This is going to get real interesting. What big name(s) that we think of as shoe-ins will be on the outside looking in?
I’m convinced Smithfield is the only reason Aric is driving for SHR.
Yep, he sure did...Larson is doing what he does best and that is win... But another bad end results for Bowman from no fault of his own. I don't have any doubt things will turn around... but I hope it is pretty soon. Byron is doing pretty good so far, and Chase will be fine he just needs to relax a little and not push so hard. He caused an accident in the clash, then he spun out in the Daytona road course, and then lost it due to some turbulence today. But, overall HMS is looking pretty strong right now.
This. It makes me extra salty that they threw the “stinking up the show” caution then for a rainbow and let it play out the last two weeks. If they were consistent, HMS is 3 for 4 and we’re talking rule changes behind the scenes.
Jimmie and Jeff, Vol. 2, only it's Chase and Kyle! Yes!
But with only a fraction of the money and popularity of the driver he replaced.
The hivemind has spoken. It's best to not resist.
That’s pretty crazy Chase is already top 5 in wins at HMS and 2 away from top 3. Just goes to show how high Jeff and then Jimmie set the bar there.
That's going to be hard, if not impossible, to beat.
Chase has proven that his team can win on any type of track and to be clutch when needed.
Mum's the word from SHR, Childers or Harvick.
Harvick and Childers can only hold the mantle for so long, someone is going to eventually have to step up.Mum's the word from SHR, Childers or Harvick.
that sounds like THEY have lost a step
Childers said on the DJD that he'd maybe like to CC for Blaney down the road. Maybe once Harv walks away they try and reel him over to SHR once Penske inevitably gives his seat to Cindric in a couple years lol.
The gap is nuts. Holy crap.
It gave me apprehension about what this team could do outside of them. Rick was lucky to have the two modern era GOATS, without them, they're no better than Roush.
I agree with everything you are saying. As far as Larson...no one is saying he is number 1 at HMS and he may never be. I just said it wouldn't surprise me if he was sometime in the future. The reason I said that is because he is in very good equipment now and we have seen how close he came to winning so many times in lesser equipment. I was talking about years down the road but who really knows if Larson or Chase will even still be there years down the road. But it is good to see other Chase fans come to his defense. I doubt either one of them even gives it a second thought.
I actually think they have a budding friendship which is good. Chase had that with Jimmie but didn't have it with Byron and Bowman for whatever reason. They seemed to have talked a lot over the offseason, especially about the dirt racing stuff. Chase really likes it and they have a common bond over that now. We might have us a Shake n' Bake duo on our hands.I agree with everything you are saying. As far as Larson...no one is saying he is number 1 at HMS and he may never be.

I always thought Larson would kill it at HMS, the top Chevy team. It's only 1 win and not even 1/4 of the way through his first season there but hes been competitive in every race thus far. I have great optimism that he is going to do well however long his career is at Rick's.
I'm just really so fascinated as to what the future of this organization will look like.
