Couple of interesting Silly Season rumors.

First is Hornish could be one and done at RPM and that David Ragan and Regan Smith are on the short list to replace him. Also the rumor mentions RPM could be switching manufactures. Second is that Penske wants Ryan Blaney full-time in Cup next year. It could possibly come by him racing cars by Penske and Wood Brothers.

Nascar needs to lock this "package" away and never let it see the light of day again.

Nascar needs to lock this "package" away and never let it see the light of day again.

....agreed.

That race was the living embodiment of the stereotype that people cite when they say nascar is boring.

Nascar needs to lock this "package" away and never let it see the light of day again.

I think we should label this package "return to sender".

My First thought was Peak based on the car but then I saw that it was a new company to the sport and I did see the rumor about this bakery.

My first thought was does this company do enough business to primarily sponsor a Cup car for 30 races as its mentioned it will? Apparently most of there stuff is sold at Walmart.

 

[YankeeVol]

Peak would have been my first guess based off that sneak peak as well.

Browsing around the internet it looks like their annual revenue is $125-150 million. The CEO projects that their revenue will be $300 million in the next 5 years. 30 races would be about 10-12 million. So it's possible.

Another interesting rumor I came across is Powerade!

 

[doozer]

I bet they can't wait to run in 25th!

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I bet they can't wait to run in 25th!

Bet they can't wait for the publicity it brings! Her "Sneak Peak" has been Favorited 1.5k times!

Like her not she has fans! She has over 1.29M followers on Twitter, Dale Jr. only 1.1M!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I bet they can't wait to run in 25th!

She probably sells as many shirts as ole Tony Stewart.

 

[doozer]

She probably sells as many shirts as ole Tony Stewart.

I'm sure she'll be first in line then for induction into the t-shirt and trinket selling wing of the Hall of Fame.
