McDowell Explains Spire Move | NASCAR VP on New OEMs

After Michael McDowell’s Internet-breaking move this week, he finally explains why he did it. Also, NASCAR VP tells us what it would take for new manufacturers to join NASCAR. Eric Estepp and Out Of The Groove are here to give you all the updates.

• Elton Sawyer says that if new manufacturers join NASCAR, they have no interest in making standard the V8 engines that NASCAR fans are used to but this could lead to manufacturers being able to make their own power units. Do you think this would be a good idea to increase the passing and popularity of the sport?
• Joey Logano gave an interview on SiriusXM where he says it’s time to press the panic button, we’re over a quarter of the year without a Ford victory, but fortunately, they introduced a new engine in Kansas. Do you think the Ford engine will be able to get Ford a win?
• Apparently, Michael McDowell was on a year-to-year deal with Front Row Motorsports and after excelling in this car at road courses for the last two years, he felt like he deserved more stability so he signed with Spire on a multi-year deal. Do you think this was a good move for Michael McDowell?
