Let’s not forget pickups used to be actual work vehicles. For any car with high end tech, you had to get the sedan. Now these trucks are absolutely loaded up. Also gas is pretty cheap, it’s at a similar level to where it was in 2005 by dollar! Think about that, the CPI is 65% higher than it was...
Obviously folks aren’t driving NA V8’s with a cam in block and sequential gearbox to work everyday. Overall though they’ve done a good job resembling the street versions in my opinion
I’d say overall Larson isn’t getting the respect he should. That car was clearly off on the back half of the year, how he won a title is incredible. The results from New Hampshire on with what I’d say was the worst car of the four is unbelievable
He was down by 11 coming into the race. With the blown tire Larson would have won on points. People can’t be upset about this, the points leader won the title
He’s champ! Omg Larson did it! Haha I can’t believe he’s NASCAR champion! Elite driving with two tires there.
I think something was wrong with Denny, tire pressures may have been off. He really struggled off corner exit there in 3 & 4
