NASCAR announced rule changes. The rule changes are road courses had stages, but not cautions at end of each stage. Ross Chastain's Martinsville move has been outlawed by NASCAR and any driver that does it, will get a time penalty.

NASCAR announced rain tires for the following oval tracks in 2023: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Martinsville Speedway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway for All-Star weekend, Phoenix Raceway, Richmond Raceway, The Milwaukee Mile and Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

It was found out that Kyle Busch was arrested in Mexico in late January for Gun possession at an Air port in Mexico. What happened was Kyle forgot he had a gun in his bag. Kyle had to pay 27,000 pesos and given a 3 and half years in jail. It isn't know where that prison sentence will be carried out.

All I know is NASCAR is aware of it and is not punishing Kyle for it and Kyle was allowed to leave Mexico.

NASCAR announced today it will name the 75 Greatest Drivers in NASCAR history as it celebrates the past, present and future of the sport throughout its 75th “Diamond” Anniversary.

What is going on there is NASCAR for its 50th anniversary had 50 greatest drivers of all time and NASCAR is going to add an additional 25 drivers to that.

Here is the first 50 drivers from when the top 50 drivers list created in 1998: https://stockcarracing.fandom.com/wiki/NASCAR's_50_Greatest_Drivers

NASCAR has announced they have a partnership with Powerball. Powerball in this case is the well known lottery game.

What I gathered is NASCAR and Powerball would be running a season long co-promotion with the 1 million dollar grand prize drawing at the championship at Phoenix. Further information and details of the promotion, as well as how to enter, will be announced at a later date.

Charlotte Flair (WWE wrestler) has been named the Honorary Race Official for the Daytona 500. (This must be some sort of dual publicity arrangement for NASCAR and WWE. ) She's also promoting WWE's big event, Wrestlemania, scheduled for April 1-2, in Inglewood, CA.

I am sure JTG Daugherty Racing is extremely happy because its only their 2nd ever cup win and it being their first since Watkins Glen in August of 2014. The Daytona 500 though is home to cup organization in the past for long losing streaks coming to an end such as Trevor Bayne gave the Wood Bros. their first win since Elliott Sadler's 2001 Bristol win.

It was announced that Kyle Larson is going to compete in the 2024 Indy 500. The entry is going to be co-owned by Rick Hendrick and Arrow Mclaren.

For those who don't follow Indy Car, Arrow Mclaren has good equipment in Indycar. Patricio O'Ward won 2 races for Arrow Mclaren in 2021 and another 2 races in 2022 for them.

Chase Elliott will be missing Las Vegas race due to leg injury on left leg and needed surgery. What happened was Chase went snowboarding in Colorado earlier. I don't know how much time will Chase be out.

Xfinity series driver Josh Berry is the driver to sub for Chase at Las Vegas.

It has been announced that Josh Berry will be racing the upcoming oval races in the 9 car. Jordan Taylor will be in the 9 car for Circuit of Americas.

I'm giving a little bit of information about Jordan Taylor since I heard of him. Jordan Taylor is a professional sports car driver and is a 3 time championship winning sports car driver. He won 2 out of the 3 major sports car series evens out of there in 24 hours of Daytona and 12 hours of Sebring.

Him being picked for Circuit of Americas is not a surprised since Jeff Gordon and Jordan Taylor were 2 of the 4 drivers that won the 2017 24 hours of Daytona race.

NASCAR announced Denny Hamlin was fined 25 driver points and $50,000 for intentional contact with Ross Chastain at Phoenix. What happened was Denny Hamlin on his podcast admitted to making contact with Ross Chastain on purpose on the second to last lap of the Phoenix race.

Also all Hendrick Motorsports cars and the 31 car of Kaulig Racing were hit with L2-level infractions for unapproved modifications to parts. All those teams got 100 owner points taken away and 10 playoff points. The crew chiefs for each team were suspended for four races and fined $100,000. Every team except for the 9 team of Hendrick also got 100 driver points taken away also.
