BitNile is not just a crypto company. They've got data centers for all sorts of industries. Also of note, they're listed on the NYSE and have been in business since well before Dale Earnhardt's first Cup race. That's Earnhardt Sr. The company was incorporated in 1969. They're legit.
I mean, he's driven a couple of truck races before and 1 Xfinity race back in like 2018 or something. He did alright in the truck, finished 18th in his first race which was pretty darn impressive considering it was in 2020 with no practice or qualifying so he was literally taking his first laps ever in the truck when they dropped the green for the race. Second time he was running pretty well and got a little loose and almost had it saved but then it snapped back and he slammed the wall pretty hard. I think he ended up finishing like 40th but he had run inside the top 15.
Not much adjusting to do. He’s been running pretty fast in trucks until something inevitably fucks up his race in the latter stages. Either way the guy knows how to drive a stock car.
Damn thats cool. I wonder where he's going? Maybe with trackhouse and project 91? NY racing? Or the money team? Not sure where else he's going. Thats great hope he does well. I kinda want him to win.
You mean an open wheeler like Kyle Larson or Christopher Bell? (Sprints and Midgets are by definition, open wheel). If you are referring to “Formula” style cars, I can’t think of any recent (within the past 10 years) drivers to be “overhyped”.
Conor Daly with TMT
And Tony Eury Jr as his crew chief
Hey, TMT still exists. That’s cool.
This should be interesting. Hope TMT can give him a good car, he is a good driver.
Define good...
Won't it just be an RCR car?
Cool to see The Money Team is still a thing, hopefully they'll show up more next year
The Money Team still existing is the most stunning thing about this.
Left field status: out of. God I love to see random entries like this tho
I think he tested the SRX car for broadcast preparation a couple of times.
OK, that’s pretty awesome.
This is awesome!!!
Awesome, I know he's really wanted to do some cup races since the Next Gen was announced.
The best part of this is more than 36 cars at the roval
This plus the two Hezeberg cars makes 39. I wonder if 3F still plans on showing up, that’d make a full field
Marco Saturday and Conor Sunday, hell yeah
Sponsor is crypto, we'll see if they get the check.
BitNile is Conor’s full time Indy Car sponsor
He didn’t get a check with Eli Lilly and they’ve been around since 1876.
They’ve sponsored both carpenter cars this year. They seem legit
They’ve been sponsoring him all season in Indy, I don’t think there’s any reason to doubt them

Obligatory hope the check clears comment
Let’s see how he adjusts to these absolute bricks that we call stock cars. I’m half sure he’ll adjust just fine, half sure it’ll be loose all the time

practice for project 91 effort next season?
I don’t think he would make the cut for a Project 91 seat
I like Conor but he’s never won anything anywhere so I doubt it.
money team is still around, cool.
Look I love Conor and I’m glad he’s got the opportunity but I really wish NASCAR didn’t allow guys to come into playoff races and make their debuts
Its a little different having someone with a decade of Indycar racing on their cv, as opposed to some yokel from ARCA showing up at random.
Yep. Another reason they should get rid of the playoffs!
Damn thats cool. I wonder where he's going? Maybe with trackhouse and project 91? NY racing? Or the money team? Not sure where else he's going. Thats great hope he does well. I kinda want him to win.
Is couch racer sure he is qualified?
Hope he runs well - fun to watch
Yay...another open-wheeler the NASCAR media can overhype...
