FedEx has let down just as many people as Hamlin has. A perfect pairing. When one leaves, hoping the other will too. Love it when the trash takes itself out.
@@bryonkidder6199 NASCAR isn't what made them household names. Those companies didn't get too big for NASCAR, they just realized that there's very little return for their investment these days. They have access to all kinds of data analytics and advertising can be done a lot more efficiently. Spending $25 million a year to put some decals on a race car is just wasting money these days.
Chase Briscoe fan here. It wasn't just the really bad pit stop. He lost positions on EVERY pit stop at Bristol. His stops were consistently 1-2 seconds slower than the drivers he was racing around. I know a move like this is rough. But honestly, I'm glad they did something.
I feel bad for the team as well, especially after the big Darlington win.....but I'm 100% with you. On the track, Chase achieved much more than some may have noticed. Like you said, he went backward after every pit stop. With good pit stops, I believe he was a top 3 car for sure!
I completely understand your money argument for Herbst to 23XI, however Herbst is in the exact same scenario as Wallace is with Reddick. He is scraping by condending for a win here and there while his team mate wins the regular season championship. We are talking Xfinity too, the field, especially this year, is not very stacked. If 23XI takes Herbst money, I fear they are settling for an SHR style performance with 1 guy contending for the championship and carrying everything on his shoulders while everyone else flounders. Look how well it's worked out for SHR...
Herbst and Brandon Jones have such similar career stats its kinda crazy. Both went xfinity full time after never doing trucks full time. Both took until their fourth season to get their first win, which happened with four races to go in the season for both of them. Then they looked like they figured it out after that and their next wins werent seen as much as a surprise.
As one of very few Herbst fans (yes, we exist 😅) I’d be alright with him moving into Cup with a smaller/less competitive team to be able to tick the box, so to speak, but seeing him fight for the top positions in Xfinity on occasion is good fun. There are of course better candidates for a third 23XI car but if it only exists because of his family’s funding I have no issue with it
I'm a fan of herbst too. Ive seen his dad and uncle race trophy trucks for years. They've made the numbers 19 and 91 famous. Zane Smith's dad works with them. I wanna see him do good in NASCAR.
Wasn't FedEx about to come off the 11 back in 2005 when Jason Leffler was running terrible and missed the 600 until JGR agreed to put FedEx on the 18 car?
@bryonkidder6199 they are actually currently in finacial issues. The numbers you stated doesn't work like that. Thier stocks dropped again recently. A little reserch into what is happening at the company and you will understand the wider picture of what is happening to the company right now. (Again not being disrespectful to you).
@@bryonkidder6199 He should've said, cut backs. Everyone is missing the picture on FedEx. Fred Smith stepped down. The new guy in charge wants to cut cost, so he can make more money for the company. That's how these things go. Most rich people, want to find ways to keep making more money.
6:50 You are correct Eric and Cheerios/General Mills was a big sponsor for the Petty team, back when Dodge came back in 2001, I collected the Cheerios boxes with all the Petty cars and the 43 definitely had Cheerios. And I'm pretty sure hamburger helper was General Mills and they were on board since the 90s I think I do remember John Andretti (R.I.P.) driving the Hamburger Helper car.
I still have diecasts I got out of the cereal boxes in those days from other general mills cereals like golden grahams lucky charms and Reese's puffs. A few John andretti cars and also a few Richard Petty fictional-throwback cereal sponsored '70s cars.
I work in shipping and worldwide express isn’t a direct competitor of fedex per say, but they help coordinate shipping for almost every other freight company out there. So to say fed ex has no competition in nascar is kind of incorrect.
Thinking back to the '90's when the likes of Goodwrench, Kodak, Tide, Miller Brewing, Budweiser, Skoal, Kodiak, etc, etc., were the primary sponsors for every single race over multiple consecutive seasons. All huge recognizable national brands. Now? Most of the field is sponsored by brands I've never even heard of. Yeah, NASCAR has a major branding problem for sure.
NASCAR is too expensive, far less popular with way more entertainment options including a much wider variety of motorsport that people had no clue even existed back then, and in my opinion too many races 26-28 would be perfect especially if Xfinity or whatever it's gonna be called and the Trucks get their own standalone weekends.
Not sure how true it is but I heard there was a rift between Herbst and Ford. It started when he thought he should be elevated to a Ford Performance Driver with a exclusive Ford deal. Between SHR falling apart and him not helping Deageen earlier in the year it set things in motion. If you notice in interviews with Herbst he doesn’t say Ford ever but the 98 car.
I only dig the Briscoe move because it truly feels SHR as a whole company is in on the 14. So while the pit crew guys might not be pitting the car anymore. That whole company might as well be the 14 team at this point.
I've been following the FedEx story for about 5 years when Amazon went in-house that pretty much ended UPS and FedExs biggest contract, UPS can't downsize because unions won't let them, FedEx has a new CEO and Indians don't spend money on marketing
When it comes to haulers, the most iconic throughout the years without major changes has to go with the FedEx Haulers, sad to see the hauler not sporting the iconic scheme
This is a big part of sponsorship. Think about how many people see the big NASCAR haulers on the highway driving across the country each week. So much exposure.
Herbst will be in the 51 next yr with more support from rfk. With rfk landing kroger sponsorship rwr is the only place open for Herbst in cup .I thought rfk with kroger would land Haley easily as their 3rd driver but again the HMS money train ran someone over .I don't see 2311 expanding now with the charter fight with nascar and I don't think Herbst even with Monster backing is good enough for 2311 to sign him to a 3rd car even if monster bought the charter. Legacy m.c needs to switch crew chiefs and teams to at least get something positive going or hire entire crews from stewart hass. You know toyota isn't happy and lmc is supposed to be a tier one team. If they don't get some help soon they may be a 3rd tier team. Even though the 21 is basically a penske team i'd like to see them move some people around even bring in Berry sooner if possible. It kills me to see the 21 and 43 floundering around . The 21 ran great with Blaney and the 43 ran great under Mike Beam's control. I wish one of them could have landed Rodney Childers but again hms money brought Rodney to spire..
I wonder where Greg zipadelli or Mike bugarewicz are going. Also wonder where the other SHR crew chiefs are going. I think Dave elenz is good, look at his track record in Xfinity. Also he and Erik did great things together in '22. It perplexes me how much legacy is struggling given that everyone else who switched to Toyota from another manufacturer got better (furniture row, Leavine family) maybe legacy is playing the longer game instead of spending themselves into bankruptcy for quick success.
Some drivers will - no matter what - be associated with a given sponsor, in my personal mind. Kyle Busch and M&Ms. Jeff Gordon and Dupont. Martin Truex Jr and Bass Pro Shops. Joey Logano and Penzoil. Of course, Denny Hamlin and FedEx. It's a pity, from a fan's perspective, that we can't have more driver-sponsor combos like this.
Im not a denny fan by any means but i think either denny signed a one year deal with either FedEx or gibbs before the 2024 season or maybe it was FedEx signing a one year deal with denny or Gibbs. Either way if denny is smart which im sure he is he would buy one of the available charter thats available and keep it for himself in case if he has to drive for his own team. To be fair nascar admitted that they kept some charters in case if theirs a new manufacturer joining the sport so thats probably why the amount of cars in the field went from 43 drivers to 40 and now 38 or less so maybe thats why Herbst said that hes not confident about next season because of that. Maybe im thinking to much into it but it kinda makes sense
So the new TV deal is all about money too. If you're not paying to watch, you don't watch. I've been a Nascar fan for 35 years. Less races on network television means less races all fans can watch. Less they watch, less they care. If nascar doesn't want me to watch, fine, I won't watch. F-1, indycar...I'll find a replacement. Good move Nascar! That is if you're wanting less engaged fans caring about your sport
I think the flipping channels aspect of being on regular TV adds more viewers than streaming because it's harder to accidentally find something on streaming. People probably contribute to the ratings simply by turning on the TV and flipping channels even if they only have the race on for 5 seconds. It's so surprising that they are putting the coke 600, the longest race of the year, on streaming.
How is Chevrolet going to support all these new teams. Kaulig,Spire, Trackhouse, RCR. Who are first tier teams and who are not?? Not everyone is going to be Hendrick!
JGR announced earlier this week that Reser’s Fine Foods will be partnering with Christopher Bell in 2025. A key partner, staying with JGR but switching drivers.
Interesting. Rheem is Brandon Jones family's company and they stayed with JGR even when Brandon went to JRM, so I imagine they're staying with Bell next year. I hope this doesn't mean Stanley/DeWalt is reducing their presence.
I'm a Berry fan, because he's in Kevin's old ride, and the SHR team in general. I get who the change, but I don't like it either. It's too late to do it, to me. They have a rapport with Briscoe and Richard Boswell. Hopefully the new pit crew will help. Briscoe is qualifying well lately, so having 'better' pit crew could do well then.
A fact that is getting ignored is that FedEx last week reported a loss of 11 billion in market value, that and them ending their partnership with the commanders with 2 years left is a sign of internal problems at FedEx, that and the current sponsorship model that frankly outdated and needs modernization.
I'm a Trackhouse & Suarez fan, but a realistic fan, I wouldn't surprised if in 2026 or 27 if they still have 3 charters that Suarez could move over to Kaulig, especially if Zilich succeeds with in the XFinity.
I feel *slightly* better about the Ty Norris deal. Could be JM won't let anything out, but I think this was a mutual split. At least, I hope. I agree its a big get for Kaulig.
Hi Eric hey you never answered my question the engine that was supposed to be confiscated from Denny Hamlin how many races did that particular engine run before they tore it down I appreciate any kind of comments
I’m NOT worried about Ty Norris leaving Trackhouse, as I support both teams (as both have original ties to my original Chip Ganassi Racing affiliation) I work for a McDonald’s & when I first was hired with my franchise, in terms of NASCAR, it meant that I was (& still am in IndyCar & IMSA, & next year Indy NXT) under the Chip Ganassi Racing Team banner… However, in NASCAR, I still support Trackhouse (since Justin Marks; a former CGR driver himself) bought out Ganassi, & also Kaulig (as Ganassi had ties with Kaulig) & also Spire (since Spire is/was a Ganassi affiliated team) I am now predominantly 23XI (in NASCAR via McDonald’s) but also still cheer on my Trackhouse, Kaulig, & Spire boys too (& Niece Motorsports in the Truck Series)
As the pitcrew is as important as ever to the team's success, Nascar needs to have "trade deadline" that comes into play approximately 5 races or so before the end of the regular season in regards to the over-the-wall crew. There will need to be exceptions for injuries, bad behavior, etc., of course, but there needs to be a greater aspect of unity and integrity of team. I would even venture as far as to say that, since many of these guys are over-the-wall crew only, they need to be treated as position players, like in baseball. Maybe it's time for a crew draft? We already have the AA, AAA, and Major League structure for many of these teams with their Truck and Xfinity alliances. Could help make some of these crew guys develop more notoriety and give a new dynamic to the sport.
If Riley doesn't get a Cup ride, he could end up at RSS Racing for an Xfinity ride. RSS Racing has also held a few meetings with Hailie Deegan in the past few weeks. Could we see Hailie take over the #38 Xfinity ride, the number her dad made famous....
I doubt that Kaulig's equipment has gotten worse. They just went from having 2 very good drivers in AJ and Justin to a mediocre full time driver in Daniel and a rotating cast of pay drivers in the other car.
Im a Tackhouse fan and i've been concerned all season. I mean good for Daniel Suarez getting into the playoffs but the #1 car has not done well this year at all, there has been some bad luck sure but they need to get fired up next season.
I believe it’s was going to happen anyways. Gibbs could’ve for KB a sponsor. But why would he try so hard when his Grandson is just waiting for a spot.
It’s not going to. Mars (M&M’s) was a near full-season sponsor. The were on the car for the majority of the season and thus was a huge loss of sponsorship and revenue. But FedEx has been reduced to only a few races a year. It’s still a big blow but not as big as losing Mars
i'd be very upset if fedex left denny hamlin, because for me, fedex is Hamlin's identity. do you think that there will be more Mavis tire diecast for Denny if fedex pulls out?
FedEx was a $1 Billion dollar company in 2005 when they got into NASCAR. Now in 2024 FedEx is a $100 Billion dollar company and they wanna leave NASCAR?
Not concerned losing Ty as a trackhouse fan. I mean not happy about it, but I think he did the job he was intended to do and understand him wanting to rebuild another team. Seems like that’s what he gets his fulfillment from and can’t knock a guy for that.
Thiiiiis is why denny is holding out with the charter agreement. He doesnt have another business to fund his race team so its harder to put on b2b deals like most of Hendrick and penskes sponsors. He needs the revenue from nascar similar to how nfl teams dont have to rely on the owner's other businesses
@@bighand1530 he could, but the sport, mostly the cars, have changed so much. I feel the new car favors younger drivers. Even Busch struggles with the new cars.
@@larry648 Right. And I know Kyle Busch who has won 2 championships and 63 races has had his longest streak of not winning races. I dunno about Kyle Busch winning the championship again at this point. Lately, Denny Hamlin has been doing better than Kyle Busch. But yeah, might be too late at this point. But we shall see.
@@bighand1530 so my brother, father and my self ran into Chris Buescher at Toledo a few years back. My dad asked him I’d Busch was really that good, he said Busch could drive anything and win, and he was just shaking his head.
I think it's a bad move to have SHR to switch Briscoe's pit crew. I would be surprised if Briscoe is out of the round of 12. Hack Hamlin will find another sponsor. Maybe UPS will come back to NASCAR and sponsor Hack Hamlin lol.
Would be an epic screw you JGR if Fed-Ex made its way to RCR on the 8 car. Hell I’d absolutely love to see that happen just from the point of adding some rivalries to the storyline.
Glad Norris made it back from his role in the cheating scandal at Richmond when Bowyer spun out on purpose. Norris orchestrated the whole thing. Waltrip Racing went out of business because of him.
I think bud light would be a better fit for Denny. Matches his personality. He can be a Dylan Mulvaney of NASCAR. I fact bubba Wallace could pull that image off as well.

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see.

Now we have holding groups, rental equipment, and B2B deals

I would overall agree with that prediction
Contending
As someone who works in the trucking/shipping industry, it's so tumultuous right now that I'm not surprised they're trying to cut costs and pull out
Is it a surprise that Bennett is expanding with Austin Hill each year and now they're gonna sponsor the Atlanta xfinity race next year?

Both took until their fourth season to get their first win, which happened with four races to go in the season for both of them.

I wonder if Hamlin could end up driving for his own team. It’s not exactly the same but when mars dropped jgr it didn’t help Kyle stay there at all.
If that’s the case, Denny gets Air Jordan sponsorship.
Hopefully Gibbs would allow Hamlin the 11 and bring the 18 back on the track
I doubt it. Then he would have to pay himself.
He may before he officially retires
As one of very few Herbst fans (yes, we exist 😅) I’d be alright with him moving into Cup with a smaller/less competitive team to be able to tick the box, so to speak, but seeing him fight for the top positions in Xfinity on occasion is good fun.
There are of course better candidates for a third 23XI car but if it only exists because of his family’s funding I have no issue with it
Think he could do great with Reddick and Denny's knowledge
I could see Riley, in the 23 car, doing well after a few races.

In the 51 I’m guessing
Corey LaJoie in the 15 or 51 next year?
@@timpowell1429We’re not sure if Corey will go to RWR next year
@BraydenBunch58 honestly is LaJoie the best guy to end the year with RWR this year?
@@timpowell1429 I wouldn’t think so, Considering how this half of the season is going for him, He’ll wreck a bunch of cars.
Hi Eric hey you never answered my question the engine that was supposed to be confiscated from Denny Hamlin how many races did that particular engine run before they tore it down I appreciate any kind of comments
I’m NOT worried about Ty Norris leaving Trackhouse, as I support both teams (as both have original ties to my original Chip Ganassi Racing affiliation)
I work for a McDonald’s & when I first was hired with my franchise, in terms of NASCAR, it meant that I was (& still am in IndyCar & IMSA, & next year Indy NXT) under the Chip Ganassi Racing Team banner… However, in NASCAR, I still support Trackhouse (since Justin Marks; a former CGR driver himself) bought out Ganassi, & also Kaulig (as Ganassi had ties with Kaulig) & also Spire (since Spire is/was a Ganassi affiliated team)
I am now predominantly 23XI (in NASCAR via McDonald’s) but also still cheer on my Trackhouse, Kaulig, & Spire boys too (& Niece Motorsports in the Truck Series)
The entire world might also lose FedEx if they can't right their ship. They are sailing in some rough seas lately.
Publix is a good sponsor for Denny Hamlin and The #11 car.
There are no more charters .. for 2311 … you guys can add right 😊
I am curious to know if Riley has an option to go to the 19 truck replacing Christian Eckes.
Nope
After seeing Landon Lewis in the arca race at Bristol, I could see him getting that ride.
As the pitcrew is as important as ever to the team's success, Nascar needs to have "trade deadline" that comes into play approximately 5 races or so before the end of the regular season in regards to the over-the-wall crew. There will need to be exceptions for injuries, bad behavior, etc., of course, but there needs to be a greater aspect of unity and integrity of team. I would even venture as far as to say that, since many of these guys are over-the-wall crew only, they need to be treated as position players, like in baseball. Maybe it's time for a crew draft? We already have the AA, AAA, and Major League structure for many of these teams with their Truck and Xfinity alliances. Could help make some of these crew guys develop more notoriety and give a new dynamic to the sport.
What are Charters? I'm new to Nascar.
If Riley doesn't get a Cup ride, he could end up at RSS Racing for an Xfinity ride. RSS Racing has also held a few meetings with Hailie Deegan in the past few weeks. Could we see Hailie take over the #38 Xfinity ride, the number her dad made famous....
You know how Matt D. gets when he loses a ride, right?
Matt isn’t leaving the 38
I doubt that Kaulig's equipment has gotten worse. They just went from having 2 very good drivers in AJ and Justin to a mediocre full time driver in Daniel and a rotating cast of pay drivers in the other car.
BIG get for Kaulig!
spooky set up
I work with shipping companies everyday and this is Fed Ex’s last year….. fell bad for Denny and his team they were told of this decision last year……
It’s very unfortunate to see another sponsor leave the sport, They’ve been around for 20 years, But at least Denny has Mavis Tire.
Im a Tackhouse fan and i've been concerned all season. I mean good for Daniel Suarez getting into the playoffs but the #1 car has not done well this year at all, there has been some bad luck sure but they need to get fired up next season.
I am going to work at Gibbs at some point and I’m going to make the marketing department better ha ha 😂
Make nascar great again
Great video 👍
Kaulig racings Xfinity program is going to be tough to beat I believe
They haven’t won an oval all year long
@@user-ed1yx2fq7l I mean next year
Ty Norris is the Suitcase Jake Elder of our era.
Briscoes pit crew can probably come back once the round of 8 starts.
JGR do not want the fedex situation to end like kyles with M&Ms
At least M&M’s announced it around the end of the 2021 season.
I believe it’s was going to happen anyways. Gibbs could’ve for KB a sponsor. But why would he try so hard when his Grandson is just waiting for a spot.
It’s not going to. Mars (M&M’s) was a near full-season sponsor. The were on the car for the majority of the season and thus was a huge loss of sponsorship and revenue. But FedEx has been reduced to only a few races a year. It’s still a big blow but not as big as losing Mars
@@BraydenBunch58true 😊
I like to see dominos sponsor Denny Hamlin
I wonder what ever came about that commercial they did. I thought that would be the start of a bigger partnership.
See ya at Kansas!
i'd be very upset if fedex left denny hamlin, because for me, fedex is Hamlin's identity. do you think that there will be more Mavis tire diecast for Denny if fedex pulls out?
Not if,but when. Next year is going to be the final season of sponsorship.
All valid questions you ask of 23XI’s future and somehow the most important thing for them was to sign Bubba to an extended contract 🙄
I’m surprised DHL has never rlly dabbled in NASCAR. Especially since they already had their feet in race sponsorship
FedEx was a $1 Billion dollar company in 2005 when they got into NASCAR.
Now in 2024 FedEx is a $100 Billion dollar company and they wanna leave NASCAR?
What about Riley Herbst going to Kaulig Racing hey Riley got the money and Kaulig needs it. It makes sense to me.
Won’t happen
Not concerned losing Ty as a trackhouse fan. I mean not happy about it, but I think he did the job he was intended to do and understand him wanting to rebuild another team. Seems like that’s what he gets his fulfillment from and can’t knock a guy for that.
Personally I think what they did to Zane Smith might have played a bit in that decision possibly.
Alright Eric enough beating around the bush I wanna see power rankings ASAP and it better have KYLE MADAFAKIN LARSON AT NUMBAH 1
Thiiiiis is why denny is holding out with the charter agreement. He doesnt have another business to fund his race team so its harder to put on b2b deals like most of Hendrick and penskes sponsors. He needs the revenue from nascar similar to how nfl teams dont have to rely on the owner's other businesses
Denny never gave FedEx a championship and now he’s approaching the end of his career. The writing is on the wall.
There is still a possibility that Denny Hamlin could be this generation’s Bobby Allison. Bobby Allison was 45 when he won the championship in 1983.
@@bighand1530 he could, but the sport, mostly the cars, have changed so much. I feel the new car favors younger drivers. Even Busch struggles with the new cars.
@@larry648 Right. And I know Kyle Busch who has won 2 championships and 63 races has had his longest streak of not winning races. I dunno about Kyle Busch winning the championship again at this point. Lately, Denny Hamlin has been doing better than Kyle Busch. But yeah, might be too late at this point. But we shall see.
@@bighand1530 so my brother, father and my self ran into Chris Buescher at Toledo a few years back. My dad asked him I’d Busch was really that good, he said Busch could drive anything and win, and he was just shaking his head.
I think it's a bad move to have SHR to switch Briscoe's pit crew. I would be surprised if Briscoe is out of the round of 12. Hack Hamlin will find another sponsor. Maybe UPS will come back to NASCAR and sponsor Hack Hamlin lol.
Ally is the only one I can think of that sponsors every race of a season.
Yep, bigger get for Kaulig.
Yeah definitely for the xfinity program I know aj is going back to cup he could win a race but I’m not expecting much from him!
Would be an epic screw you JGR if Fed-Ex made its way to RCR on the 8 car. Hell I’d absolutely love to see that happen just from the point of adding some rivalries to the storyline.
Hamlin just made it to the round of 12 He Can not be Eliminated
Glad Norris made it back from his role in the cheating scandal at Richmond when Bowyer spun out on purpose. Norris orchestrated the whole thing. Waltrip Racing went out of business because of him.
Always felt for Mikey for this. He got such a bad rap for it when it was everyone else.
Not the end of the purple cars at JGR...there's still Yahoo and they aren't playing chicken like FedEx.
Good sponsors are getting hard to come by for Nascar
I hope Herbst goes to at least RSS Racing, that team seems to be his last chance for a decent Xfinity ride
I think bud light would be a better fit for Denny. Matches his personality. He can be a Dylan Mulvaney of NASCAR. I fact bubba Wallace could pull that image off as well.
I'd like to see Chase do the best he can , but didn't like pit crew swap
Excellent news go HMS
Ty Norris is going to make kaulig better I’m calling it now
i’m wondering what nascar will look like in five years and if i’m watching it anymore ?
What do you mean
If Denny wins the Championship sponsors won't be a problem
