Are you saying he got more fans from saying the n word? That kind of thinking might make sense to racists, white supremacists and other half wits, but it didn't fly with mainstream corporations and racing fans. They dropped him like a hot potato. Larson make a turnaround, got some education, made his peace and moved on.
If you had any proof of that other than your opinion it might mean something.
Correlation isn't causation.
Yep, two of the last three years in the final four, and would have been three of three if the ****** Chevys hadn't pulled their bull****. Coach has totally screwed him.
Never have seen you as a grouch. One of my favs here.....Not so much a grouch as just BRUTALLY honest. I'm not nearly as grumpy as I appear to be in a one dimensional medium like social media. If we were having this conversation in person, we'd probably both be laughing, even if you disagree with me.
I really don't think he is, he has hardly any more personality than Chase which they all complain about, but an added smugness and entitledness that's super annoying, his fans also work against him hard.
Two examples of the same thing. Few of us here have any idea how drivers or forum members are in the 'real world'.
Personality doesn't make someone likeable or not for me, as far as the other stuff idk I don't keep up with him enough to know. So maybe you're right.
Yeah like me lol. I know I can come off as an a**hole here, but that's just because I'm a very opinionated person. Plus I treat people how they treat me. But I'm a pretty good chill dude if we're just talking and hanging out.
But one can always get a pretty good idea of a drivers personality by die cast sales. T-shirt sales? now that is another matter all together.
Here's my deal with Larson. The guy literally lost everything after what happened in 2020. I might be mistaken but he was in the process of building a new home. Him and his family had to sell out and turned to short track racing to make a living. Fortunately for me 2020 was the best opportunity I ever had to attend short track races. I watched Kyle and his wife working his souvenir trailer just like any other middle of the road hard core dirt track racer. He was there hanging t-shirts on the rack for sale. He was available to anyone who wanted to talk. He gained my respect by not being bitter but focusing on what he could do to improve life for his family and himself. You could see how he changed over the course of 2020. That year I watched him race a sprint car in ways I had never seen, including watching Kinser in his heydays. At times recently I am seeing a bit of arrogance in his interviews and that doesn't make me more of a fan.
I’m late to this and apologies for that but if I may, do you think you might he a tad oversimplifying this? I’m sure some racist people jumped on board when he came back, I’m not disputing that. But….I think Larson joining then most popular team with the blessing and recruitment from one of the most popular drivers ever and then going out to have one of the most dominant seasons ever has a lot to do with his surging popularity.
