My wife is a casual at best, and she said he looks like a "c.ocky ass" during his post race interview and for what it's worth, was absolutely gobbling up the drama of the last 10 minutes of the race despite fighting off a pretty bad head cold.
I think both of you have really great points here and honestly I think they're both entirely true. I don't know if I would consider Carson a generational talent but I think he has the talent to win a boatload of races and compete for championships.
He's not even bratty c.ocky like a young KB, who was winning races, btw. He's just... a smug frat bro. He's like that dude who gets pulled over by the cops and has a smirk on his face. Or mocks his professor to keeps him after class because he's f.ucking up.
I'll say this. I hope he wins soon. And I hope his second win takes just as long. The drama and hatred this kid creates is a blast. Unlike Ross, who's villainy was more subtle and reigned in, Carson seems like a genuine a**hole of a kid on the track.
Makes for great racing entertainment. Get this kid in a top quality ride. Let him win himself into full heel.
I think a lot of our "villains" recently either leaned into it (Denny), or were "awe shucks" about it (Ross). Carson acts like a genuine a**hole on the track and in the garage who does not give a damn.
It would be fun to have a villain who is a villain ONLY because he's a c.ocky *******. LOL
