 13 like he did at the roval last September or withdraw like Watkins Glen last August 21.

TC021002 posted: 07.17.2019 - 11:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @19 The list is correct, Sieg will go the distance i would assume in the 93 he just probably doesn't want to risk McLaughlin not qualifying since he has a sponsor. 24. 12334 posted: 07.18.2019 - 12:50 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) heard bilicki may be leaving RSS in the near future. 25.

However, there's still a possibility that teams like the 17, 66, 68, 74 or 89 will miss the show. 35. Hi posted: 07.19.2019 - 12:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @34. Yeah but they the 17, 74, usually qualify high and the 89 with Cassill. The 66 and 68 are usually good. Quailfy high and race high(ish) or at least their drivers. 36.

McLeod is driving the #15 car, then the next thing you know, he's in the #4, & now he's in the #01. I wish I met the guy so that I ask him how does it. 37.

He just corrected it but a true commentator (Earnhardt, DW, and those people). NBC has good commentators but Allen and that British guy don't know their stats. Rick Allen has a good voice but he don't know anything on the stats and that British guy shouldn't even be a commentator in Nascar. Only the Euro Series for him. 47.

I'll take Currey as my third, he needs more experience but is an interesting prospect. I think Cassill could contend in top equipment right now, but don't really see him as being as much of an underdog as the others. 57. Danish_Pie posted: 07.20.2019 - 4:10 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I didn't include Sieg in my list like so many other responding to @38 did just cause I think his best runs have come in one year old RCR stuff this year.

Tons of fun battles and contact, but clean contact outside of Menard doing Paul Menard things. It is unfortunate him and Harrison Burton won't race eachother again this year.

The same series regulars that have a support from the Cup teams or they race for Cup teams are winning everything. And some fans are still unsatisfied, when the biggest threat of them all (Cup drivers in lower series races that win everything) is no more and they basically wanted the series regulars to win races... 113.

The other series regulars just need to step their game up that's all. This battle between Bell, Reddick, and Custer is very reminiscent of what the series use to be in its hay day. Other historical battles 82 Ard vs Ingram combined 11 wins 83 Ard vs Ingram vs Ellis vs Houston combined 26 Wins 84 Ard vs Ingram combined 16 Wins 98 Dale Jr vs Kenseth combined 10 wins 99 Dale Jr vs Green vs Kenseth combined 13 wins 01 Harvick vs Green vs Biffle combined 14 Wins 02 Biffle vs Keller vs Wimmer 12 wins 04 Truex Jr vs Busch 11 wins 12 Stenhouse Jr vs Sadler vs Dillon 12 wins 16 Suarez vs Sadler vs Jones 10 wins 19 Reddick vs Bell vs Custer 13 wins so far....... 92 and 03 had the best year parity wise between wins for series regulars. 115.

There's a very small number of competitive cars (barely enough to fill the top 10 most weeks), and the ?big 3? are winning all the races because they're the only drivers in winning cars with enough talent to make it to Cup. This is the future of NASCAR right here, as all the pay/nepotism drivers increasingly fill the top-flight seats, the few drivers with actual driving ability will get further and further ahead and the number of winners will shrink accordingly. Custer is obviously only there because of nepotism but he's also proved he has actual talent. The majority of the other drivers in top cars are basically ?Ams? to Bell, Reddick and Custer's ?Pros?. Allgaier has potential to get back up there as well once JR gets their equipment back on pace like the last few years. We all know there's a few talented guys in the slower cars but their equipment is getting further behind by the season. At least in the dark days of the mid-late 00's when Cup drivers were winning 90% of the races and every championship, there was still a lot of depth in the field, both driver and team wise. Right now there's none whatsoever and it does not bode well for the future. As I've posted here before I'm definitely in the crowd that wants to see Trucks and Xfinity merged into a true support series for Cup, and then K&ARCA become the third tier, running mostly on short tracks but with a few big track and road course races, but with simpler cars and tech than the big 3 series run currently/more grassroots. 116.

That was just hard racing and Menard went off the deep end for some reason. I can't remember him ever driving like that before either. 117.

Look at Seig for example his 8 top 10's wouldn't be possible if we didn't eliminate 6 full time cup teams from the series that's a positive xfinity was built for teams like RSS. All the positive feedback and results has landed that team a full time sponsorship for next season that's huge. Other mid major teams are putting up there best results ever and slowly gaining sponsorship and higher purses by finishing more in the top 15 and top 20. Like i said a few weeks ago the cup owners need to go and leave the xfinity series they started the destruction in the mid 00's and really have very little to gain from being her. I rather see them form alliances with small teams and contract there development drivers through them instead of running mini cup teams. If JTG Daughtery Racing struggles to beat Gibbs in cup how do you expect JD Motorsports to do against them. It's a power struggle between the mega millionaires and the blue collar guys but i believe better days are coming. 118.

If all the teams had equal equipment, we'd never get to watch a team fight its way into prominence from mid pack. 119.

As long as those Cup teams and teams that have alliances with them pump money into their programs, NASCAR won't do anything about it, because money talks. Sad, but that's just the way it is... And you basically can't do something about it, because if you remove a Cup team, some other non-Cup team will create an alliance with a Cup team (just look at Fred Biagi's team, for example). And if you ban alliances, you are unable to make sure no one's secretly giving some weaker team an elite equipment to be better. So just leave it alone and be glad that Cup drivers aren't winning almost all the races anymore, because they are limited. 125. Hi posted: 07.21.2019 - 11:43 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Yeah.

You wanted cup drivers out of Xfinity, now you whine about the same Xfinity drivers winning even though they belong there. In cup we wanted bette racing on the intermediates, so they implement the new rules package and everyone whines that its ?artificial?. And then you people have the nerve to say they never listen to the fans. Just go watch another sport if you hate it so much. 127.

Look at the truck series: after getting the Cup drivers mostly out, that series has had a resurgence of independant owners. It isn't happening in Xfinity because the cars are basically the same as Cup cars, so there's very little extra expense for a Cup owner to support an Xfinity team, and of course a Cup team is going to be far ahead in terms of technology and car development. That said, with top-tier racing being as expensive as it is right now, there are too many series trying to run top-tier cars. Merging trucks and Xfinity, and deveoping a lower cost, short track only entry series, would make sense. 130. Mannoroth posted: 07.21.2019 - 1:05 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 129. The Truck Series never had any major problems with Cup drivers like Xfinity Series. It was basically just Kyle Busch running as many races as possible for Billy Ballew and for his own team, then Kevin Harvick, who ran all these races just because he didn't want Kyle to win them all and that was it. Yeah, there were also Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman and other drivers, but they didn't run as many races as those two. 131. Scott25 posted: 07.21.2019 - 1:51 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) @129 that's pretty much exactly what I'm saying, but it would be added expense for everyone involved to develop 3 separate cars for the 3 series, and a waste of all the older chassis when they're done with them, there has to be somewhere for the used Cup cars to go (which I think should be the 3rd tier short track series, but with crate engines) The Ilmor engines have been great for the teams and the racing in the Trucks, but the manufacturers hate them. The engines are about all there is nowadays to differentiate the brands, even if they're built to an ancient outdated template. So who knows what the solution is. Like I said, I couldn't care less if Kyle Busch, Tyler Reddick, or Bayley Currey wins 30 races in a season, I just want the racing to be good and the series to be viable. The path the Xfinity series is on right now is not viable. @117 also the stats look good on paper but a lot of people look at them with an asterisk, just like everyone is like ?Haillie Deegan runs in the top 5 every week! But there's only 4 competitive cars in that series?. It's easy to improve your average finish by 10 spots when 10 of the cars that beat you every week are no longer racing. Whether or not it matters to sponsors I guess is what really matters, and we'll see if Sieg's sponsor manages not to fall through sometime in April next year, as these overly ambitious deals often seem to. 132.

Because no-one will, and thus you won't have the problem of Cup-funded teams running Cup quality equipement in the lower series. It will level the playing field in Xfinity, and give the smaller teams a chance. As for having no-where for old Cup chassis to go, that's NASCAR's problem. They're the ones who came up with the crappy and extremely expensive CoT and Gen6 chassis, which is about as useful anywhere else as an F1 tub would be. I'm not a big fan of crate motors. But, it seems the only solution to keeping engine costs reasonable (altho somehow the 410 and 358 sprint cars seem be able to thrive with built motors). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
