Other imminent spring sporting signs are a little more subtle. Baseball loses the winter coat by inviting launchers and sensors to Arizona and Florida, where the familiar smart of Horsehide meeting the cow tank warms souls. Finally, the Masters arrive to fully inaugurate winter towards the sidewalk, with a Jim Nantz almost week offering the Eulogy / Intro combo.
Nothing sweet in the suspicion of Nascar from the end of winter. You get 40 (or 41) explosions of internal combustion trumpets, Air Force Thunderbirds to sparkle your molars, and in this particular case, an Air Force One Fly-By.
The subtlety is damned.
Let’s try to put an arc on another Daytona opener.
DUMMY? Daytona 500: Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon Critique Joey Logano for “Dumb Move” late on the crash
Not an unknown scene in the late stages of any Daytona 500.
First equipment: everything is fine in Daytona, until it is not
Suppose that drivers are not better than they were a generation or two (or three). That said, it seems that you should give credit to Aero boys as well as to the people of Goodyear, because the Daytona 500 worked in three large for long periods on Sunday evening, and without incident …
… Until the auditors are at a sniff distance.
A big one, then another, then the final big with the beating white flag and the ladies without ransacking. A few things about it.
First of all, it is sometimes too difficult to blame. You just have to tumble it because too many hungry people fight to go to the hollow and run out of space.
Second, my God, good fortune is sometimes the key to winning a great race. William Byron escapes outside just when things go crazy on his left and run in daylight.
Third, I have to ask. The Nascar race manager did not press the yellow button during this chaos of the last blow. Notice? When there is no apparent danger to do it, it is intelligent to let them run towards the band.
But three days earlier during the second duel qualification, Erik Jones spit at distance from the band when an accident fled behind and they immediately turned the lights of the warning. Jones won, but he didn’t do it, because Austin Cindric was a mustache before when yellow flashed.
It was not until Thursday, but imagine this scene taking place on a Sunday, especially the biggest Sunday in sport.
Ok, another thing. If Mike Joy writes a book based solely on his career in Daytona, the title must be: “… and they crash!” It was discreet, but perfect.
Second equipment: Legacy Motor Club turns a corner (maybe)
Jimmie Johnson searched through the size at the end and pulled a third place.
The teammate John Hunter Nemechek pocketed a fifth place. Erik Jones launched the latest sheet metal carnage explosion to take a respectable Daytona finish.
Since the Jimmie team was a year ago, they left Daytona with a wind in the back (a lot of wind to have Sunday, by the way). It must be a good sign, right?
Well, maybe. He certainly beats the alternative, but I hope that everyone has learned not to put too much stock in “plates races”. Normally, we suggest that more will be quickly learned about a team’s capacities, but this week brings Atlanta, which has become a piece of Racin de Plate a few years ago.
And then a road route to Austin.
As for 2025, we will have a solid view of the place where everyone is after the six weeks that followed before Easter breaks in mid-April. Will the inheritance be among those in good shape? Perhaps, but it will not be due to missing wrecks in Daytona.
Third equipment: Dale Earnhardt Jr. obtains a taste of the cup
Regarding young girl’s trips in the deep end of the NASCAR swimming pool, it was an investment enough at risk for Junior Earnhardt, whose operation of the Xfinity series gathered a Daytona 500 effort with Justin Allgaier driving.
Junior obtained a car from Hendrick Motorsports and funding from Chris Stapleton’s whiskey operation, so he did not have to withdraw a second mortgage to get there. However, it was something to see Junior So Over The Moon when Allgaier found the fast way and was wound on enough land last Thursday to secure a Daytona 500 slit.
JR Motorsports de junior field of four cars in the XFINITY series, including the Allgaier championship field in 2024, and for a long time said that the Cup series was too much a financial commitment at this stadium. The week in Daytona, which ended with the ninth place of Allgaier, did not attenuate Junior’s enthusiasm for a future cup effort.
An Earnhardt junior radiating with crew members before the start of Daytona 500 on Sunday.
“I would like to do this,” Earnhardt told NBC Sports after 500. “This is where we belong. This is where we want to be.
However, these charters are not cheap.
“We cannot do it by ourselves,” said Junior. “So he will take good people who want to invest in something that, I believe, has a lot of value and a lot of potential.”
It looks like a guy ready to make an argument for sale.
Meanwhile, did anyone say charters?
Fourth speed: the wheels of the legal bus turn and revolve around
In the days preceding Daytona 500, Nascar posted an appeal in the antitrust case brought by a pair of his teams from the series of Cups – 23X and first.
Several weeks earlier, an American district judge granted the two teams an injunction which allows them to operate this season as approved teams, which means that they keep their departure points guaranteed each week and receive a larger slice of financial pie that they would not do it as non -non -charters.
“The injunction orders of the district court flout the antitrust federal law; Apply the established rules governing the use of preliminary injunctions; ignore unrecognized and legally significant evidence; And have radical implications for the Nascar 2025 Cup 2025 series season, “said Nascar’s call.
If you play this to the end, assuming that an agreement before the trial cannot be reached, and consider what would happen if Nascar lost at the trial, you could find yourself looking around and saying: “Ok , now what? “
Good question.
Could Nascar simply dissolve the charter system and return to the old ways of “independent entrepreneurs” and no guarantee? This possibility was suggested by some spectators, but if you think that the current legality is annoying, imagine the mess that would create.

Daytona Beach, Florida (AP) – Help him, Tom Cruise!
The Nascar Hall of Famer, Jeff Gordon, wanted a suite “Days of Thunder” and told Daytona International Speedway that he was in contact with the Hollywood actor for the project to life.
“I absolutely talked to Tom because I want him to do the project,” said Gordon. “We want to be part of it if it should happen.”
News of confidence and daily delights, just in your reception box
See for yourself-the Yodel is the essential source for daily news, entertainment and wellness stories.
The Hollywood Reporter reported in November that Cruise had spoken to Paramount about a follow -up of his 1990 Nascar Racing film. The original was a critical scanning summer blockbuster that was largely supported in the NASCAR industry for its exaggeration and its exaggeration.
Over the decades, the film has since become a cult favorite in Nascar circles and is still quoted by racing fans to date.
“Rubbin ‘, son, racked” “,” Living, the immortal line of the Crew Manager Harry Hogge, played by Robert Duvall.
Halling high of its reputation “Top Gun”, Cruise had an idea for a film based on fast cars and the characters who ran them. And thus began the manufacture of “Thunder days”.
Gordon could inspire that Cole Traffle de Cruise at the time, although the character was vaguely based on the late Tim Richmond. Gordon, now vice-president of Hendrick Motorsports, won the Daytona 500 on Sunday with the owner of the Rick Hendrick team and driver William Byron. Gordon and Cruise remained friendly – Cruise presented himself in a 2015 NASCAR banquet to honor the retired Gordon – which could stimulate the prospect of the participation of Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports in a suite.
“He seems to like to tease him, so I don’t know,” said Gordon on Sunday evening. “We will see what’s going on. If this does not happen, I am confident enough that there is a project that will bring Nascar back on the big screen, otherwise really cool documentation or something beyond what we already see at the moment. “”
The film finally introduced Nascar to a wider audience which had a very limited exhibition for car races in stock before this summer. There had been racing films before – think of “Thunder Road”, “Grand Prix”, “Stroker Ace”, or even “Smokey and the Bandit” – but none that had represented Nascar in such a general public style.
“Difficult to imagine how you finish it today because they actually had racing cars with cameras in the race, and the cameras were big,” said Gordon. “The cameras have become much smaller, so maybe you could remove it, but how do you do it and make it realistic and really authentic?”
Nascar has seen more swings and failures than checkered flags with regard to its representation on the large or small screen from “Days of Thunder”. For all the “Talladega evenings”, there are 10 additional bombs such as the unhappy Netflix series of the actor Kevin James, “The Crew.” Gordon said he had been encouraged that the better days were ahead of Nascar in the entertainment industry.
“I just see much more momentum in projects like coming by Nascar and coming to Hendrick Motorsports and just more interest,” he said. “So it’s good, right?” He talks a lot about the place where sport is, where the incredible crowd was headed here all weekend, not only today, new television partners. “”

Real Madrid is no longer the only club to criticize the arbitrary liga while dissatisfaction propagates
Real Madrid has brought the charge to expose inconsistencies in arbitration through the liga, and now, more clubs are also starting to express their frustration.
According to Marca (H / T Madrid XTRA), the question, which Los blancos have highlighted for weeks, it is no longer an isolated concern. Other teams now recognize the need for greater transparency and equity within the framework of its official.
In recent weeks, Real Madrid has suffered from very questionable arbitration decisions, starting with controversial calls in their match against Espanyol and the controversial red card to Jude Bellingham against Osasuna.
These incidents have considerably influenced the results of these games, which raises serious concerns about the level of officer.
The Lighting of Barcelona
Now, the problem has extended beyond Real Madrid, as we see in the narrow 1-0 victory in Barcelona on Rayo Vallecano. The match sparked controversy when Barcelona received a penalty for a challenge that seemed similar to the one who was refused for Rayo.
To worsen things, Vallecano’s equalizer was refused, the referee citing obstruction when there was little evidence to support the call.

Rayo Vallecano director Inigo Perez was visibly frustrated by decisions but chose to remain silent in public. His reaction, however, was revealing. He also underlines how the problem of the inconsistent officer affects several teams, not only Real Madrid.
The clubs join
With more advanced clubs, it is obvious that the Liga can no longer ignore these concerns. Real Madrid’s efforts to draw attention to the issue have paved the way for wider discussions, and now there is an increasing action.
The highly spoken arbitration committee, which has been proposed to approach these questions, must now become operational without further delay.
The league clubs require a structured plan to ensure a more equitable official, which could mark the start of a reform expected for a long time in Spanish football.
Real Madrid has launched this movement, and while more and more teams are gathering behind the cause, the Liga will be forced to take the necessary measures to restore credibility to its arbitration standards.
