NASCAR, 23XI, and Front Row Motorsports settle after 9 days over the antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR. Most details to remain private. Most important detail is the charters signed prior to the 2025 season will be amended to be "evergreen" aka permanent. They were currently under review for renewal.

My brother is in Vegas and found this Lando-flavored Monster. Says it tastes like Sour Apple Mountain Dew.

By Executive order from the Cheeto, the INDYCAR Freedom 250 is planned for an August date in DC. I expect a major shit show and a terrible race if this somehow happens. May be worse than that Cesar's Palace parking lot races of the 80s

Yeah it's not looking great from an excitement standpoint. I want to see time comparisons in fp1 at race 1, but cornering looks DOA and used solely for recharging the battery for straights. Doesn't seem very interesting tbh
