And, just like that – the lawsuit is over. NASCAR may have settled, but we talk about why the teams still won – and how the sport could change going forward. Plus – we discuss whether Bass Pro Shops helped make this happen, if the Steves will be the scapegoats, and if NASCAR is actually capable of doing things differently.
The Rundown:
– The settlement – who gets what, both confirmed and rumored
– Evergreen Charters – will it make a difference?
– 23XI/FRM get their charters back
– More money likely on the way, but probably not from the TV deal
– Was NASCAR scared of the jury…or the sponsors? (Spoiler alert – they should have been scared of both)
– How does NASCAR fix their image with the teams and with the fans?
– Week 2 Testimony – the big-name owners all admit they signed under duress
– Jim France gets caught up on the stand
– NASCAR clearly underestimated the teams case, and their own witness preparation
– NASCAR News: Rick Ware Racing to Chevy. Again.
