Joining in on the COTA:
* #50 Kamui Kobayashi, 3rd car for this race for 23XI Racing (team mates are Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace). I noticed in his news bits that he thinks NASCAR would be a big hit in his country, Japan.
*
#16 Shane Van Gisbergen (SVG) for Trackhouse/Kaulig Racing collab. Last year was great for him at Chicago and is slated for all 7 road races this year.
*#13 AJ Allmendinger (Kaulig Racing)
*#66 Timmy Hill (Hill Motorsports)

We don't do gamble online with real money or in person for NASCAR stuff. Draft Kings and others like it just became legal in NC in the past few weeks.
 
Awesome!!!

Maybe we should get a Mickey (or whatever Disney related) Racing trophy for the winner at the end is the season? :)
 
Justin Haley #51 car went from 17th to 39th after being disqualified due to not meeting the weight limit after the race. He also moved from being 26th in championship standings to 31st.

No changes in positions when I read the change updates in my alerts.
