So what’s brewing?
So the NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out Clash is in the rear view mirror, but the event at Bowman Gray Stadium has definitely opened up a lot of dialogue in the sport concerning the fractured connection between short track racing and NASCAR’s national series racing.
Let’s talk about that today in a special FREE ACCESS EDITION of What’s Brewing.

Short answer there is zero hope of fixing the disconnect between short track racing and NASCAR CUP. Part the disappearance of the ladder system, part the fragmentation of entertainment and sports and partly self inflicted by tour modified promoters and teams themselves starting around 2004.
Set a minimum age limit to drive a Cup car…say 23 or 24. Second requirement must have raced at least 4 years at Xfinity, Trucks or a headline division at a local short track. Then have a wild card option where you apply for entry and the current cup drivers vote if you are in or not. 75% in favor or more to qualify.
