How Many Drivers Retire in 2022?

[Blaze]

Yeah, Cole is safe as long as his dad is SHR President.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Love him or hate him, if Kyle Busch retires, NASCAR will lose half their fan base.

Lots of drivers retire and numbers don’t ever drop by half. Doubt it happens with Kyle Busch.

Yeah that's a shame. If Custer can blame equipment then what's the excuse for Briscoe? And even Harvick winless as he is has been up near the front most races.

That didn't happen with Jeff Gordon or Jr, and they had more fans than Kyle Busch could think of.

I don’t understand how Cole can spank the field at California Speedway in Xfinity and look like a 15th place driver in Cup the past year or so.

He could be running conservatively in cup and didn't give a care in Xfinity

That’s possible but he had a good top 10 car at COTA and got screwed. Doesn’t have much luck like some of the other drivers.

I think it has to do with the law of averages. Custer doesn't run in the top 10 and even when a driver does that consistently, there will be more failures than successes. A driver has to stay in a winning position quite a bit in order to get a decent finish, it can't be hit or miss. Bottom line for me is that Custer isn't getting any better. The 14 car with Briscoe in the seat is.

Kurt might. I hope not but I'm preparing.

Not enough of a sample size for me after 10 races when 3 of the 10 are 510 HP races.

I'm going by this, he was better in 20 than he is now.

15 laps led in 85 races? With SHR? Yikes.

 

[cheesepuffs]

Still think that Preece will end up in the 10.

Zero chance of this happening. He doesn't bring any money and the 10 ride is a pay seat.

Also, Custer is never going anywhere. His father is the president of SHR.

Depth of talent is unbelievably better across the Cup field compared to Xfinity

That’s why I said 15th in Cup, not 1st

Really? I think there's a 90% chance Preece ends up in the 10. Why else would he sign that deal with SHR when they found out Almirola was leaving?

Because he had literally nothing else going on besides modifieds.

Then how are you not understanding how this can happen?

 

[Spotter22]

Because Cup is 15 times harder.

Sherry’s cancer returned so maybe Truex wants to spend more time with her.

 

[racingfan7]

Then how are you not understanding how this can happen?

He’s not finishing 15th every week in Cup. Every time he runs the Xfinity Series he runs better in Cup, that was my point.

That Preece kid sure is stinking it up in practice in a RWR car.
