2023 NASCAR THREAD!!!

I recall Michael Waltrip saying similar when he signed David Reutimann, and referring to him as “The Franchise,” and future of MWR.

 

Was he wrong though?

 

What you are missing in this comparison is the difference in caliber of the persons making the statements.
The thoughts of a mediocre fool don’t carry the weight of a proven champion. One with a long history of success in both business and sport. Across several series, Indy, NASCAR, NHRA, Sprint/all things dirt.

It’s the 1 car…. All irrelevant

 

I liked him myself... Being a FL boy and all.

I think if he went to a more competitive team... He would have been something.

 

Anyone watching the SRX racing on ESPN tonight. First heat race halfway over at the moment.

 

Just tuned in….

 

That was Crazy when the Hood came off of Tony K's car.

 

I watched the whole rain shortened race. One thing I took from it is that Hallie Deegan is just NOT good, period. I'm not sure how much longer she'll last in the Craftsman Truck series. With her team winning and even other drivers in her truck doing well, she just needs to go figure something else out.

SRX has some great drivers, some older Indy and Cup drivers but she looked out of place there too. She's signed to run in SRX I believe through 2024. May be setting herself up for an exit from NASCAR.

 

She fared much better in her Xfinity debut. I agree with her that drivers are a lot more respectful in Xfinity than in the trucks. She gets caught in a lot of incidents that are no fault of her own. That being said, if she was further up in the field, she'd avoid most of those incidents.

 

They want Hallie to be good because she is pretty and has that Danica appeal. Unfortunately she lacks talent. She has not even been average with daddies money and factory dollars behind her. She needs to exit this phase and start an onlyfans!

 

I will try to get some more pics up this weekend.

 

Headed for initial tech inspection.
I can tell who has issues getting through tech by how many times they push a car by me.

 

Wet track package with the mud flaps and led tail lights above the diffuser. All have the wiper on also.
They will run the wet track tire on the wet track but anything rain stronger than a mist they won't run.

 

Still remember Busch running P1 and being taken out by rain. Hopefully the wet weather package will prevent that for someone.
