MICHIGAN--5mike5

[Optional]

I also 'think' quite a few Nationwide drivers run for prizemoney only and may get 50% or a little more for that.

Info comes from Phil Caravello, photog well known in nw garage.

Damn that's pretty good on top of their contracts. But I guess how good it is depends on who's base contract it is

[Optional]

A mid packer like Ambrose probably gets 40% plus a million or two, plus a % share of merchandise.

[5mike5]

What a life

[Optional]

Yeah agree.

In these days that being seriously hurt is hardly a concern. (although Denny might argue that point)

always wondered what % of merchandise they got

[Optional]

Kyle and Bubba one-two in trucks final practice so far.

[Optional]

I'd guess smallish. Due to all the parties involved. Manufacturing, shipping, retailing etc.

Maybe 15%? 10%?

[Vegas39]

damn love 10% of Juniors merchandise

[5mike5]

U could live out ur years in luxury with 0.25% of a 1 year sales cut of his t-shirts alone

[Optional]

Ha, not sure it amounts to that much for non chase drivers though. Or does it?

How much Merch would you estimate drivers like Burton, McMurray and Ambrose would sell?

he'll post a tinyurl link to his stream when its up. No idea why he isnt right now. No use asking why though as you will only get a smart ass answer.

Bit of a wannabe Sheldon Cooper nerd/asshole persona, but best quality streams you will find anywhere every time.

I've just been reading his twitter and that assessment may have been a bit harsh on my part. Was going on him being a bit of an ass once or twice.

I just lost all signal to speed channel. Just says speed/ fox sports 1 programming. Unreal shut off just as qualifying was coming on

Mine is still showing Speed on Directv.

[Vegas39]

Mines on still

[5mike5]

Mine just came back up. Actually changed the channel name to FS1 too.

Doesnt show upcoming programming but at least the channel is back working

[Vegas39]

Thats a good start

[5mike5]

I was worried because I don't get fuel tv here, but read that not a single NASCAR program is being shown on fs2 so that's good

[Optional]

that news report must have been wrong about race hub then

[5mike5]

that news report must have been wrong about race hub then

Yeah it says hub, raceday, everything on speed staying on fs1

[5mike5]

Kyle with a not so great qualifying effort there. .

hope Matt is a little better

[5mike5]

Kane looked AWFUL. Might be shifting him to my cover. Car doesn't look right at all. Something is off there

[Vegas39]

Race hub on FS1 but will be earlier start time

[Vegas39]

3 pm was good for me

[Slimpickens]

Now starting at the back of the pack.

We have the old regular format here, so two sessioins tomorrow tom make it race right.

I wish they did it this way every week.

[5mike5]

He better or he just got moved out of my roster. Hope Jimmie doesn't do that too I don't have that option to use him as anything else. Lol. I have alot to decide b4 Sunday on who I'm betting this week. Already on 48, longshot Newman, and looks like kahne gonna be a cover bet unless he changes the engine

[Optional]

Anyone want to give me odds on Ambrose taking pole and keeping the record?

Want to risk 25 points.
