Aric Almirola announced he is not returning to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2024.

Aric not returning is not a surprise considering he wanted to return from NASCAR after last season, but Smithfield talked to him into returning for this season.

Legendary NASCAR Commentator Ken Squier has entered Hospice care.
He's 88 years old and I remembered Ken when I started following NASCAR back in the 90s. He was one of giants in broadcasting

He hasn't be a regular in Commentator in years, but was the voice of NASCAR from a television standpoint from the beginning of tv networks showing the entire race and doing it live. Before 1979 Daytona 500, there were only clips of NASCAR races shown on television.

NASCAR lands 7.7 Billion Dollar tv deal.

sports.yahoo.com

NASCAR adds Amazon and TNT as broadcast partners beginning in 2025

Fox and NBC are re-upping with NASCAR while Amazon will stream five midseason races.
sports.yahoo.com sports.yahoo.com

What I can tell you is the cup side is now going to be a bigger mess for broadcasting from 2025 to 2031 compare to right now. I am saying that because Amazon and TNT will be broadcasting 5 cup races a season starting in 2025. Also In 2025, Fox will be televising 4 cup races, NBC televise 5 cup races, F1 Televise 9 cup races and USA Network televise 9.

Kaulig racing announced today that A.J. Allmendinger is going back to race in the Xfinity Series as a full time competitor.

That is not a surprise announcement. During the final weeks of the season, I read rumors of this happening due to sponsor standpoint with Allmendinger.

Stewart Haas Racing has announced Noah Gragson is signed to a multi year deal for racing in the 10 car.

NASCAR also reinstated Cody Ware after prosecutors dismissed the charges against him.

This is not NASCAR news , but former race car driver Gil de Ferran died of a heart attack at the age of 56. I also know Gil was involved in racing from a management standpoint at the time of his death.

www.espn.com

De Ferran, 2003 Indy 500 winner, dies at age 56

Gil de Ferran, the 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner and holder of the closed-course land speed record, died Friday at age 56.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Gil never raced in NASCAR, but he's one those drivers that I believe the legacy is forgotten due to circumstances. What I mean by that is Gil was a 2 time champion in CART and a Indy 500 winner, but the era he did it made him not as well known as some Indy 500 winners.

After 1995, Open Wheel Racing Split into CART and Indy Racing league. The two organization merged into Indycar after 2007 season, but a lot of damage was done. That split caused the popularity of open wheel racing to decline in America and NASCAR at the time of the split was on the rise of popularity. Lets say NASCAR took advantage of the split. This affected how well known Gil De Ferran was considering he raced in the split era.

RIP to a great driver.

Cale Yarborough died at the age of 84.
www.espn.com

Yarborough, 3-time NASCAR champ, dies at 84

Cale Yarborough, a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion in the 1970s, has died at the age of 84.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

I remembered Cale as a NASCAR owner. As far as Cale as a NASCAR driver, I only saw him race by watching old taped NASCAR races that Espn Classic and the Speed Channel had. The first races I saw Cale raced was in the late 90s on ESPN Classic.

Back in the 80s, I did not follow NASCAR at all. I followed CART back in the 80s for Auto Racing.

I knew he was one of the biggest names as a driver in his era.

RIP to a legend.

J.T. Lundy, the Former co-owner of Ranier-Lundy Racing has died at the age of 82. The organization won 24 times from 67 to 87. The team fielded cars for Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough, Lennie Pond, Buddy Baker, Benny Parsons, and Davey Allison.

It is not a typo with me mentioning Davey Allison. The organization was sold to Robert Yates and Davey already was the driver of the 28 car when the organization was sold.

RIP to great team owner.
