Here's a breakdown of an average nightly operating costs per team for winged 305s and 410s on dirt, as well as winged 410s on pavement. Now you can cut corners here and there and still luck out and finish well still. These are just close numbers

@Noah_Lewis1 Why can't we have 2 stages without cautions? Pay points at halfway, keep it green, pay final race result points. It'd be so much easier for race fans

In time with media today, Darrell Waltrip said he’s not sure if he likes the way races are run in NASCAR today, but he still watches. “I think the sport’s gone through a transition since the days that I raced. You dropped the green flag and you ran to the checkered. Now they got all these different stages… “I’m not sure I like it the way it is. But, I watch.” Full interview scrum below: #NASCAR

@HordRaceWatcher That's insane! The reason I was asking is pavement pounders posted how many sprint car/silver crown races there were in north America in 2026, and that number for the whole continent is 146 😳

@KevinMingus I’d have to double check to be sure but it should be north of 120-125

@HordRaceWatcher do you happen to know how many sprint car races are going to be held in Ohio this year? Wing and non wing?

For us with the pavement 410, we're at about $2,400 per show. Not including fuel for the generator/atv, engine wear and tear costs, and only purchasing 3 tires a night with Must See. If we'd attempt to run the race for a million we'd be at about $3,500 having to buy 8 tires 😅
Nick Hoffman@Nick_Hoffman2

It just cost us $940 to fill up with diesel and def to race this weekend. With that being said we will spend over 3000 per night to race this weekend. Assuming we will go through 8 tires, fuel for racecar, laps on motor, crew guys, etc. Makes it almost impossible for a local or regional guy to come race and take a chance of not making the show.

⚠️ NORTHERN OHIO: STAY WEATHER AWARE TONIGHT & WEDNESDAY A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT is ramping up across Northern Ohio from late today through Wednesday afternoon, and this system has the potential to pack a punch. Damaging straight-line winds and even an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out. These storms could develop quickly, especially overnight when many people are sleeping. That’s why now is the time to make sure alerts are turned on and your family has a plan. Please take 5 seconds and SHARE this post so your friends and family across Northern Ohio know to stay Weather Aware. It only takes one storm to change everything. Where will you be when the storms arrive tonight? Let me know in the comments.

The Real Historic Greenville Pickens Speedway
While thousands of fans and national cameras gather for NASCAR Cup weekend at EchoPark Speedway , a piece of racing history just a few hours away is facing demolition. Greenville Pickens Speedway — one of the most historic short tracks in the Southeast — is at risk of being erased. This track helped shape grassroots racing. It helped launch careers. It built community. And right now… it has no protection. We’re asking sports media, racing journalists, influencers, and anyone covering the Auto Trader 400 Cup race to shine a light on what’s happening. Because once history is bulldozed — it’s gone forever. 📣 Over 18,000 supporters online 📣 Thousands of petition signatures 📣 A community fighting to be heard Developers see land. We see legacy. If you’re reporting from Atlanta this weekend, tell this story. Ask why a historic racetrack is being allowed to disappear. Grassroots racing matters. Local tracks matter. History matters. #Fox5Atlanta #wsbtv #11alive #autotrader400 #CupSeries #floracing Jeff Gluck

@JohnNewby_ I just don't get why they won't get rid of the stage cautions to eliminate the whole issue

#NASCAR - Elton Sawyer says they have had discussions about stage lengths at Daytona and Talladega regarding fuel saving. Says it's conflicting and that he can hear the chatter about running half throttle. If he turns off the radio and watches, he sees cars running four- and five-wide while fans stand and cheer. It was lower on the priority list than bringing back The Chase and some other items on the to-do list. "What do we want to fix?" He also said that the Indy 500 drivers are in fuel conservation mode as they take the green flag.

With Dodge cycling back into NASCAR over the next few years, any chance some of that funding trickles down to getting some Mopar power plants back into sprint cars?

New format: 10 races. 16 drivers. No more win to advance. 55 points to win instead of 40. Leader starts with 2100. Drops off a bit for each spot behind 1st to 16th. I can live with it. The playoffs and win to advance are officially dead. 🙌🏻
