Their only bet it would seem.
just ask KFB
What? A jr or Jeff Burton career isn't 2-4 wins per year.
I meant ending up with a win total in the 20s. Jeff had a run there at Roush where he was winning 3-4 a year and a title "contender."
Mine too because I ****** up “their” and “they’re”.
It's working..any chance and you gave me one to point out how dismal both of the gerbils driving records are after I had to listen to them giving road course driving tips all day. I can take only so much of that B.S. Both of their Ego's are out the window IMO. Throw in clueless Rick and the crew chief that can't count and it's a mess.
Yep, you only have to look at the performance difference with Chase and Bowman last year and earlier this year. When Chase had ill handling cars at some races he was at the back of the pack until they got the car better and then he would work is way forward, and when Chase and Bowman both had good cars they were usually leading each other around at the front of the pack. But, now Chase seems to have good cars that he can get good results with and Bowman has had shi-t for performance. I definitely think the car set up is very touchy in todays cars. I have watched Chase and Bowman make mistakes themselves but when they both have good cars and they don't make mistakes they have a darn good chance of winning on any track on the circuit.
I'm shocked that you are saying that as an Eliot fan. I DO think he's overrated, and is a step below guys like Hamlin, Brad, Joey (Denny staying on him with a slower car showcased the small talent gap there), but even I think it's a bit crazy to think Chase will win less than 35 races. Chase is young, he has at least a 40 win career ahead of him, imo.
This is up there for one of your greatest post.
I think the notion that Chase is better behind the wheel than Busch, Harvick, Hamlin, Keselowski, and Joey right NOW is absolutely ridiculous.
That's fair. I guess I'm just trying to be conservative. I hesitate to say that anyone is a guaranteed future Champion given the way the playoffs are set up now. If they hit on the next car and it truly puts more driver back into the equation, look out. If we were in the old points system, then I'd say Chase would be like his dad or a Terry/Bobby Labonte type and get his wins but win a title on consistency. There, I've typed a lot and said nothing.
As you said he is young and that is the one thing that will change at some time and it is hard to know if or how that change will effect him. He is young and hungry now but eventually he will grow up and probably want to get married and have kids and no one knows how soon that will be and if it will effect him or not. I have seen so many different crew guys and race car drivers change dramatically when they get married and even more when they have kids...it can change their whole out look on what they were doing before. I'm not even going to try to guess how many wins he will get...I'm just going to enjoy his racing adventure while it's here. But, I hope he is still racing even if it is in a wheel chair when he is 100 and still racking up wins.
You do realize Denny was hammering that car into every corner trying to close the gap while Chase was trying to be smooth and gap maintain right? Chase even said so in his presser. There was no gap in talent. Well actually there was, Chase smoking everyone all day made it obvious.
It could just be the way the different crew chiefs set them up.
Chad. Can't get wins with his cars now.As you said he is young and that is the one thing that will change at some time and it is hard to know if or how that change will effect him.

I made a comment about that in another thread one time about Chad and Jimmie wasn't getting the same results after Chad got married.
