S2E15: Restart Rules Rewritten? Richmond needs a repave, Driver Pay, MotoGP Sold

We discuss the nuances of NASCAR driver contracts and the impact of the charter agreement on driver pay and team penalties. We also compare flagging rules across different racing disciplines and reflect on the strategic decisions made during the controversial finish at the Richmond race. Additionally, they explore the potential of wet tires in NASCAR and the excitement (or lack thereof) around racing at Richmond Raceway. The conversation extends to the broader racing scene, touching on developments in open-wheel racing, hybrid technology, and the growth of motorsports. They also address the legal implications of negative media coverage on the FIA and the inability of professional drivers to retire. The episode concludes with insights into driver movements, MotoGP series ownership, and the thrill of rally racing.
