Lebanon, Tenn. – Bubba Wallace VE NASCAR Have all possible impulse at this time with different media partners.
The perfect moment for the “challenge in the season” of Nascar to debut, right?
Well, Wallace forgot that I was about to debut.
“For me to forget it and remember how exciting it was when they announced, I think it will be great for fans to tune in and give them a little more … you are just investing more,” Wallace said.
Kyle Larson has just tried his last attempt as “The Double” of Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Tell it among those who did not realize that Nascar’s new season competition had its 32 field after Domingo Cup Cup race at night In Nashville Superspeedway.
“I have not really seen anything promoted about it, so I think it’s easy to forget it,” Larson said.
Nascar announced this New season competition In May 2024, drivers can be forgiven for being focused on the second half of the season.
The format is simple: 32 pilots run by planting in the next three races that begin in Michigan on Sunday and conclude in Pocono on June 22. The pilots are sown with their best final for the competition of five races that begin in Atlanta.
Then he goes to individual elimination with the field field to 16 in Chicago, eight in Sonoma, four in Dover and the last two in Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The winner obtains $ 1 million, and that draws the attention of drivers as part of the new media rights agreement that includes TNT.
“It will be funny to which you pay attention, and there is good money at stake,” said Larson, the 2021 Cup series champion. “So, you have to be really consistent at all times.”
Chris Buescher of RFK Racing is one of those who did not realize that this challenge is starting. He needs victories in the race after losing points for a penalty in Kansas in May. The prize is pleasant.
“That is real money,” Buescher said. “But I don’t want that to change the way we go to the racing track. We need to discover how to gain races. There is much more than that on the line at the end of the year.”
Three times champion of the Joey Logano Cup He compared the award of this event with the money at stake in the All-Star race and this new competition as a victory on stage.
“This is a little longer, but it is a race within the race,” Logano said. “Then you are not willing to give up much to do that, right?”
Denny Hamlin I was excited when the challenge was announced for the first time. Then he saw the courses for this competition, and his enthusiasm was attenuated with the amount of road courses included.
“To tell the truth, we are going to be very lucky or have such a good drawing that they only work,” Hamlin said. “I wish they were more conventional oval, but I think that is the way the schedule works. And unfortunately it is probably not my main part of the season.”
Brad Keselowski And his Ford No. 6 for RFK Racing entered Nashville at age 32, right in the line that will be included in that sowing persecution. I had not thought much about the competition centered this season. But he thinks it will be fun once he begins.
“It’s good for sport, well for our fans and it’s a competition,” said Keselowski. “If there is competition, we want to win it. But said, I think they direct us a week at the same time, somehow one day … and it is difficult to look later than that.”
With Ryan Blaney’s First victory of the season In Nashville Superspeedway, the PENSKE team now has its three qualified pilots for the Nascar Cup playoffs even with Nashville the first race of the second half of this year.
Blaney, who had not won since November, joined Austin Cindric, who won in Talladega, and the three -time champion of the Joey Logano Cup series, winner in Texas. Josh Berry, whose Wood Brothers racing team has a relationship with the Penske team, also won in Las Vegas.
Michael Nelson, president of Nascar’s operations of the Penske team, said it was good to have that pressure from all teams.
“Obviously it is quite incredible to have a bit of that pressure for the boys,” Nelson said. “And again … it gives you the opportunity to leave and risk here and there and try to accumulate a lot of victories. So we are now grateful to be at this time with our cars at this time of year.”
Carson Hovar coincided with his best driving final from 26 to the second in Nashville. The 22 -year -old pilot in his second cup series with Spire Motorsports scored Ricky Stenhouse Jr. with his Aggressive style
Hovar cut Stenhouse in Tour 106 of 300, sending him to the wall and out of the race. Stenhouse said Hocevar was too aggressive and will talk to the young driver. Just not after the race.
No, “said Stenhouse,” that costs too much money. “
