The three major car racing circuits -- Formula One, NASCAR, and Indy Car -- have built a multibillion dollar business. Formula One revenue, including sponsorships and broadcast fees, is estimated at $3.9 billion a year, which is more per event than either the NFL or The Premier League of soccer clubs. Toyota has elected to pull out of Formula One because of cost considerations. The world's largest car company has lost money for more than a year. Reuters estimates that Toyota has spent $300 million per year on its Formula One campaign. Honda (HMC) pulled its cars from the circuit earlier this year.
The Toyota retreat can be added to news that the Obama Administration has pressured Chevy and Dodge to pull out of the NASCAR racing series to save $250 million a year. The two companies have been pillars of NASCAR and there are no other auto firms with large enough budgets to replace them.(MSN's Money Central blog by Top Stocks writer Douglas A. McIntyre, an editor at 24/7 Wall St), however, both GM/Chevy and Dodge reps have said over and over, that both Chevy and Dodge are committed to the sport, for at least 2010 anyway. See my Dodge News page and Chevy News page for those statements.(11-5-2009 Jayski.com)


Yes it would've saved money and "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" isn't what it used to be....but the Government barging in on NASCAR....really? I thought it was just a rumor last spring. Wow.


But I guess that's what you get for dealing with the devil that is Washington. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2007:forums/viewthread/.93500 2007-02-28T19:05:47Z fleshwound_NPG http://www.jayski.com/stats/testing/testing2007bristol.htm

Ward, Green and KW were up there with the big boys in the later sessions. The lap time gaps were huge (for Bristol).

Jr liked how it drove:

http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/02/28/cot.full.season/1.html

"It has exceeded my expectations at this point, as far as how the car is driving," Earnhardt said. "I anticipated it to be a little more of a struggle to get the car to turn, to work, to get it up off the corner. Our lap times are comparable with the other chassis we have been running here the last couple of years." ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.475598 2009-11-04T19:22:56Z 2009-11-06T16:58:46Z Talon64 AMP Energy 500 Results:

__________________________________________________________

Pick no more than 4 drivers, top 2 picks count. Points are by the standard NASCAR points system as listed on http://www.racing-reference.info. You can go there yourself to see how you did or double check if you think I got your points wrong.

Make your picks before the start of the race. And don't edit them after the race is over. Remember, honour system!

NEW: You won't be able to pick the same driver in back-to-back races. So whoever you pick this weekend you can't pick any of them for the next. This should make it less likely that everyone picks the same drivers for every race.

If you do pick drivers in back-to-back weeks then not only will they not count for that race but the next race as well.

Bonus points:

1-2 finish - 25 points

Perfect picks (A 1-2 finish in which both drivers leads laps and one leads the most laps) - 50 bonus points.

1-2-3 finish - 100 points

1-2-3-4 finish - 200 points ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2009:forums/viewthread/.475880 2009-11-08T01:50:25Z Placid Mazda driver and 2nd generation driver Conor
Daly for a test in the Hungaroring. This was
supposed to be a 2-day testing schedule. But
he had only 1. But he posted big.

In the morning session, Brazilian driver Cesar
Ramos top the time charts with a 1:38.287
followed by Swiss driver Nico Muller with a
1:38.685. Swede Philip Forsman posted the
3rd best time with a 1:38.692. And Daly posted
the 4th with a 1:38.867.

But in the afternoon session, the track was
fast and Mueller came with the best time
followed by Ramos, with Daly as the big
surprise with the 3rd best time.

Looks like Conor is trying to choose a suitable
series to ride in 2010.

Other than the obvious with Speis, does anyone know about this William Dunlop kid running as a wild-card in the 250's? It says he is from "IRL", so wondering if he was in any way related to the great Joey? ]]>
