    Why? I'm the only one of you here that watches his videos or thought he'd be competitive!

    Taylor Gray got suspended as what, a 15 year old for driving one handed while recording on a cell phone in practice at Daytona? Either he's a mutant or it ain't tough at Daytona. Cleetus at Bristol is gonna be an eye opener for him and anyone who thinks what he's done is transmissible. Feel...

    This series is actually available for free to watch on YouTube for us nonBrazilians; it ain't half bad either.

    Both of them showed up to fill the field when that was needed. How does a former Daytona 500 winner get to the stage of not being able to hold the helmet bag of a guy with literally zero sanctioned circuit racing experience? I was assured that Cleetus couldn't hang with he draft 4 months ago in...

    Happy to see the 69k with big sponsors but also kinda love the classic colors.

    Costs a lot of money for not much back. There's a mile long list of rich kids trying to get a guaranteed ride in Cup and only 36 seats. When the opportunity arises we get a DJ Carrington or 60+ Derrick Cope to show up and go 55mph on the apron.

    In sports cars, they all run three seconds off the pace behind the pro they pay to carry them on their back. Historically Cup cars were actually difficult to drive and yeah, you don't have that.

    Look, NASCAR is never doing anything. I know that. We all know that. The closest they ever came to doing something was renaming restrictor plates as tapered spacers. Having talentless failsons be competitive at the biggest races on the calendar is entirely what they want; encourages lots of em...

    Drop the banks, reduce down force, increase horsepower, all to make cars lift in the turns instead of having them run 4 abreast wide open saving gas lap after lap.

    I absolutely remember all the times total novice gentleman drivers managed to keep up and run with the best professionals in the world.

    I think Tom Cruise could have easily kept the draft had he been permitted to race. I mean, everyone here should agree. He's driven fast cars. I guess it's a super power now to own a Corvette.

    He has the same qualifications as Jerry Seinfeld and Richard Hammond to do this. That doesn't mean either is talented either. It just means they have sufficient income to play with expensive toys. Which is sort of my point: anyone can do this. Anyone. It just takes money. The more a celeb with...

    Here's the last time we had this talk. I'll take one and say I was wrong: you can keep up with the draft on 7 cylinders. https://racing-forums.com/threads/california-speedway-demo-rebuild.75825/page-8

    In so much as he's driven all sorts of cars because he's rich, yeah. Does that mean Doug DeMuro should be competitive in ARCA? I mean, I 100% believe WhistlinDiesel could do just fine at a plate track. I dunno about you.

    Okay, well, it basically just happened twice.

    Does Cletus getting top 15 reignite discussion on plate tracks?

    Well, I guess if he runs a Cup race we'll find out. No idea what would be different other than finding a pusher. Obviously he can keep up with the draft.

    He bought a ride. He knows Biffle from flying Helene relief flights which is how he even got to this point. Jr is involved largely because Garrett's gimmick (and is profoundly that as he is on camera on Jr's podcast talking about how he doesn't watch NASCAR) involves a ton of semi ironic "Praise...

    Does Cletus getting top 15 reignite discussion on plate tracks?

    There aren't any similarities other than they both involve cars. Front grip is non-existent. You don't turn. At the speeds a pro mod travels, he's largely a passenger with little to do other than hope the tune is good and the rear tires bite. Hell, braking and shifting are entirely different...

    If he can do it, what really make you think that you're incapable? All you lack is millions in discretionary spending. Dude did this as a meme and realized he actually could do it because there's no real challenge keeping the car under him. It's wild because it seems like people confuse him with...

    His success proves what I said on here about it months ago; doesn't require much in terms of talent to perform at plate tracks. No amount of iRacing or Crown Vic races should be sufficient for 190mph drafting in real life if it's really that challenging.
