2024 NASCAR THREAD

I think it’s shit car that’s making him struggle

 

Let’s not kid ourselves. KB is one of the best all out drivers to ever sit in a seat. Dude has over 200 wins across the top 3 series. He is driving ultra aggressive currently because the cars are shit. All he cares about right now is continuing that win streak. He could care less if every week the cars wadded up. It’s that or win and RC is one owner who will put up with that from the right driver.

How would y'all grade each team's performance this year?

I feel like Trackhouse came in with a lot of heat but have stagnated. Perhaps they grew to big too fast. Getting that MotoGP team and other stuff was a bit much. Outside the Atlanta race, they don't have many highlights.

• Penske B
• RCR C-
• SHR F
• Hendrick A
• RFK B+
• Spire C
• JGR A
• Kaulig D-
• WBR D-
• 23XI B
• FRR B-
• LMC D-
• JTG D+
• RWR D

 

I would grade RCR DNF-

 

No, No, No and Hell No!!!!

 

I believe Dillon stated he has a couple of years left on his contract so I'd be surprised if he retired.

 

I spent so many years hating the 48. I'd be so conflicted.

My wife used to call him the taco truck

 

Jet dryers beware.

I bumped into him at the Indy import a few years ago. It was the day after the 500. I couldn’t believe how short he was. His teenage daughters were taller than him.

 

He's not short, he's average

 

Remember when

Wow I haven’t seen that angle. I thought it was insane before. I didn’t realize how much faster he went. Zoomed out on normal tv it looked faster but holy hell he was fucken flying.

Gonna be interesting to see the wear on these two different tires after practice.
