I couldn't help but think that if this had been a Cup event, people would have been ****ting themselves. I am not an aficionado of what a "great race" is, but IMO that sucked.
A lot of teams run Toyota motors, but they aren't the "factory" team. That's KKM (Keith Kuntz Motorsports) with I think it was 7 cars this year. Larson and Bell used to race for them. KKM didn't have a podium finish in the feature this year and that is unusual. Larson and Bell are privateers.
For sure. I think we can tell that Larson and Bell are going to be real fast in both on the dirt. They run for organizations that will build a custom dirt car and bend all of the rules that they can get away with. I'm excited about it myself if nothing else but Nascar's and the Smith's attempts to provide something different and fun in the racing world. Will we see INDYCars on dirt soon? Years ago they would change to dirt tires and go USAC racing.
I didn't mini mod him either. Rookie posting a dirt midget race in the Nascar section..but hey it's Revman didn't want to run him off. Maybe when he sees all of the yoter motors they use in the series he will become an instant dirt midget fan.I normally don't pay much attention to spelling but I knew we had a rookie Chili Bowl fan when he misspelled the thread name.
I’d imagine theres insurance clauses in the way for some drivers. Bell took a wild ride with 2 to go and I’m positive his insurance company tightened their sphincters.
I guarantee you there is and also with some of the team contracts that the drivers are employed with.
Yep, I like that Mr. H gives them the leeway to still race in other series in their off time. Not every team owner allows that and it will be in the contract.
"they" whoever "they" are pulled Bell last year after a wreck in New Zealand. Larson had two black eyes but he kept after it.
Ummmm? The Ford & Honda are OHC. Unless you are calling the camshaft a pushrod? In that case, LONGER!
When interviewed Hendrick said the same thing to Elliott as he did to Larson. You get hurt we will replace you. Simple enough
I heard through the grapevine that Jimmie Johnson has a fairly open schedule nowadays.
Kyle Larson could win the Chili Bowl Nationals in a minivan.
I disagree, they had his setup dialed in for the closing laps and he gaped them all by a large margin. Bell's desperation moves toward the end of the race were admirable but he was way over his head over driving the car. I don't think Larson's 30 wins in a sprint car last year had anything to do with a racier surface
sucked.really,he only beat 319 cars this week.
Probably a good idea to consider the source. The Rev isn't much of a fan to put it mildly of Larson.sucked.really,he only beat 319 cars this week.
The Chili bowl is one of the top races in the world and Larson said the race was bigger than the Daytona 500 or something like that and it bent the noses of some Nascar fans. I'd say in the U.S. for the big races, It's the Indy 500, the Daytona 500, and the Chili Bowl because they represent three different forms of racing.
I wanna come back to this. Why do we think that drivers have to absolutely name every sponsor they can? It makes the interviews inorganic and forced. Just let them say whatever they want in the moment, it brings out unique personality that is needed so much.
