defends? lol..Because no one defends them. Everyone knows Harrison Burton has been a bum at Wood Brothers, and Zane Smith is underperforming so far and everyone agrees. There has to be 2 sides to have an argument.

Yeah, like you do for Deegan. You know, the only reason this thread has so many pages.defends? lol..
total nonsense. You know it and I know it.Yeah, like you do for Deegan. You know, the only reason this thread has so many pages.
Documentation, please.Probably because Harry and Zane have hairy legs.
Started out 33rd. I'm wondering if the new crew chief had anything to do with it.Practice 1 at Sonoma -18th. Not bad out of 39.
Maybe. Car was good and she figured out a good rhythm. Now to getStarted out 33rd. I'm wondering if the new crew chief had anything to do with it.
More mechanical gremlins. 2 weeks worth.Maybe. Car was good and she figured out a good rhythm. Now to get
a good quali and survive lap 1 of the race. Be happy with a top 20.
Or watched the “video” …Should have read the description.
some times you just have to read the find print, just sayingI'm new to this thread, but all I see with her is someone who took a 15th place car and consistently runs in the 30s with it.
Waste of a seat in my opinion.
Waste one race. Listen to her scanner. They are constantly telling her to not use the throttle like an on/off switch and to wait longer before picking it up in corner. She's NOT lacking aggression if charging the corner & standing on the loud pedal = aggression. Just can't seem to figure-out how to try different things. Constantly says car is plowing tight but can't understand if you jump on the throttle too soon/too hard, whole turn is screwed. Then gets snappy loose on exit cause got too much wheel in it.She has done nothing this year to make me feel optimistic about her future. But if she brings more women into the sport and somehow that gets more promising young female drivers a spot then it’s something. But she does not seem to be walking the walk to backup her volume of social media babble at this point. I’d be delighted if she was being competitive but so far…nope.
That being said I always admired how Danica showed she had fire in her belly. I’m not sure I see anything like that from HD and it’s disappointing.
What do you see in her road course record that indicates she'd do well in a series dedicated to that style of track?Honestly, I think the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge is where she needs to be, in a Ford Mustang.
She learned to race in off-road trucks. What works on dirt doesn't transfer to pavement. Some can make the transition. It's obvious she, like Danica before, doesn't have the ability to learn a new style. Yanking the throttle open isn't the fast way on pavement. She needs to spend day with Jeff Burton or somebody like that riding along, listening & learning. Remember the Dale Jr story about the one time his dad helped him learn a track? Told him, I want you to lift at flag stand, don't touch throttle till just past middle of corner. Dale Jr was like...suuuure, then tried it. Couple seconds lap faster. Frequently slower corner entry is faster lap time. She just complains about it pushes front end. Maybe it does?Honestly, I think the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge is where she needs to be, in a Ford Mustang.
It was either this year or last year at Daytona during the MPC race sheWhat do you see in her road course record that indicates she'd do well in a series dedicated to that style of track?
I think part of it is the team/Ford. If they would have lost SHR's 2 cars, they pretty much had no real contenders in Xfinity.I was hoping to see her improve when she switched to Xfinity, but she definitely hasn’t done that and I’m not going to hold my breath until she does because it may never happen. But as long as she is out there trying and not giving up I’m ok with her being in a Xfinity car because trying to learn and become a better driver is what that series is for. But she definitely doesn’t belong in a Cup car unless something drastically changes in her on track performance.
Wonder how cast iron her contract is? Maybe an out for the team @ x/y/z months/performance level? The car ain't the problem.
Yes I was expecting a win in her first NASCAR street race similar to SVG. That sucks she can’t do it now to no fault of her own. We know it was coming.Bummer! This was going to be the race that Deegan came to life.
If he only finishes 15th I would argue it is partly the equipment’s fault. Logano should be well inside the top 10 in any competitive Xfinity car.Going to learn a lot with J-Lo's performance.
If he squeezes out a top 12 - 15 . it might not
bode well for HD. Cant wait to listen to the radio
and compare their complaints.
Smart move. I think Deegan and Lagano’s talent are about the same, but Joey has been involved with the Xfinity scene and vibe a lot longer.
He will simply be more at home, and more at one with the culture, it will be more intrinsics all the way to his essence like he is in his own backyard.
I know everyone was of the mind that the culture was going to be better for Deegan this year. Obviously the bad parts of the Truck series contaminated her previously higher levels of sophistication.
I am just afraid of the wild possibility and unlikely scenario that Joey will have a better race than Hailee usually has and that the unlearnt and untrained eyes will not be able to appreciate that it all is just a matter of culture and so forth.
Otherwise it will probably be a great reset for Hailee and a great learning opportunity for Lagano as well.
Oh!he is miles above her.
She has a ride for now because of sponsorship
