Ironically this is now all back-burner news as Lewis Hamilton signing with Ferrari for 2025 has taken front and center on the stage.

You can not just show up to a NASCAR race, although easier than F1, you still have to have their approval of the equipment and Brett Bodine has to approve the driver. If you don't have any "narrow tire, heavy car" experience go run ARCA and we'll keep an eye on you.

This is true if all starting positions aren't taken up by charters. Only happens once in awhile anymore anyway. They cut the field from 43 to 40 ad still don't fill it most weeks.

News of the day, Andretti was sent a message to appear for a chance to speak in person, but according to the post, it went to a spam folder, and wasn't found till now, hope I got this correct

If my memory is correct. Didn't he sell 200 million dollars of stock to fund a F1 team? What it amounts to is the teams get a cut of the tv money. They don't want to reduce the money the teams get(give andretti a share of the cash)

That is lame. Any decent organization would have followed with a phone call or snailmail.
