I see LU and Rick Hendrick Automotive Group have signed some deal for LU School of Business. Down the road this could lead to more LU/ NASCAR involvement.

Who knows, maybe someday we will have a race track off Candler's Mtn Road.

He has had a ton of stories done on him in advance of his Daytona debut. The motorsports media seem to view him as a legitimate rising star of the sport. He also decided to go home this semester and take his classes through LU Online. He claims he couldn't get much sleep in the dorm. Seems like my experience back in the day.

He missed badly on his setup and dropped back early, but managed to not get caught up in any of the major wrecks so a 9th is a good place to be...on to Atlanta...no wait...isn't Fontana next?

Welcome to points on the list e every 60 laps. Between the wrecks and fatigue of having no "downtime" behind the wheel, I expect this to keep up.

On my way back from Auburn Saturday night, I saw the LU Racing Team Hauler at a Rest Area in South Carolina. I wanted to take photo of it, but it was too dark.

Byron rolling at Vegas. Up to fourth midway and getting some good tv props.

So, word just broke that Dale Earnhardt Jr is retiring at the end of this season.
Y'all think Hendricks will roll the dice and move Byron up for next season, or run him in Xfinity again????

That is a good observation. I suppose it all depends on how he performs the rest of this Xfinity season. But opportunity would certainly appear to be on the horizon.

There is a good chance Kasey Kahne will be out of the 5 car at the end of this season too.
With 2 seats open, I think Hendrick will go for it. 7/10 chance anyway

Kahane should be out of #5 car. A wasted seat in my opinion. With Hendricks' connection to LU, I think there's a good chance for Byron to get a Cup ride. Be good PR for LU to sponsor a Cup car, even as an associate sponsor.
