That kind of sucks about the streaming races next year. I'm not paying $120 or 130 a year for Prime and the ones on TNT will also be available on Max but you have to be a subscriber to the sports package on top of the Max subscription so that's going to be a no for me too. If Nascar thinks the tv ratings for races this year that have been on FS1 are off wait till next year. I do hope Dale jr's on track interviews will be posted to YouTube though, that will be an interesting tidbit. F1 actually beat NASCAR for the first time in USA viewership. Sundays Miami race averaged 3.1 million viewers with a peak of 3.6 million for the finish. The Kansas race only had 2.3 million viewers.

Surprised Garrett didn't mention this already but Kyle Larson won by the closest margin ever in a cup race Sunday night. Now onto the Silly Season rumors.... Stewart Haas Racing is most likely going to shrink to a 3 car team and sell one of its charters. It sent out a memo to interested teams of what it wants $$$$ wise https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/07/will-stewart-haas-racing-downsize-next-year/ Interested buyers include 23XI racing, Front Row Motorsports, Legacy Motorclub and Trackhouse Racing. Speaking of Charters, NASCAR and teams still have not come to an agreement yet https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/06/the-latest-on-nascar-charter-negotiations/ NASCAR has also said it wants a charter owned by the France family however that might change due to heavy pushback from owners and drivers. NASCAR might be forced to dump the V8 by 2026 or beyond if manufacturers have their way. Certain manufacturers want to run hybrid engines that they already use in the vehicles they build. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/05/06/motorsports?publicationSource=sbj&issue=3bb600ea0db04fa1bc247cbf890b7096 If that happens I will not be watching, I enjoy hearing the loud V8's. With that rumor apparently Honda and Hyundai are in talks with joining NASCAR if they move to hybrid powertrains. V8 Supercars driver Will Brown has been in talks with RCR to drive the 33 for Sonoma https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/05/supercars-driver-will-brown-reportedly-making-cup-debut-with-richard-childress-racing-at-sonoma/

I found it hilarious that a horse won that they barely mentioned before the race. One heck of a finish though, literally won by a nostril.

Evidentiary

I set myself a new record yesterday mowing lawns, walked 10.5 miles in 4 hours. And looks like I have a new customer for the season as it looks like he finally wants to relax more in his 80's. His daughters been hassling him for years to just have me do his lawn, so they'll be happy that he finally did. Looking forward to relaxing and enjoying Star Wars Day and Free Comic Book Day

I forgot to mention that JTGDAUGHERTY racing's deal with Chevrolet is up at the end of the season and there's a good possibility that they might switch to Toyota and be a JGR satellite team. The other rumor is they will sell the team and charter to a new team, possibly 23/11. Speaking of charters, teams and NASCAR still have not come to an agreement on how much $$$$ teams should get from the new tv deal that starts next year. Denny Hamlin has been very outspoken on this subject on his podcast Actions Detrimental which is available at Dirty Mo Media. There was one opinion piece I read the other day that said if the teams wanted to they could take their driver's and start a new racing organization and race at non-NASCAR owned tracks. I don't think it will come to that but the teams could use that as a bargaining chip if they wanted too.

Unfortunately Shane VanGisbergen will not be taking part in the All Star Race in a few weeks https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/01/shane-van-gisbergen-will-not-compete-in-all-star-race/ unless another team steps up with a spare car or a sponsor steps up. Ricky Stenhouse jr and JTGDaugherty Racing sign a multi year extension https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/02/ricky-stenhouse-jr-signs-contract-extension-with-jtg-daugherty-racing/

I agree Roger And Hobie let's just agree to disagree... If others wish to find out more on the history of the America's there's plenty of reputable and vetted sources on the Internet, including Wikipedia, and in local library's.

Their ancestors migrated to North and South America thousands of years before European settlers came here so I'd say they were here first. Quote from Wikipedia...""The 2021 findings of fossilized human footprints in relict lake sediments near White Sands National Park in present-day New Mexico suggest a human presence there dating back to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), between 18,000 and 26,000 years ago.""

Oh yeah there were some brutal tribes that had no sanctity of life. Heck there are some tribes in other countries that are cannibalistic still. There's a reason some tribes are still isolated or haven't been "found" because people know not to go to certain places in the jungles.

Wife and I are celebrating our 20th Anniversary today.

Kevin Harvick will be getting behind the wheel of a Cup car again to qualify Kyle Larson's car for the All Star race since Kyle Larson will be qualifying for the Indy 500. Kyle Larson will be able to make the all star race from Indy qualifying though. https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/04/28/cup-series-2024-all-star-kevin-harvick-standby-kyle-larson/

Trail of Tears for one instance https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears Not trying to be 'woke' but not all of the history of the USA is good.

If it was going to happen it would have happened already. As long as Baby Boomers keep watching channels like MeTV will keep airing them. Yes some of those shows portrayed Native Americans as ruthless savages which they were/are not. In fact the American government and army committed some atrocities against the Native Americans.

Yeah it was another snooze fest between the leader and 2nd place that couldn't pass due to the lousy aero of this generation of car. Kyle Larson got within a car length of Denny then got stalled out. Mike, Kevin and Clint tried to make it exciting and seem like Kyle could pass Denny but I knew what the outcome would be. Like many of the driver's have said lately if you're the leader with 5 - 10 laps to go you'll most likely win if there's no cautions because no one will be able to pass you unless by some chance they have tires with way less laps on them.
