Good news! Jeff Kuniskis is back as the CEO of Stellantis. He has announced that the Hemis are back in production and Dodge is coming back to NASCAR starting with a livery system of the Dodge Ram entry in the Craftsman Truck Series. A rendition of the new truck is on the NASCAR homepage and it is a sweet looking machine. Kuniskis also announced that Dodge, Chrysler will be back in NASCAR for the 2026 Daytona 500. He didn't indicate what model will be entered. He is presently looking for four truck teams to take on Ram's new entry into the truck series. Yeah!! Good to see Dodge coming back to NASCAR!!

How is the series doing on Prime? I can't imagine a lot of fans being too happy about some of the races being on there. NFL can get away with it but a sport like NASCAR that doesn't have nearly the support the NFL does I think is a dangerous game to play.

Unfortunely it is the way of the future. All sports on streaming channels.

As far as the broadcast go. Good and bad like regular channels. For me Jr is a decent announcer, but Carl Edwards voice annoys me.

You're definitely not wrong. Just wonder how many actually sign up to get Prime just to watch their six races.
Not surprised by Dale being in the booth since he was when NBC had the coverage. Is Carl in the booth or just an in studio guy? I like him but just don't feel like being in the booth would be a good fit for him. Before this venture, I figured him as staying away from NASCAR, like Stewart seems to be trying to do now.

Carl is in that little trackside booth they use.



IndyCar put a number of races on Peacock the last few years.
