also expected this week: Petty/GMS Announcing next driver of the 42 succeeding Ty Dillon (Wednesday)
might as well just announce whos in the jr 9

there are now fifteen winners in 21 races w/ Harvick jumping from 17th to 15th; Blaney is the only team not locked in although winning the non point All Star Race
i really hope blaney makes it, we really dont need guys like cindric or briscoe in the playoffs and blaney would make it a lot more competitive

NASCAR Productions will be fully in Charlotte by 2024; a 58K square foot facility is now breaking ground adjacent to the R& D Center;

Charter system has now grown to 20 M financially since the system was adopted; Starcom Racing's charter was valued at 13.5 M when it was transferred to 23XI Racing for the 45;

looks like Ty Gibbs will run a 'Jumpman' schematic at Richmond on the 45

petty gms has just announced Noah Gragson will be driving the 42 in cup next year
yup as the rumor expected when Ty Dillon mutually parted ways at the end of this season....

another XFINITY Driver change also was announced: Josh Williams, the driver,(there's also a spotter named that as well) who began his career @ DGM Racing WAS RELEASED by BJ McLeod Motorsports after splitting time between their 78 and 5 entries (similiar to Matt Mills and the 99 THAT went away after Nick Sanchez left and Stefan Parsons took the Alpha Prime 45 ride).

now w/ Gragson landing at Petty/GMS IN 2023; What becomes of the 1 member Beard Motorsports #62 team, that lost its namesake a few years back and had employed Gragson on the Speedways like Daytona/Talladega;

well, this team does have a NEXT Gen Car and is allied w/ RCR.... WOULD Ty Dillon return/accept to an allied car instead of a possible return to the 8 that's now been linked to Austin Hill
