Pocono is good in person and dreadful on tv. Especially with stages now turning it into a road race strategy wise.

I wish stages would go away. It’s pretty much eliminated green flag pit stops.

They’ve won 8 out of the last 12 Talladega races. Seems like they know what they’re doing.

The xfinity series has ARCA level drivers these days. There’s barely 10 guys who are even decent.

Kes is top 5 easy but until he has 2 winless years in a row the answer will still be KFB

I think it's pretty clearly Busch, then Harvick, then you can argue for a few guys for 3rd best.

Pretty sure Eric Jones is the most likely to follow Logano. The fourth Gibbs car is always just bleh, but the talent is there.

Byron will get as many chances as he wants since he’s got Liberty money. Bowman is probably destined to lose out due to sponsorship money at some point. Seems like he’s always chasing after it.

A lot of the guys who are here now will get some time. I’m not sure there’s anyone in the lower series right now that warrants moving on from one of the newer Cup guys.

Edit: I imagine this is Clints last year in a top ride. He hasn’t done enough to warrant it in almost well his whole career.

Trevor Bayne is good, feller can't help it that NASCAR teams are shitcanning dudes so they can run their grandkids/15 year old super late model champs

Bayne spent most of the decade wadding up Roush cars. For this, he is good. I understand why no one else wanted him though.

considering how bad roush is are we sure that was bayne's fault?

I thought he started in like 2012. Looked and it was 2015. Roush has two wins in the last 6 years hahaha

Mike Joy is fine, he’s been around forever and knows how to call a race and let a situation breathe when necessary. He’s actually been better since DW left.

NBC has too many people talking all the time. Burton and Letarte need to go I think, let it be Allen and Junior and it’s a solid booth.

This works except Bestwick instead of Allen.

Joy is fine and Bowyer will be ok I think. Gordon is like listening to paint dry.

It’s not like Larson’s career was over. He just spent the last year stomping World of Outlaws.

bigbillystyle posted:

Speaking of Kurt Busch he wasn't even racist, just a general dick and rear end in a top hat to everyone around him and he had to earn his way back into nice equipment. He drove the #78 before it was good, the loving #51 for Finch and eventually getting the ride at Haas. I'd say at that time Kurt was just as good of a wheelman as Larson at the Cup level and he couldn't get a decent ride. But, it seems like all that work actually made him learn something about himself and how he was acting. I don't hear too much about how Kurt Busch is a dick anymore, which I think you would considering how practically everything is recorded on a cell phone now and when he did the bulk of his assholishness flip phones were the most popular phones and you still couldn't go a month without a Kurt is a dick story. I don't think Larson has had to actually reflect on his behavior. Oh he did some bullshit community service work or sensitivity training or something? But, like others have pointed out, he was also crushing every big dirt race from here to Wisconsin until being fast tracked to one of the best rides in Cup. I feel like the biggest lesson he's learned is don't "affectionately" call my friends N-words in public or over any kind of radio transmission.

I think this is the big thing for me. It’s not cancel culture to think that saying the n word (in a racing context, not even off the clock) should result in a longer suspension. Kurt basically floundered for years because he was an rear end in a top hat and he’s now one of the more likable drivers. Larson is an rear end in a top hat too, why should he be treated differently?
