Bonehead of the Week: Atlanta

I'd say Larson if his spotter actually called low before the wreck, and didnt blame himself (which he did)

Hocevar for wrecking Bell when there was no hole.
 
At some point, Hocevar is going to eat the wall or take a fist in the face to wake him up. My God, he doesn't even listen to The Felon. That move on Bell was complete horse****.
 

I won't call Carson a name, but I will say that this statement is something that might come from an idiot or a jerk or both.
 


...and Hocevar said that he would push Bell, and they would settle it amongst themselves. Jerk-like behavior IMO....again, not calling him a name--labeling the behavior.
 


Chuckles about screwing Bell's day. You pick the word, so I don't have to violate TOU for name calling.

He said that about Bubba, not Bell

My two cents...

He is a beast in terms of driving, he has some incredible unteachable skills in terms of speed. He also does the idiotic stuff that the competition hates. He will eventually have to tone down his wreckless side to survive.

The obvious test in my opinion will be about how well he manages those two conflicts. If he polishes up the mistakes while keeping the natural born skills and speed he will become a generational talent and it will be great for nascar. The people will respond and come out to love or hate.

At something like 23 years old I think he is just fighting the young mans internal war. He has some wisdom and a lot of primitive impulses. There are still a lot of things he wants to learn himself, but that they are just to far away from him to hear at this stage in his life. He is the current theater and living the battle that keeps us monday morning experts in business.

I hope that he isn't just another slow burn that fizzles out. I hope he gets it together in time, it would be great thing to watch for the show and for racing in general. The big characters, the movers and skakers, they drive the stories and interests that helps things to naturally $ale.

Fair take. The question is whether or not enough humility enters the chat before his script is written. This is where Dickerson et al.--and yeah, Gabehart--can be an asset if they can get him to figure it out. Otherwise, we are looking at a guy who is going to continue to be blackballed even by his own manufacturer teammates. His interviews are probably more important than his driving. He comes off like a flippant ass....a flippant ass with as many wins as another flippant ass that runs for MY manufacturer. I am really tired of the generational talent assessment honestly, but I will say this, Hocevar was the straw that stirred the drink. His move on Bell was garbage, but Bell knew he was there, and frankly, Bubba was intimidated into his move. Just too many Toyotas to overcome with his crap--and I love that because it hasn't always been that way.
