Cup RACE thread --- Charlotte

[StandOnIt]

Kyle Larson, made it through on shear determination.

The wall helped

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

What’s wrong with going up to JJ after the race instead of using his car as a weapon? That’s the problem I had with it

It’s in the moment, sh!t happens. emotions run high when you taken out in the last corner

 

[FLRacingFan]

Something tells me NASCAR is going to have a good listen to it. They can't be happy seeing that type of situation play out for an elimination spot.

Knowing Chip's tactics in open wheel and sports cars it wouldn't surprise me if there were shenanigans going on there. Not claiming there are for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Could certainly just be that Jeffrey Earnhardt kinda sucks though.

Sometimes you need help to point you in the right direction.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Something went on there with the 96. I'm sure NASCAR will do their research.

 

[oldschoolnascardude1]

But Jeffrey just stopped. It makes no sense.

Also, curious as to what minimum speed is and how many laps you have to meet that minimum speed.

 

[SeventyGTX]

who cares if he bails or any of them for that matter, there are plenty that would love the seats.

I think a lot of people would care, its a joy to watch what he can do with a racecar.

Hard to believe, Hemric turned him

 

[LJ7201]

Also im wondering if the 42 car made minimum speed

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I get all that. It still won’t change my thinking it’s a bitch move. Did he even go up to talk to JJ at the end of the race?

 

[DUN24]

Almost witnessed several fights in the stands at the end... damn

Over what?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hard to believe, Hemric turned him

Got it. Haven't seen a replay besides the one from Larson's car.

 

[StandOnIt]

I think he would be hard to time between the wall hits and all

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I think a lot of people would care, its a joy to watch what he can do with a racecar.

But it’s not like he’d stop driving a race car, he’d just be doing it on dirt

 

[Racer1930]

I understand the 42 had to get by the 96 for the point he needed. Good move.

I'm just stunned the #42 made it around the track a couple times times - that car was a mess. I especially liked the crew guy hitting the hood with a sledge hammer - advanced aero engineering

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah Hemric turned him in the last chicane, Larson wasn't that far behind that. couple of three seconds maybe

Maybe the Chipster offered Jeffrey a Rolex 24 ride if he just stopped in the chicane?

 

[DUN24]

Funny they were going on and on about Clint..smh

The 12, 14, and 88 were staring at elimination and all pitted while just focusing on each other and ended up with top 5's. Pretty badass that their own race put them that high up in the finishing order, even though the carnage helped.

 

[tclarson]

Yada yada. Most overrated driver in the series right now.

No doubt the talent is there. But the dude hasn’t won a race in over a year.

You make it sound like he’s in a HMS, JGR or SHR car. The CGR stuff is good but be real, the are out resourced and aren’t as good as them.

 

[SeventyGTX]

I was referring to Cup. Everyone knows dirt is his passion and he can't get enough of it.

It's funny how his cars are often good enough until crunch time...

Has anyone been watching this year? Its been known that the Chevy has been a turd in a half, yeah Larson has had moments where he has fvcked up. No doubt, but Larson with Elloitt have been carrying the Chevy banner.

Overrated my ass. Dillon won on a plate track and Elloitt on a road course. Outside of that, I mean where else have they seriously competed? Cmon now.

well some of think it is pretty ridiculous to come up with that B.S. rumor in the first place

Nascar "research"...how much is in that envelope?"

 

[SeventyGTX]

You make it sound like he’s in a HMS, JGR or SHR car. The CGR stuff is good but be real, the are out resourced and aren’t as good as them.

And he's still generally the fastest Chevy every week.

Sledgineering is the word you be looking for.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

With so many cars on the lead lap, a late race caution could really switch things up if there's a wreck.

Winner.

 

[DUN24]

He's God's gift to racing, just ask him.

He actually is.

ya see what overrated and underrated does

Ugh... You are truly annoying sometimes.

I’d personally rather see him do that mixed with a little Indy Car for CGR.

I agree Larson is far from overrated.

He plowed into JJ and tore his car up.

I guess there is bitterness when the GOAT/driver who kicked your ass for years races you hard.

Ask Larson. He knows all about it

I could say Larson was a big factor in that wreck, with his aggressive driving style all day long and the car he had, Kez knew if he wasn't on his game Larson was going to get by on the restart, KDB was licking his chops also looking to exploit the leavings.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Over what?

I was in a section of Wurth employees wearing the same Keselowski shirt and a group of MTJ fans behind me. Tensions were high after Brad’s boo-boo, then the end was icing on the cake.

 

[JBone88]

Here comes the army of Larson apologists. I’m not saying he’s overrated from a talent standpoint. He’s as good as anyone who’s come into this sport from that standpoint.

This notion that NASCAR would fold over losing a driver with 5 wins, none in a calendar year, is what makes him overrated. Christopher Bell is just as good as him. If Kyle goes dirt racing, plug Bell in there and nobody misses a beat.

The sport will survive.

I agree with all of that, but the B.S. of Larson leaving in the first place is B.S. He has said some things that chapped the hams of Nascar fans, which is the truth from his standpoint. He has said Nascar's are easier to drive and less fun, but lately he has backed off of that a bit. So what.

 

[FearThe4]

Something went on there with the 96. I'm sure NASCAR will do their research.

if its proved the 96 stayed there cause he got payed off by Chip then Larsen should be kicked out of the chase and Jimmie in cause they did the samething to Truex years ago when it was proved Bowyer was ordered by his team to spin out and cause a yellow.

 

[DaBiff1618]

NASCAR is going to lose Larson if this keeps up.

He has 5 wins. I think the sport would survive



Objective analysis is now hating. Pretty sure most of the guys posting “hate” are fans of his lol. Is funny though how this board loves Larson but hates on guys like MTJ and Kyle Busch regardless of scenario
