2020 NASCAR Thread

How long before Bubba loses his sponsors? Immediately? Or do they wait until the end of the season to "part ways"?

 

Does Richard Petty say anything publicly?

 

I thought NASCAR's Confederate flag exchange program was still going on. Bubba is a free spirit, but he's surely smart enough to get Daytona's OK on this one.

 

Of all the places to allow fans, they picked two of the worst. Why not wait until the circuit goes back north where the virus has simmered down a mite? PS: What's the over-under on Confederate flags at Talladega?

 

If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.

- Strange to not see Petty Blue on a No. 43 sled ... guess there's some Petty Blue in the number shadowing, but point still stands. Apparently, McD's didn't allow any with the red and yellow scheme last weekend.
- Speaking of sponsors, does that scheme - while welcomed and timely - also mean cryptically that Petty Enterprises doesn't have full sponsorship for each race on the schedule? Not at all trying to whiz on the scheme or the message, but it's a worthy point to bring up given the current financial state of the series and the series' usual bowing to sponsors for anything and everything.

 

Richard Petty Motorsports has a deal with a company called World Wide Technology (annual revenue estimated $12B), whose owner David Steward is one of five black American billionaires. He was already paying to put the Victory Junction Gang Camp on the 43 when nobody else was sponsoring the car on a given week. This isn’t much of a stretch.

And Bubba Wallace should be back in the car next season.

 

Bubba Wallace won’t be going here to race late models anytime soon.
