I don't disagree with you, but let's look at his stats for perspective. He's 4th in points right now. Like his dad, he's backed off a bit after proving himself by winning the championship. Now, driving a race car is simply a job that supports his hobbies, including golf, skiing, and flying, just like his dad. He had the best average finish of all drivers last season. He finished 7th in points. Here are his points finishes for each full-time cup year:

2016- 10
2017- 5
2018- 6
2019- 10
2020- 1
2021- 4
2022- 4
2023- 17* (injury & suspension totaling 7 races)
2024- 7
2025- Currently 4th

It took him three full-time seasons to find his first victory. Since then, here are his annual win totals. Of his 9 full-time seasons, 1/3 of them were winless years.

2018- 3
2019- 3
2020- 5
2021- 2
2022- 5
2023- 0* (injury & suspension totaling 7 races)
2024- 1
2025- /

2025 stats thus far:
Total points races: 13

Top 5- 3
Top 10- 7
Top 15- 10
Top 20- 13

All he needs is the momentum of a win, which is tough racing against teammates Byron & Larson, then JGR's Hamlin and Bell.

I completely agree. Driving is a job to him not as much as passion. He is very much like his father. Overall my point was just Fuck Em though! you know... LOL, I should be used to it, being a JR fan for all the years he raced. Oh well, apparently I just do not like to win.

I think a lot of the "older" drivers struggle with the new car and how much you have to take advantage of your momentum and drive aggressively. I can't tell you how many times I see guys like Elliott or Busch have a big run but back off the gas and don't take advantage which ruins their momentum for a good lap or more. It was meant to level the playing field but we're already back to the big 3 teams dominating again.

I agree. You have drivers who do not wreck a lot of cars and pride themselves on taking care of equipment and consistency. This car does not lend itself to that and the format does not reward that. The guys like the 5, 24, 20, 71 and such who wreck from the lead are the ones who get what it takes out of this car to be successful. Hero or zero mentality. As much as I dislike the guy probably the best veteran in this car is Denny. He seems to know when he has a car he can push and when he does not. And is very disciplined to maximize what he can do with it.
