Well, because what Denny is saying threatens their cash cow.

there is nothing that a bunch of millennials cannot f******

denny isnt a guy they are gonna listen too not a guy that runs his mouth on tiwtter every week

Denny's arguing for what benefits Denny right now. When he says "All well managed teams deserve to run for a championship & make a modest profit," that is not the way anything works in the real world. The Dallas Cowboys are well managed, but they do not deserve to sniff the cleats of champions. Denny makes a good argument for the owners, but you can see him pull up on several topics.

I’ve quite an off and on love hate relationship with Denny over the years. I have played devils advocate for him a couple of times but he has also pissed me off in the past as well. I think he actually had a better attitude until about the mid 2010s. While I may not be his biggest fan I actually do like 23XI. As a fan of both Busch brothers I did enjoy that Kansas race.

Not even close. And the "charter" is just a horrendous sports tax that NASCAR shouldn't be doing. The sport is in a terrible spot.

@@NewWorldCT The charter system at least gives a team value though.

Hence the problem with NASCAR.

@@NewWorldCT The charts arguably kept the sport afloat. Sponsors aren’t willing to pay money on a car that might not even make the field. It adds stability that corporate America needs to find NASCAR worth the investment.

not a Hamlin fan but he damn sure knows how to count

I'm not a fan of him on track, but I am a damn big fan of him off track. He's smart, he understands the issues at the core, and he's one of the few active drivers that is extremely vocal and critical of Nascar

I work for FedEx corporate in Memphis. You have no idea how many times he comes here, unannounced and without cameras to spend time with the kids at St.Jude. The guy is more than a decent human being. It's just his attitude at the track that gets him his reputation. It's the only thing most people see from him.

@@jamiethornton6101 well at least we know he doesn’t do it for attention

I don’t. They can still be an owner in Xfinity and it would help the Cup program like it did when they had SHR.

Luke Sasser, I agree. He knows his stuff!!

He will not get any more wins with bubbles!

@@willydawg99 Well TY , I know there are thousands more like me so I'm in GOOD company .

From what I understand that salary cap is what this next gen is, as they can't modify any of the parts. It's probably not THEE salary cap. I'd go with salary caps with driver pay too (and if that's what you're referring to. I apologize). You have 4 drivers, you can't have the dream team of what Hendrick (Kahne, JG, JJ, Jr) or Rousch (Kennseth, Biff, Edwards) or Gibbs currently has. Those drivers get to a) go to their own team (Hamlin) or force to sign elsewhere. Just spit balling here.

I wish Jr. would start his own NASCAR type racing series.

Hello beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

The way sponsors work today, and selling one off races, I just don't think it's a viable option currently

@@ashketchumsdad people have been trying to figure out who you are since 1996

So what happens if Daytona 500, which people spend lots of $ to travel to and see, races without Chase Elliott and Kyle Busch? TV ratings?

They had the past champion’s provisional good for at least 7 races a year. You don’t think the past Cup champion from the year before would be unable to qualify for more than 7 races?

@@abubbam Silver is the name. Pokemon Chronicles....I met up with a kid that looks suspiciously like my son. What can I say my ex wife got around

Top 35 in points used to make the race regardless of Q back in the day. So that wouldn’t be an issue

@@justinreedracing6213 Yeah good point, I forgot about that.

Why would Chase not make the race without charters in Cup, he is a former champion.

@@ethanweeter2732 It was an example, that something like that could happen without a charter system. The former championship thing wouldn't work to well though, because Matt Kenseth could come back racing without a Charter and he wouldn't get a spot, he'd have to race/qualify his way in even though he is a former champion.

Jeff, see my comment above 👆🏼

Big fan of Dale Jr. (and his father before that). But I would rather that the Earnhardts remain focused on the Xfinity teams. Until/unless Hendrick, Childress, Gibbs, or Petty downsizes or quits the Cup series, then it makes no financial sense for the Earnhardts. Yes, new teams have started like Hamlin's, Track House, ect. But as far as I know, those new teams do not currently have any teams in Xfinity. I could always be wrong.😁

drew1212, Dale Jr, and Kelley, have both stated that the Cup series is a huge financial process to enter in order to find success. JRM has done quite well in the Xfinity series as has Dale Jr. Dale Jr did fairly well in the Cup series, but it was funded by others. DEI had a great future until gold-digger greedy Teresa took over. Dale Jr, and Kelley, tried informing her that she was going in the wrong direction, but Teresa cared less about their opinions and business experience. Teresa knew nothing about business ethics, nor cared. With her, it was always about money for herself. She had it all and destroyed it. DEI now no longer exists.

charter prices come down

@@johnhaas2523 Not likely.

So they spent double money then. The charter still allows teams to create value for their team when they sell it though.

Like any business..."oh the owner must be rich" clearly not the case.

Hello beautiful

How are you doing today

why do you care? you can see who won, you see where everybody finished, you see the stages, why do you have to "score the race"? they tell you what the points are.... do you plan to dazzle them with your napkin skills? I personally couldn't care less about the ultimate point score. the points get reset several times anyway. as long as your guy occasionally wins a race, all is well. Points are bogus anyway. nobody cares if you are 33rd or 34th in points. no, really. Nobody cares.

Not really. With the charter, you still have more competitive teams and they actually have a value them that can be sold or traded without losing as much money.

Money side you are right, but Denny is much more involved in the business decisions. Jordan is more like an investor rather than owner. Other than that he isn't talking about this only thinking about himself. People can hate him on the track, but when it comes to his thoughts on business and growing nascar he isn't doing it for selfish considerations. He legitmately wants to grow the sport

From what I understand, Jordan got some of the sponsors with the BLM movement. Jordan is a businessman, Denny really wasn't. Someone had to educate him about car ownership.

@@nascar88gyrl Jordan got a lot of the sponsors because of pre-existing relationships. And overall yeah he is an experienced business man. But in terms of the inner workings of Nascar it is Denny handling those operations. Of course he himself is not that experienced so he has help. Jordan is probably paying the vast majority of costs, and probably makes the high level decisions. Its like old monarchies when you had a king and a prime minister

@@ggsimmonds1 You mean racing decisions?

It'll be smart for JR Motorsports to go cup. Sponsors won't be an issue cuz of name recognition and it'll bring back the fans that NASCAR lost and new fans.

I want that too. Unfortunately sponsors want a guarantee that spending all that money gets them in the show every week. I'm not giving a race team 20 million on a maybe that they might make the race that week.

Back in the 60s and 70s sure but corporate sponsorship is not going to sign on to that or will not spend the money

The owners wanted the charter system. It makes their operation worth more if they choose to sell. Otherwise, it's just a building and equipment.

I get the whole charter thing, but it has turned the cup series into just a show and not a race it's pathetic

@@daveevans7957 It's the same racing. The charter doesn't affect a fan.

You're absolutely right

Hey 😌😂 Tom this is Jeff yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp (ex-biker) and you sir have just made the best statement about how to save Nascar and possibly bring it back to at least what is today

It is, but there are loopholes that need to be closed.

Richard Childress brought Jeffrey Earnhardt because its profitable to have a Earnhardt in a car that is black and #3 ..I was wondering if Richard waiting for Dale Earnhardt mom to pass away to bring the black 3 car back?

@@brettmullins751 I still think Richard is kinda a dick for letting someone the #3 when he supposedly retired the number...

Hamlin is just realizing how expensive it is for the owners and how much revenue has been reduced in recent years. Now he's crying for more money that currently goes to the track owners which will further hurt the sport.

@@dougcutler4948 He's literally just complaining about the same thing every team owner does, and he's right.

@@MJForever1999 Perhaps he should have done his homework BEFORE becoming an owner.

I don’t. He has money. Pay the charter out of pocket and get sponsors to back you up.

do you f****** understand the charter system? the charter system gives the owners something of value to sell. look at what former majority owner of RPM got from GMS racing when they bought the 2 charters

Money runs the world, always has. I think fans need to stay loyal and help be the reason NASCAR stays in business and gets better.

@@ethanweeter2732 NASCAR has not been good for a very long time. I too was a long time fan but I can not stand it now at all. The more I know about how NASCAR is run makes me hate it even more...

It would be cool to see him or Timmy hill have a fair chance at something. I think either of them could surprise given the right circumstances

How are you doing today

Hamlin has no brand. Michael Jordan has the brand and who says he wants to use his brand to support

spire is not the best team but they are trying more so than BJ

charters. no the teams because they earned them. jgr had to buy one of mwr charters for the 19 car and shr had to for the 41.

Yeah right. If you don’t care then why’d you pick this one random video

@@benpen1605 same reason I watched the video,he's a Jr fan.

That might be close. Heard around 8-10 million, so $5 million is probably close.

Totally agree. The salary cap was the best thing to happen to the NHL. Makes it more then how much money you can throw at it. It will help with drivers purse as well. Less money being pumped into being quicker means more money in your pocket.

Can't really salary cap a Nascar team it would have to be an organization like all of Hendricks or JGR for that to work then you wouldn't have powerhouse teams with 4 championship level drivers

@@snelgrove22 He means like, a cap on the development costs per year, not so much how much you're paying everyone

Expense caps go against the spirit of racing

You need a little technology for safety and to help make racing better. You cannot forget about technology.

What if Jr runs a full season just to get his team off the runway. Then hands it over to another driver.

More quality = less shitboxes

They never had beyond 30 cars capable of winning before. Now you have 25 - 30 cars capable of winning a race because more cars finish in the lead lap.

right now you can lose a charter if you're in the bottom three of the charter teams for 3 years. should it change yes but can only change when they renew the agreement

How about doing away with the stupid charter crap? If a big time sponsor’s drivercant qualify for a race, have his ass fired and replaced with someone who can!

i've been telling teams at a local track that for years but it falls on deaf ears due to the ego's involved . For some reason everyone wants to be a driver /mechanic but never the guy responsible for building a winning car. To me that's where the real satisfaction comes from ....you can put a driver with all the talent in the world in a subpar car and you'll never know how good he could've been but you put a marginal driver in the best car that money can buy and if he's competent at all he will luck into a win ,you put a good driver in good equipment there's more than enough accolades to go around for everybody involved .

@@539strt That'd probably be an ideal situation, but will probably never happen due to teams spending 10+ million dollars on the charters, just for them to go away and not get that money back.

​@@danielmurphy2164 Wait so it's teams ego's of why they don't shut their team down to join with other teams? What nonsense is that? The driver/mechanic teams are racing, because they want to race, not so they can be a team owner. Me and many people that I race with are exactly that, driver/mechanic/team owners. If I wasn't racing the car, guess what? I'm not putting my money into another team, i'm leaving racing. I put someone else in my 2nd car before, at the end of the year, I didn't care for it and went back to a 1 car team. To you, you may get satisfaction of just being a team owner, but most racing are not. They get satisfaction of actually racing. Same with fans being at the track, 90% of the racers don't give 2 cares if people are in stands watching or not. I went to quite a few races in 2020 and there was no fans or broadcast and a lot of drivers liked it. They didn't have to deal with anyone, they were able to go there and race with no hassle, the whole reason they're there in the first place. We're there to race because we like racing. I'm talking about World Of Outlaw guys and everything, the only thing a lot of them like about fans being at the track is the merch sales.

hahaha

Nascar tracks are basically owned by two groups, or was, Briton Smith and Nascar itself. Dover was the only independent track on the schedule as of about 10 years ago. I don't know if things have changed and maybe a little with the road course additions but I doubt it. Indy is owned by Penske for example now, but unless it's wildly changed since I've stopped paying attention Bruton Smith and Nascar own most tracks.

It is up to JR and Kelly. Rick could give jr and Kelly the money to buy 2 charters but they don't want that

Hendrick would have to sell back his portion of JRM first.

Money is not really Jr.’s problem, it is sponsorship so he does not pay out of pocket. As a smart businessperson you never want to pay out of pocket. Rick has Hendrick cars, the Hendrick Automotive Group, etc. to use as sponsors that Jr does not have yet really.

@@johnhaas2523 Jr has the cash probably, but why pay out of pocket? I would get investors together and own 51% and have the investors help with the other 49%.

@@ethanweeter2732 of course JR has the cash but of course he's not going to spend his personal money like that. even with jrm Rick Hendrick is like the money man

I agree. The charters keep future owners and small teams from entering and trying to he competitive. Charters are an unnecessary expense for team owners. We KNOW the Hendricks, Gibbs, Trackhouses and the Childresses are making the field. BUT if you wanna look at it strictly from a competitive standpoint, nobody should be locked in and guaranteed to race even with owners points. From a business standpoint, it hurts sponsorships. Imagine if Joey Logano missed a race because he blew a tire in qualifying and crashed. Yea it would bring that entertainment/wow factor to the sport but it ain’t good from a business standpoint. Thats why I believe the top 35 rule should’ve stayed. Plus it would make the Spires, Rick Wares and MBMs actually be competitive instead of qualifying 30th on back and riding around. Plus having charters makes qualifying pointless since we know all 36 or 37 cars are in. Im sure if Chase Elliott started 35th, he could drive his way up and win. Thats why when we had the top 35 rule, teams like Nemco, Tommy Baldwin Racing, and Front Row (before now) were actually forced to be competitive even though they weren’t doing better than mid pack. Getting rid of charters would make teams like Trackhouse, 23XI, RFK, RCR, and Penske be able to afford to field more cars, whether its part time or full time. Plus that would open the door for 43 car fields to return and actually have more cars attempt to qualify. I remember the Daytona 500 would have 50+ cars attempting for 43 spots and have like 15 cars miss the field.

The team has to have value to make sure the business model makes more sense. It has attracted new ownership which is a good thing. Sponsors have to have some guarantee they will get 36 races a year at least.

They bought existing charters which did not increase the size of the pie. The talk about paying the share of the pie is during a conversation about nascar making "more charters" available... i.e. introducing new blank charters for purchase and therefore diluting the value of a piece of the pie. Supply / demand.

innovation is what killed the sport as far as cost
