Iconic Team Publicly Protests Against NASCAR’s Business Model as Their Withdrawal Gets the Fans’ Approval

MBM Motorsports, a team competing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series since 2015, has boldly decided to withdraw from the upcoming Alsco Uniforms 250 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. This move has stirred controversy and shed light on the challenges faced by teams in the sport.

Car Long’s team cited two primary reasons for their withdrawal: the lack of simulator time and the absence of practice, which hindered their ability to qualify and secure a spot in the race.

NASCAR Xfinity’s business model remains the prime reason for MBM’s dropout

For this decade-old team, missing races due to qualification issues have been a recurring problem over the past nine out of 10 seasons. However, this is the first time since 2014 that they will not have a car and driver listed for a race. Their absence from the entry list highlights the team’s struggle to stay competitive in the Xfinity Series.

Looking ahead, MBM Motorsports has revealed their plans to transfer Chad Finchum’s entry to the upcoming race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Beyond that, they have committed to participating in only three other race weekends at Daytona International Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, and the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. These limited appearances raise questions about the team’s long-term stability and their ability to compete consistently in the Xfinity Series.
