All right. New team and new manufacturer race plan idea just formulated by me here. Here it all goes:

I feel that, because of their credentials, experience, and vast racing knowledge acquired over the decades that brothers Kurt & Kyle Busch would make for awesome Cup Series team co-owners. In fact, Kyle Busch was owner of a Truck Series team for the longest time, as is well known.

At the risk of stating the obvious, Busch Brothers Racing would be the name for this new team. For a manufacturer alignment, I view this as a opportunity to break a new automaker into NASCAR, and I have a great one in mind: Hyundai. Hyundai has the influence, the appeal, and the competitive cash necessary to hit the NASCAR landscape at full throttle in all three of NASCAR's premier racing series. I could see Hyundai running the Elantra in Cup and Xfinity, and the Santa Cruz in the Truck Series. Also, I could see teams like Spire, Rick Ware, Front Row, Kaulig, and Thorsport aligning with Hyundai to give some more race team firepower on any and all NASCAR race weekends.

Anyway, back to the Busch Brothers Racing team idea. The best thing to do would be to start out running a two-car team, with the hopes that a third and fourth Cup team can be added in the future. If anyone can enable the results and sponsorship cash to start pouring in very early in the going, the Busch Brothers can.

The crew chiefs, pit crew members, race team personnel, primary race sponsors, and car numbers are things that should be left up to the Busch Brothers themselves. For the matter of drivers, some of the top names and new names in the Xfinity and Truck Series are all the best places to look to fill the seats of their cars and trucks.

In closing, this would be a fantastic opportunity to see both a brand new Cup team, as well as a brand new automaker, to enter the NASCAR realm and it could greatly benefit all parties involved.

I would not put it past NASCAR to schedule a Cup Series race in Japan in the future. I mean, they'll be running a Cup race in Mexico City next year. If they did decide to run a Cup race in Japan, would it be at Twin Ring Motegi? Would the Suzuka Circuit be able to host it? No matter the track, I think this would make for a very good title for a Japan Cup race.

I messaged these race logo designs to Ole Smoky Moonshine's FB page. "These are fantastic! Appreciate all the love, cheers!" was their response.

To me, this is Jimmy Buffet's best song. This was actually played at Dale Earnhardt's memorial service.

How come any NASCAR track has never come out with their own version of this?

South Carolina's on-field success has been inconsistent through its history, but more than a quarter-century ago a local real estate developer made sure the tailgating experience in Columbia would always be elite, thanks to 22 Cockabooses outside Williams-Brice Stadium.

With NASCAR now announcing that the Clash will be at Bowman Gray stadium starting in 2025, I actually have a quirky idea, name, and title sponsor for this event. Everybody pretty much knows about Dick's Sporting Goods, and its official slogan of Every Season Starts At Dick's. If the Clash took on Dick's Sporting Goods as the title sponsor, NASCAR could literally hype this up: Every Racing Season Starts At The Dick's Sporting Goods Clash at Bowman Gray!!!!!

I must be caught up in this Olympic fever. I have just completed my own symbol and motto for the 2028 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Los Angeles. I went with the Olympic torch and flame, along with two stars (one for the USA, the other for the state of California where LA is located). Inspired by the Olympic flame, and of Bob Seger's "The Fire Inside" song, I devised this motto: "The First Inside Burns the Brightest!!!!" Well, here's everything I did. I hope everybody loves this.

The Bonneville Salt Flats are a densely-packed salt pan in northwestern Utah which are 12 miles long and 5 miles wide. The Bonneville Salt Flats, and its reputation for also have served as the basis for my latest Photoshop painting, the Bonneville Salt Flat Speedsters. That could work as the main name for a speed gang that prides itself on thundering across the Salt Flats' white plains, recording the fastest land speeds imaginable, leaving The Blue Flame, The Spirit of America Sonic 1, Wingfoot Express, and the Green Monster all in their dust!!!!
