Trackhouse Racing: Swapping Rubber For Leather?
Holy carousel of calamity, Batman! The grapevine has it that **Trackhouse Racing**, the ace NASCAR team that includes Mr. Worldwide Pitbull as a part-owner, is mulling over an intriguing proposition. Could it be a crossover? Might the realm of two-wheels be welcoming some four-wheel fireballs? According to sources in the MotoGP paddock, there’s some chatter about this team rolling onto the MotoGP grid like a Prius at a monster truck rally.
American team Trackhouse Racing is heavily tipped to become the unlikely savior of Aprilia‘s satellite MotoGP operation for the 2024 season.” – According to the website The Race.
Talk about a plot twist that makes The Da Vinci Code seem as complicated as a coloring book!
This NASCAR-MotoGP dalliance comes as Razlan Razali decides to don his cowboy hat and rides off into the sunset, right ahead of pre-season testing. The timing could be written off as a coincidence, or it could be a suitable signal for the NASCAR crew to dip its toes in the MotoGP pool – it happens all the time in sports, but this one feels a bit more like ‘As the Wheel Turns,’ doesn’t it?
Trackhouse’s potential foray into MotoGP might have something to do with the financial hoopla that ended up being as messy as Thanksgiving dinner with your in-laws. Cryptodata, who planned to run operations sans Razali’s sage guidance, found themselves in an uproar over sponsorship fees for this year’s Austrian GP.
“It is believed that CryptoData had initially hoped to continue running the team without Razali‘s involvement.” – The Race
The plot thickens! Dorna, the authority of the series, then decided to change the station – or more like change the race, and now, they’re believed to be engaged in talks with this NASCAR team, prepping the baton for a smooth handoff.
Take a moment to absorb this. Despite the irritating nature of this switcheroo, it could just be the balm for both international and domestic audiences. Yes, folks, Trackhouse Racing could infuse the much-needed American fervor into MotoGP, which has found its audiences dwindling faster than the speed of their bikes. Let’s hope that a celebrity endorser could whisper sweet somethings in the ear of US viewership and get those numbers on an uptick.
Trackhouse joining would mark . . . an essential target for Dorna by bringing more American interest into the premier class of two-wheeled racing while also potentially adding a high-profile celebrity backer to the grid. – The-Race
So strap those helmets tight, folks. We may be in for a delectable racing soup.
