Looks like sprinkles have put the race under caution. Cars are in the pits.

Bowyer leads Harvick with 85 to go.

33 laps left and Harvick now leads Bowyer.

Looks like Stewart-Haas has figured-out the Fords as all four drivers have been in and around the top ten ALL day.

Looks like Harvick wins it followed by Bowyer.

I had figured this would come out sooner or later because I had heard they were exploring buying the Carolina Panthers. An NFL team is pricey, so even if they just went in on part of it, I figured they would sell off some stuff. But if that is indeed what they are doing, then I'd be shocked if they got anywhere near what they are asking. You're a fool if you pay top dollar for this sport in its current state. You gotta buy low and hope you can salvage it. You will lose your ass if you pay big for it.

I agree. Just look at how long it took for them just to find Monster to sponsor the series last year. They got the naming rights for ridiculously cheap. I imagine the series will be the same since from what I recall, it seems like most of the races this year are down around 10% viewership (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that). Also, what I'd like to know is who would they market the product around? The three top draws of the past 15 years (Stewart, Earnhardt and Gordon) are all retired and I don't see anyone on the circuit that comes close to drawing what those three did.

That is good news that the king idiot, Brian France wants out of this dog and pony show he help to destroy. Maybe Trump is interested?

HArvick and Blaney lead the way in Kansas. If there is a track that should be yanked from the schedule, this is one of them. What a frikin' waste of time.

 

[Retroram52]

Blaney leads Havick and Keselowski on Lap 45 of Stage one.

 

[Retroram52]

Blaney is still leading this boring race going into to Stage 2.

Just started watching the race, Larson leading with 35 to go
