Giveaway Announcement, NASCAR at Talladega, NASCAR Sponsorship Issues
On this week’s episode of F-R Racing’s Garage Talk, we unveil the 2025 F-R Racing Anniversary giveaway! You’ll want to stick around after the open to see what could be yours!
After that, Erik opens a pack of trading cards from Parkside Cards. Parkside is a smaller trading card producer who is the exclusive supplier for IndyCar and the NWSL. Erik has gotten lucky in the past and ended up with an autographed card. Will he this time?
Next, we move onto an issue brought up by Mike Joy last week on Kevin Harvick’s show about NASCAR failing to adapt for the next generation of fans. With “youthful” sponsors and consumer products being replaced by B2B sponsors, is there a disconnect between the sponsors and the fans?
Finally, we get into Talladega weekend including a Top 10 in the ARCA race from Cleetus McFarland, a messy end to the Xfinity race, and a snooze fest of a cup race. Elton Sawyer (NASCAR competition director) thinks nothing is wrong, but is missing a huge point. Be sure to head to https://frracingonline.com/contest and sign up today before June 30th!

Recent Race Results
Race: iRacing Daytona 24
Results: Erik Richardson, Hunter Hughes, Ian Miller, and Tyler Vickery ran in the GTP/Hypercar class for the first time in the Ferrari 499P. The real stars of the show was the rain and the new dynamic track debris system that created chaos all over the track. Numerous accidents led to a P9 in class (of 21) and P33 overall (of 58). We look to bounce back stronger at Sebring in March.
