Kevin Harvick's first order of tangible business as part of CARS STARS (currently ASA) leadership has been meeting with Ricky Brooks to unify a rule book with UARA and work together in a way that hasn't been realistic before. This is a win for Super racing, conceptually.

The judge overseeing a lawsuit to remove signatures from the petition to eliminate racing from the Nashville Fairgrounds charter through a referendum vote has dismissed said suit after a Tuesday hearing. The judge ruled on Wednesday that the Davidson County Election Commission is required to verify signatures but does not require a process allowing voters to withdraw their names. Judge Martin also asked the legal petitioners, including Devra Bagwell, why she and those sharing her concerns couldn't reach out to the petition authors/respondants Restore Our Fairgrounds for removal and they stated that the ROF required an extra step of verification. Restore Our Fairgrounds canvassers have been accused of misleading would-be signers, telling them that racing has already been discontinued, or not disclosing that the petition sought to end racing. For their part, Restore Our Fairgrounds says pro-speedway supporters fear facing the voters out of fear of losing. Plaintiffs 'Decline To Sign' said it will move on to other potential legal remedies, including sending the matter to a higher court for review. DTS maintains that over 2000 signatures asked to have their names removed prior to certification in vain. ROF says the removed 542 names after conducting follow-up due diligence. 47,679 signatures were validated. 40,194 was needed to get the referendum on a future ballot. Restore Our Fairgrounds seeks to replace racing as a protected Nashville Fairgrounds activity with green space and affordable housing.
Seeking to have signatures removed from a referendum that seeks to upend racing at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway by placing it on a 2027 ballot, one such signer and a group organizing awareness about potential issues with the canvassing process will have a hearing on Tuesday.

Justin Allgaier still hasn't confirmed his 2027 plans. So, depending on what championship weekend holds, could he call it quits?

Lloyd Garner was such a good dude, man. He was always thoughtful and kind. He was a total vibe at all times. He's won with more big names than you'd realize. Drivers loved and trusted having him in their ear. Rest easy, big man.
Rest in peace Big Buddy.

I tried my best to catch Justin Allgaier slippin' on his future plans and learned the difference between RICO and Rico Abreu on The Motorsport Show today. Good show and compelling guests. Taylor Kitchen and I batted around a format conversation too. youtube.com/live/iZ7gT9gNng4…

In my opinion - NASCAR building cars that handle pushes better at Superspeedways is how we got into this position. The bumpers should line up worse, not better.

#NASCAR addressed the yellow line rule in this week's episode of 'Hauler Talk,' and revealed that they also warned the Talladega pack to pick up the pace during the extreme fuel-saving, or face a black flag. motorsport.com/nascar-cup/ne…

"A smooth sea does not make for a skilled sailor." A very intellectually instructive quote from Cliff Daniels when I asked about how the 5 team responded to Phoenix this past week.
