Everyone knows Larson is talented but let’s not forget about the mad scientist that Kevin Rumley is. Whenever that guy has time to cook something up it’s usually something good.

2017 when he and JD came outta the woods at the beginning of September and took the Hillbilly and the World like everyone else were tied to trees. And no one will ever be able to doubt what they did in 2015. Not saying Davenport isn’t good but his recent results show. Every jockey needs a fast horse or he’s just another jockey.

I’m not saying what Larson did last night isn’t a big deal. Only that he had a exceptional race car that a lot of guys could have taken from the outside front row at a big wide track like Port and win the race.

Take him to Clarksville and start him mid pack and see what happens. I bet he runs mid pack

I've never seen a pass at Clarksville. That would prove nothing.

Well listening to Rumley they may show up again. You know if Larson does and say doesn't win all you closet desk jockeys are going to come out of your holes saying the garbage. Go away.

What a joke! Larson still had to put the car on the front row. Every other driver there had they same chance to qualify and run their heat race to put the car on the front row. Rumley’s is exceptional but let’s not act like the other guys weren’t in top notch equipment either.

So if Larson goes to Clarksville and puts the car on the front row and wins, you are still going to discredit him because he didnt come from the middle of the pack? What a moron. Seriously are you really that stupid?

Clarksville might be the single worst track in all of Tennessee, if not the South. Why that place continues getting Summer Nats shows is beyond me.

Makes you wonder, if he had some ideas for the house car that the founders weren't interested in!

I'd like to see him at FALS on a hooked up track. Not to say he wouldn't excel but would be neat to see. He put that #6 car through some pretty tight holes late night so who knows. Enjoy it while it's happening. It won't last.

He is involved with numerous types of race cars right now. Even though he said he was planning on some other events, his schedule is undoubtedly pretty full. And it's only time before he's back in Cup.
The (won't last) wasn't directed at his racing abilities if that's what you're implying.

NASCAR types would almost assuredly be more comfortable with him in a dlm as opposed to springs or midgets. Better safety record.

this guy not getting a shot at indy car or f1 would be a shame. He has nothing to prove in nascar hes better than that. i see all these people say yea hes good but he had the best car out there, i suggest you go to DoD and watch the rocket shop tour videos last week and tell me how it gets any better rescources than that

He won’t be getting a shot at F1. That is a whole different ballgame and he hasn’t done any road racing in an open wheel car, that I am aware. Would it be fun to see him in and Indy Car, yes. If he races for Tony Stewart, I would think there could be a possible ‘fun’ drive in a Haas F1 car.

If hass wants kyle larson you bet he'll be in the car. Any car that carries his sponsorship. It may be a very interesting off season for kyle larson.

This F1 talk is ridiculous. Kyle Larson is insanely talented as a driver, but F1 racing is an entirely different ballgame and he has never done anything even remotely close to it. Americans are simply not good at that style of racing.

Greg Zippadelli said today that he doesn’t foresee a change in their driver lineup for next year. It is believed that the contracts for Bowyer and Almirola are up at end of year. He said they are very close to getting one signed and the other is progressing.

dirtcrazy4u

The only reason Almira is there is because he brings a ton of cash with him in sponsorship dollars. I have nothing against the guy but he has done nothing in a cup car. Bowyer isn't that far behind either. Guy has some of the worst luck in cup racing.

Sorry man, I saw the pictures. Let's just say there's is not a longhorn on the track that is anything like the 6 car. RR shock mount was just one of a list of things.

F1 drivers salaries make most NASCAR salaries seem like they need to be standing in a line for a soup kitchen.

He wouldn't do it ??? Right. If hass gave him that phone call he'd be on a plane and testing in a heart beat. Those guys make millions and are treated like God's. He would make more in sponsorship endorsements than he would in salary from a nascrap owner. To compete with F1 you gotta have to be able to hang it all out and qualify. If your car or team can't compete then you mite as well forget it.

No... he wouldn’t do it.... it’s the relocating his family to Europe (since almost all the F1 equipment is housed in Banbury, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom) that would be the deal breaker...
