Where are All The Detail Guys On These NASCAR and ARCA Pit Crews?

 Frankly, where are all the Detail Guys On these NASCAR and ARCA Pit Crews? We over focus on Student Athletes and Engines, but, Detail Guys have to be Doing their Job? Or are they?

What bothers me is that Roll Cages are there for a Reason, and they are not meant to move. Since Richie Evans, Roll Cages have been in Business for a Reason.

I'd feel a lot of these teams have gotten Clubby and not in a Good Way. We have focused on Rent-A-Wrecks, but, actually wrecked cars are not fun.

Auto Racing is not a Frivolous Field. We'd dedicate and throw ourselves to Cars that would look worse in 10 Years, but, Not Roll Cages.

I'd also feel the Automotive Field has gotten in the Worst Shape its been in approximately, ever, and not in a good way, either.

Is there any Miracles to have ARCA NOT be Indy Lights?

I feel like the focus of ARCA Should be having Ford Families, Chevrolet Families, Pontiac Families, Mopar Families to respect the car and not have a Point of No Return Feud like in Supercross. I feel like if I was having to see ARCA make Hawkeye Downs or Orange County, they'd have to at least have 30 Cars on the ground.

My real worry would be if General Managers and Promoters start getting stipulations like it was the Cartman-Snyder arc, and trust me, that is not pretty. I don't think Indy Lights was going to spend their money on under a Points Standings Worth of Cars, even if we had to shod Hardee's on the cars in their biggest ancestrial market.

I would think this would be due to Rick Hendrick freeing the Crazy 88 and stirring a Merchandise Run, except it was Alex Bowman and Not Dale Earnhardt,Jr. . I think the Childress Sponsors went to Penske and the truth is, Hendrick does not want Noah Gragson to blow engines and be a Seth and Toby on Personal Responsibility.

I don't think necessarily in Stock Cars, we'd gas the Cup Division into a DNQ List every Weekend next Winter like we'd have to sell more Indy Cars. I don't think even if we had an IROC Driver of the Year Standing Going, we'd litter the board with Sentimental/Emotional Victories vs. true Season Talent.

This would be a jump in Multiple areas and not all of them would be good. Is there any miracles to have ARCA NOT be Indy Lights in the sense of too thin Car Counts?

I feel ARCA Acquisition Is Still Appealing

I don't necessarily want to focus on a separate but unrelated part of the Stock Car or Auto Racing Ecosystem, even though I've blotted a Coronation of Chase Elliott into existance, with Championship Moves previously reserved for Sir Jackie Stewart, but, I feel there are unresolved revolvers around the ARCA Acquisition.

And, I feel there will be people who'd buy out of portfolio. And, what's wilder is we need jobs on a lot of jobs here. I am being spiritual here, even though that is not normally who I am.

But, I feel we haven't had a Scribe since David Poole died. (That was 10 Years Ago, thank you.) And, speaking of scribes, I feel like we have to ID Voices of the Sport because I don't want to go through not having Solid Voices I can set my life to.

Friends would be too easy. And, the more we'd get together in Romance is Child's Play instead of actually being Romantic. And, generally, most people are solid when they go home without having to need so many different things just to make money. And, having to do resusitate Pop Culture is a Necessary Fight.

What if Anyone Went From ARCA to Cup Again?

Other than Jeremy Mayfield being the most recent successful ARCA to Cup Starter with no other intermediary stops and with Tim Steele getting hurt during the Cup Test, thereby shorting out his racing career, which I still felt strongly to this day Tim Steele should have been more Jimmie Johnson than Jimmie Johnson if he wasn't injured.

The first part if we hired anyone on the circuit, we'd have to know if their work at the Short Track level held water. Not just the test for Ryan Gustin and walking back that ride because the Sponsor Check bounced, but, it would have to be a Johnny Appleseed like Mayfield was instead of Johnny Manziel on the Social Media.

I think, too, having to leave proper results and not just wins. And, the paint and the owner has to be caring about more than themselves at the Cup Level. If it is the bluest shade of Blueberry Bluebird Blue like Bob Senneker used to run, that is a good image.

Even though there is no promise of being elite, or successful, but, I think, too, the upside is they'd be more about racing than being a company man/woman. And, the downside, is not having the other series to break your fall. I don't think being rung happy just to be rung happy is a good image, especially if we have id'd the Stock Car Formula 1000 in the Southern Super Series and not just Super Late Models or Dirt Late Models. Other than everything rolling down, I think the other way is to see who'd be good with the racing and not necessarily the outsized Media Speciality or Other Trappings.
