    3 weeks to go before the clash so probably time for a 2025 thread.

    Off track Nascars appeals against the 23XI and Frontrow lawsuit have failed and a court date of 1st December 2025 has been set and both teams are full chartered teams with 3 entries each for 2025.

    Daytona entry list has been growing :

    #91 Helio Castroneves and #60 Michael Wallace the highest profile so far ,#84 Jimmy Johnson and #?? Martin Truex Jr also expected to be added.

    44-45 entries expected with only 40 starters.

    36 Guaranteed (Chartered) entries so only 4 spaces available, so some big names could go home.

    Rumours continue that some minor chnages will be made to the playoffs, the substantial backlash to Loganos win could not go unnoticed (add in Penskes 3rd straight championship)

    Usual suspects should be in the mix for an exciting season.

    Breaking News : Nascar have just announced a 41st car rule !

    Nascar have the right to add a '41st ' entry to the field were a team enter an open car for a 'world class driver ' and the team apply 90 days before the event.

    Trackhouse ,RCR and 23XI are the most likely to run an open car and a few Australian supercar drivers could be in the mix along with Daniel Ricciardo….

    Helio is in !

    Despite initially indicating that 90 days notice of a starting provisional for a world class driver from the team was required, it's now widely reported that Helio Castroneves will be guaranteed a starting spot at the Daytona 500 under the new rules announced yesterday.

    Worst case he will start 41st in #91 Trackhouse Chevy.

    Update : Nascar have confirmed that Trackhouse applied for and received the guaranteed provisional starting spot 90 days before Daytona (though its a new rule !).

    Premier Sport's are running promos for Nascar in 2025 which would seem to confirm Premier have retained the Irish and UK rights.

    Lots of politics! Is RCR about to go all in with 23XI and Frontrows lawsuit ?

    Are the France family about to enter their own team (which they are allowed do under the new charter arrangements)

    Or will sense prevail and Nascar (the France Family) back down to avoid their very private business becoming very public.....

    Michael Wallace has not received approval to attempt to qualify for the Daytona 500.

    The initial announcement was made by his brother Kenny Wallace who stated that Nascars head of competition, Elton Sawyer , had informed Michael Wallace that due to inactivity he would not be allowed enter any Nascar Cup series race (or any xfinity or truck race.)

    Kenny Wallace indicated that this had come as a shock and that Michael thought he already had the approval.

    It has since transpired that Michael Wallace had been given the OK from the president of Nascar ! before Elton Sawyers intervention.

    The team ,MBM, now fond themselves without driver and sponsor for the 500.

    Not a great look for Nascar when you consider the shanigans around Helio Castroneves 'guaranteed' entry...

    This is a BIG announcement in Nascar circles:

    JR Motorsports are entering a car in the Daytona 500 ,#40 for Justin Algaeir .

    JR is 'Junior Motorsports' ,Dale Earnhardt Jnr team which he runs with his sister Kellie.Dale is by far the most popular (ex) driver in Nascar and a huge draw to any event he appears at.

    No coverage on Premier Sport's listed at the moment (for the Clash at Bowman Grey)

    Truex ,Jimmy Johnson and Corey laJoie all added to the Daytona 500 entry list , the duals are going to be interesting !

    Nascar have confirmed that there will be no changes to the playoffs this season. , but a review has been established for future seasons.
