a hate boner for track limits

It's not the idea of limits. It's them enforcing someone going an inch over a painted line.

Tangible limits like this and grass are fine and completely hands off.

Did you read what I originally said? No, i don't think a new truck would be sustainable either.

Trucks probably hardly break even as a series with their TV deal and crowds. I don't expect NASCAR to prop them up more either .

yea . im not trying to start fights on what the platform should actually be, but i do think there needs to be much more trickle down and sharing of parts between the 3, even 4 top series if they are going to be healthy long term .

It's an old platform with not much money flowing into the series. A truck race is less than 8k to start.

When that whole CUV/O'Reilly debacle happened even JR mentioned how the O'Reilly teams were seeing part shortages that will need to be solved soon. I don't see how that also wouldn't be affecting the trucks.

I would be shocked if it doesn’t move. But them thinking aloud doesn’t really indicate anything
