The 21 is the most interesting part of silly season to me right now. Who gets a seat in the Penske pipeline next. I don't see them retaining Harrison either.

Do Racing Forums next.

I feel the same way. Even Ford as a whole has Zane Smith and that's basically it as far as realistic Cup prospects right now. This move positions Haley in the Ford pipeline kind of like how John Hunter went down a rung to get in the TRD fold. Yes RWR is a weird step down at face value, but like...

I don't think there's a 0% chance of RCR taking a big swing. They're also running Brodie for Indy so they have their money where their mouth is for trying to also bring in a Supercars talent. Austin is the one who approached Kyle Busch and facilitated his signing to the 8, which shows that he...

I just don't see SVG making this type of a change to settle for a relatively back-marker team.

MY GM Performance powered Chevy. :jamming:

Heck yes, can't wait to have him fulltime. Hope he lands a solid ride where he's able to showcase his talent. Bold prediction: Austin Dillon hangs up the steering wheel for an RCR front office position. SVG takes over the 3.

Agreed, and I view this Indy race now as being basically a test for him to see if he would really be happy here. I could definitely see them putting him in at Martinsville or something later this season to give him a broader picture of what being a Cup driver is like, evaluate how he does, and...

Correction: Gen Z. Millennials are old now.

I was thinking about that too, I would love to see him in the 21. That car is too historic to be forgotten about every week. Seeing that car get an exciting international driver of this caliber would be great to see.

I think either Trackhouse abandons Project 91 as a rotating cast of international drivers and turns it into a full-time operation (and then in a couple years revists a part-time fourth car to continue what they're doing now, because I don't see Marks ending that for good), or 23XI nabs him...

Hahaha, Goodyear about to collaborate with Klein Tools on some insulated rubber for next season for the true all-weather solution.

What are you his agent or something?

Don't take it so personal and serious. We're just bench racing here.

So NASCAR themselves is supposed to fund the driving careers of like 90% of people that want to race but don't have the money to climb the ladder all the way up? That's impossible. Unfortunately what you've described has basically already happened (with a few exceptions that are mostly all...

I agree with @AndyMarquisLive that CARS would be fantastic for her. The thing is, I believe her camp is in a tough position because if she drops "down" a rung between truck races and she gets totally destroyed over and over again in a late model, then her stock will fall and any dream of an...

She would get eaten alive in Xfinity. The talent pool in Trucks right now is not that deep. The talent pool in Xfinity is significant deeper, with Hill, John Hunter, Custer, even Riley, Sheldon Creed, Hemric and so on. It's a far gap from Cup, but way better than Trucks. She isn't going to learn...

If a different tire meant that seat time with that tire was completely invaluable to building skills, then people would just start straight in the Cup Series I guess... Think about racecraft. That's what it's about. More reps racing around other cars, threading with a field, making decisions...

I believe the point here is that understanding the car underneath you helps to make driving style adjustments because you can better tune your wheel and pedal inputs to the dynamics of the car. Larson is one of the few that just has an unreal amount of raw talent and feel without needing to...

They're already knocking on the door of becoming a tier 1 team I'd say. Multiple wins, wins with different cars/drivers, runner up in title fight last season, have one of the most popular and polarizing drivers in the sport, and now that have one of the most prestigious corporate sponsors in the...
