What's next now that Kyle Larson is reinstated to NASCAR?

[WisWildManFan]

Since you all asked. I don't think that Kyle will ever win big if it's all gonna be about momentum, drag and going slow. I personally think that he would not be too great in a Crate dirt late model not like he is in over motored stuff anyways. Had Kyle showed up in Cup when Jimmie Johnson did, or Tony Stewart did the story of his cup career would have been vastly different. Personally I feel like he's his generation's Jack Hewitt. I would have to say that anybody that can win 2 WoO sprint car races, the Hoosier Hundred and a Lucas oil late model race in a single week has a pretty good claim to that very lofty praise. I would like to see him in an Indycar it suits him better than the current cup cars. While we're at it, I'd like to see Scott Dixon try some dirt racing.Anyways the development lanes for NASCAR drivers are LMSC (no power) Pro Late Model (no power) Asphalt Super Late model (we'd call their motor rules limited late model). The guys that are spending the money to "develop" drivers and more importantly bringing along sponsors or making money doing the same need this to be the rules package. Dirt drivers with natural talent can't keep coming in there and busting their azzes and it's been going on ever since Jeff Gordon showed up. Am I a Kyle Larson apologist? Maybe but I have never really seen that 42 car win very much going way, way back. Look at Kenseth's results in it.

Reminds me a lot of when Nicky Hayden laid it on the motogp boys because of his ability to control tire spin that he learned from his dirt background. They took the ponies away and he never really was as good.

MastersBuilt, boyer has retired. He was at the end of his contract and had a contract extended to him. Far less than his current salary.

That's how you fire people without firing them.

These guys that are making the huge dollars won't be wonce there current contracts run there course. Those top 5 listed above, 3 drive for Gibbs. Penske's driver line up is probably up there also. Childress has his grandkids, or did, driving for him. Roush has nobody. Hendricks has cut back on drivers salaries, JJ is going to try his hand in Indy. Why isn't he going for another championship. Contract, that's why. Ganassi, that team also runs on a limited budget.

How fun can it be to run around a mile and a half flat footed on the gas

There is definitely going to have to be a market correction of some sort. Revenue is way down. It is still going to be the easiest money they can make.

Hustling a car with no power is a unique skill set, tell ya right now they’d all be chasing Mark Martin with this rule package. Except for maybe Kyle Busch who’s incredible at it too admittedly he had a down year. If Larson wants to race dirt and develop into a cup championship caliber stock car driver he should be hitting the big crate late model shows. His feel gives him 50 extra horsepower in a car with pedal. That’s not the game on Sunday right now.

That is very true about Nicky Hayden

That is very true about Nicky Hayden

He and Rossi made Moto GP worth watching. Remember watching him race AMA Super bike here in the U.S. What happen to him in Italy was pure tragedy

I was at VIR for the AMA race when Nicky danced on stage 👍. Marc Marquez is also certainly worth the price of admission.

is the 88 car going back to #5

That and the fact that Jimmie has Larson like throttle control powers. He said himself he wants to race cars that have way too much motor. He hasn’t won in a couple years either. If a guy that accomplished has the IndyCar itch, go for it.

[Rajflyboy]

Larson needs to give up the dirt late model thang . CIRF. It wasn’t meant to be.
