That guy you’ve seen on TikTok talking about cars going right and sometimes left.

In this latest NASCAR update, significant announcements and rulings have stirred up the sport. At NASCAR’s annual “State of the Sport” event, leaders Steve Phelps and Steve O’Donnell shared updates on the future of manufacturers, the playoff format, and possible changes to the championship race location. Additionally, the courts dealt a harsh blow to 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, denying their charter appeal. NASCAR also addressed recent issues surrounding race manipulation and the appeal from Trackhouse Racing, maintaining the penalties.

  • NASCAR revealed its intention to welcome a potential fourth manufacturer, with Honda emerging as a strong candidate. How do you think adding a new manufacturer like Honda could impact the competition? Could this increase fan engagement, or will it pose challenges for existing teams?
  • The sport may consider moving the championship race from Phoenix to classic tracks like Darlington, Las Vegas, or Charlotte. Which location do you think would make the best championship venue? What impact do you think each location might have on the championship’s prestige and fan experience?
  • With the judge’s denial of 23XI and Front Row’s request to retain charters, they may face challenges keeping drivers and sponsors. Should NASCAR revisit its charter rules, or is this decision beneficial for the sport’s structure and fairness?
