A new manufacturer in Cup?

Petty has been approached by several manufacturers recently. What's interesting is that while there are the usual suspects there is one new manufacturer that is trying to break into the sport.

I wonder who that could be, Honda maybe? Also, now with Penske switching over to the Ford banner next year, that leaves Dodge with the lone team of Robby Gordon Motorsports. God help them if that's all they got.

Dodge has approached Petty about coming back ino the brand.

I seriously doubt that it's Honda. NASCRAP like to have a brand that can compete in all the series. Honda doesn't have a truck.

Nissan has the truck, but I don't think it has any interest in oval track racing.

Allegedly, NASCAR had been in preliminary discussions with Volkswagen about a year and a half ago, but V-Dub wasn't satisfied with the brand identity and didn't like the idea of building an engine package in accordance with NASCAR rules. With the 2013 redesign, I wouldn't be surprised if it were them, personally.

As for the truck, they have the Amarok but admittedly I don't think it's being sold in the US.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
