2022 NASCAR THREAD

Dunno, but they got me awhile back. I'm guessing someone gets butt hurt over it. Good to have you back. I know the critter bullshit thread is happy.

 

Probably just someone who does not even watch NASCAR who stops by the thread and wants to go full Karen. I can't imagine any of the regulars in this thread doing anything. Anyone who reports anything on a forum is a complete tool really.

 

We should start a conversation next season with just the regulars so we can all say whatever we want and see what people are really about. LOL...

 

That's not the case now?

 

just kidding. Welcome back Sir.

 

Man, I don't even know if I have a top driver anymore. I feel like Blaney is held back at Penske but I don't know where he could go and get more resources. Reddick will be my Toyota driver pick next year (never rooted for a Yoder guy), and Chastain is likely my Chevy guy.

 

I'm pretty sure, if there is a 22 fan in here, they probably wouldn't admit to it. Lol

 

Diehard Blaney fan here, I really don't know if YRB is being held back at Penske. I don't know where he could realistically go that would be better. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener.

 

The issue I see for Blaney is not being held back by equipment. He is in great equipment the issue is his teammates. You have AC in the 2 who is really the silver spoon kid in the sport but somehow fly's under the radar with that but his dad is also the head of competition at Penske. So Ryan get no help or love from AC or the 2 team. Then you have the 22, that has become the flagship car though in # it has always been the #2. The #12 was always the development car for the most part and sliced bread is and has always been all about himself. A driver whos way was paid for by daddy all the way to the top and has probably torn up more equipment on the way than anyone in history. So you have Blaney who is a gentlemen racer and really close with Chase, Kyle L and Bubba but is bookended at Penske by complete entitled dickheads who are never going to assist him in anyway.

 

Yeah, he doesn't fit the Penske mold but Rusty Wallace was also shoehorned into that mold. He was such a great fit on multiple levels with Wood Brothers and I think they really could've run away with the branding possibilities there. I understand that's a Penske farm team, but still. I was honestly disheartened when he was moved to the #12 from the #21. Joey and Austin seem like polar opposites to Blaney as far as personality. Blaney is still a throwback to guys like Terry Labonte, Ricky Rudd (minus the temper), David Pearson and Cale Yarborough (intensely competitive but cordial). I think that's what I like about him.

 

I agree. I really like Blaney, had he been in an HMS or RCR car I probably would have gravitated more towards him than Chase. I just can't pull for Penske or a ford but will admit I am never disappointed when I see Ryan do well.
