Cliff Daniels: "Uh, they've declared it."
Larson: "Like it's done?"
Daniels: "We've got it."
Larson: "OK. That was a little anticlimactic."
oh no
All-Pro WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the Rams’ final offensive snap today, and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, per @MikeGarafolo and me. The team does not believe he suffered a torn ACL, but the imaging Monday will tell more.

I proposed to SO and others that we do this:
Keep the current car, but made with new parts from NASCAR specified companies.
The general concept of a NASCAR cup car is a mid 1960s Chevrolet Chevelle front clip and a mid 1960s pickup truck suspension in the rear. NASCAR teams spent decades refining this technology.
Keep all of the general concepts and theories. Similar mounting points and such, all parts made by a Nascar mandated manufacturer or two or three. Trailing arms, upper and lower control arms, spindles. You name it. Have designated companies produce it all.
We could phase these parts in over the next 5 years and continue to race into the future a car we all have an extremely deep connection to.
The truck series could use these same parts. They could trickle down to ARCA, Late Model Stock. There is enough racing going on between all levels of "stock car racing" that this could be lucrative to the specified manufacturers of said parts. It would be cost affective toward teams. It would create a pipeline of parts trickling down toward the grassroots levels of racing as they too are concerned over current parts and current and future scarcity.
This is doable and maintains a key identifiable element to our industry.
My fear is that the industry needs to create a trickle down model for the current Cup Next Gen car. Hubs, front and rear suspension, drivetrain. All these mileaged parts used to have a place to go and compete until the Next Gen was introduced. So there may be some who feel it's common sense for the other 2 national series to adopt literal framework to utilize these pieces. No doubt Cup teams would like to have a marketplace for these parts.
Time will tell but I have a feeling it'll be really challenging to convince the league to keep the O'Reilly vehicle on its current architecture long term.

Wanna know why young people are livid?
Imagine they froze the NBA draft… no Wemby, no Cooper Flagg, no Caleb Wilson, Peterson, Boozer etc.
Those guys can’t find an NBA job. Can’t get an interview. Can’t get past AI screening.
“Not enough experience.” “We hired Bronny James.” “Andre Drummond went to college and has 12 years experience. Sorry Wemby.”
The 20 years of life’s work… the promises of a meritocracy that rewards hard work and aptitude… an illusion.
Wemby’s working a construction gig and 3 other jobs to make ends meet. Wondering why he can’t have the trajectory of Wilt, Kareem, etc… who he knows he’s every bit capable.
Andre Drummond gets richer and richer, while Wemby is out here with Ballsacksports on the line as a cook.
Ballsacksports says, “You’re better than all these guys.”
Wemby knocks his head on the heat lamp, sweating profusely, sweat glistening on his beautiful forehead, and says, “I dropped 232 in a pro-am league yesterday after my 16 hour shift, but Rob Pelinka thinks there’s no proof that I’m not just another Thon Maker…. Says he wants eight years experience.”
Cooper Flagg joins the shift. Came in on his bike to work his 6th double of the week. Says he stays off social media. Kyle Kuzma tweeted “just work harder like Drummond and I did, the economy is not that bad.”
Yaxel gets ready to clock out. Takes off his apron. Shouts to Wemby, “why don’t we just start promoting gambling and prediction markets? All the rich NBA guys do it.”
Wemby responds, “That’s unethical. It’s damaging to the youth.”
Yaxel retorts, “but it’s easy money. We’re out here doing productive jobs for society. We can’t afford health insurance, housing, rent, groceries… we can’t afford life, and yet we’re working 60 hours a week. My physical and mental health are in the gutter. I’ve got 120k in student loans.”
Wemby takes a deep breath…. Sweat still glistening on his beautiful forehead. He pauses, and says, “We’ll find a way… but we won’t go that way. We must not give up the good fight, even if it costs us the little comfort we could have.”
