There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Why would BMW even consider such a parochial series?
The NASCAR 'Target Audience' are just not into the BMW niche, BMW don't build 'Trucks' and they seem to be fixated with the EV market.
Maybe it's BMW USA clutching at straws, but let's not forget that BMW jumped (or last I looked) ship from the expensive domestic DTM.
Smoke and mirrors IMHO!

Audi will leave at the end of the year, leaving BMW the sole manufacturer in DTM. BMW officials said they don't want to be alone, so they will most likely leave as well, which means DTM's death.

They have built a prototype, so who knows? And committing into Cup Series doesn't mean they will have to run trucks as well.

Interesting.....
That being said, having BMW enter NASCAR IMHO would definitely up the "interesting" factor. I guess how the 2022 NASCAR "car" pans out (which as I understand it, is heavily based on the Australian Supercars model) will dictate a BMW decision....
