Its only 5 races. If they stick to that and she continues to race trucks...maybe it will work. I dunno.
I hear that. I think it is a matter of how much money she had available and what team wanted take the chance to make a buck.. It's obviously a bought ride, I can't see it being anything else looking at the competitive standpoint. They are probably hoping she rides around and doesn't hit anything and they make more that way. They probably don't have much in the equipment also, Ryan Sieg's old cars, they are a low buck family team and they are switching over to Ford this year.
She brings sponsorship and that is more important than experience
She’s not ready. Nowhere close. But she brings money.
But not many of them have been successful. I don't wish her ill, but I don't see this as helping her development.
A prime example equity not being the same as equality.
At least until the composite bodies arrive. If she can hold on until then...
The level in Xfinity really isn't that high. Decker won't be any worse than in the truck series.
Xfinity has been using composite bodies since late 2017.
I get the analogy but Decker isn't the first one to enjoy the powers of being more marketable than others with more talent.
I don't get the analogy myself. It's a matter of a sponsor for the money they spend getting the best bang for the bucks spent and a racing organization taking advantage of the opportunity. Nobody does that in foobah or stick and ball sports in general. They fall all over themselves at the college level paying for all sorts of under the table money and "gifts" for a player they think will win them games. And books can be written about all that.
Sorry, brain fart. You're undeniably correct. I was thinking of Cup.
I've seen first string players at bowl-series schools fall flat on their faces in the NFL. Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel leapt to mind. You can be a mediocre ride-buyer and have a longer career than those two combined.
Why am I thinking about Bobby Labonte and Front Row Joe?
They'll be a while finding someone close to Patrick, unfortunately.
We will see soon. High hopes for the #1 Ford driver in the trucks. I've seen #4 and #17 on the sides also
Do you mean the last person to beat DE for a championship in 2000 Bobby Labonte?
no, the Bobbie Labonte that had 16 more years in the cup series after 2000, didn't win a race in 13 years straight. I call that a long career of mediocrity. I like Labonte, but it is what it is. Front row Joe has done the same thing. Is still racing occasionally, and more power to him for doing so.
Right on. I get what you're saying. I just think Trickle or Pressley or LaJoie the elder or Atwood......................... would be a better example.
Decker couldn't glue on Trickle's lug nuts, or Randy LaJoie's, for that matter. Atwood wishes he belonged in the same paragraph with Trickle.Right on. I get what you're saying. I just think Trickle or Pressley or LaJoie the elder or Atwood......................... would be a better example.
I bet she could out bikini em though
Fun Fact: They all have the same number of cup wins.
I’m not sure I like the sound of that, Charles.
There are other forms and series of stock car racing besides Cup.
Just following along the Tebow and Johnny Football analogy.
