His driver roster over his years of team ownership reads like a Who's Who of NASCAR. Among them, some guy named Earnhardt Sr. I believe......

Thanks, bucky. I had no idea of Mr. Moore's background beyond nascar team ownership. Rest in Peace Mr. Moore.
And what an owner Bud Moore was, his crew seemed like it never changed year after year. Not to be confused with "Little" Bud Moore a driver for awhile in the same time period.
Some teams are paying $2,500 to $3,000 for their air guns which are computer controlled, and have to be rebuilt for about $1,000 each between each race.
$900 for two guns rebuilt after each race is a good price.

Joe Gibbs especially. I hope that he's OK.
Mr. Hass was deadpan as were many other owners.
As usual Dale Jarrett was the most entertaining. Brian France couldn't wait to get off the stage after his presentations to Junior and Martin. Odd.
I guess that they can't let the 16 Chase drivers speak as it would take forever but I miss the 10 speech format. Some really great ones over the years.
Sherry Pollex looked somewhat embarrassed by all the attention considering that the other wives/partners were mostly ignored.
The 500 will be here before we know it.
Let someone else have it while it is still somewhat alive.

The bigger issue than lowering the costs of air guns will be forcing Gibbs, Hendrick, Stewart-Haas to not have 10-15 extra people on thier pit crew team.
Cutting the over the wall pit stop team to five, with the fueler not able to do things like crank in a wedge adjustment is going to lengthen pit stops. Only the jackman, two tire changers and one tire carrier will be a big change.
Limiting the number of people who can work on things like handing tires and gas cans and tools over the wall will also be something which requires changes. Cutting back on the number of chassis, body and engine specialist allowed in the garage will be interesting to watch.
But I don’t think it will achieve the goal of helping smaller teams stay in the sport. Probably in two years the number of cars starting the race will be cut back to 36, because that many or fewer cars will be all that are showing up.
