Richmond is his home track, I guess getting booed at his home track is a better headline...
Right drivers, wrong order.
There is absolutely no proof that your point is correct ......... we can only speculate. I have seen Kyle Busch win many races with a 10th place car .... or a car that couldn't even manage to stay top 10 for the better part of the day.
I could see Larson being fantastic.
No better then Truex.I don't know about Chase, since he has not won a race yet. Harv's pit crew would find ways to screw him over, has that not been established?
How has Jimmie not entered this conversation yet? As jaqua pointed out, the dude honestly has NOT always had the best car, and certainly has among the worst of the cars competing in the round of eight. Can you imagine what he would be doing if he was inside of that 78 car right now?
I don't think I would stick around much longer if 8 wheels becomes the norm for passing.
Chase made multiple CLEAN passes for the lead if you watched the race. I'm not sure what happened in that particular corner but Chase got in a little too deep. I don't think it was intentional to get in quite that deep because it ended up working against him and allowed Hamlin to close to his rear. However, Brad roughed him up pretty good earlier in the race to take the lead from him. You see what you want I guess.
I guess. I didn't see Brad push anyone other than a little back bumper and not going into a corner like Hamlin. Maybe we have different standards for our drivers.
Larson came close to winning races when Ganassi's equipment was sub par. Harvick always outperformed his RCR teammates, and then was the class of the field in 2014 and 2015 when he had good equipment. Chase is the Hendrick car with the most speed and has been screwed out of several wins. Meanwhile Truex was in decent equipment at MWR and DEI and did nothing. I think Truex is a good driver, but Larson, Harvick and Chase are VERY good drivers. Truex's car is just that much better than everyone else's. He makes it look easy.
It’s not the car. It’s the team, it’s chemistry. It’s much more than the car.
Nothing against Chase, but...."The People's Champion"?
Truex is a major part of why his car is better then everyone else right now. Take him out and its not the same. Pearn may not work as well with Johnson or Larson etc..... What Truex and Pearn have is special like Evernham and Gordon, Knaus and Johnson, Nelson and Allison. Its a level of communication thats rare to say the least.
Society wants you apologize when you’ve offended someone.
Some people are too easily wronged.
On the other hand if you don't penalize a driver/team hard enough then this becomes the norm and that is not racing. JR already put their best foot forward to make sure Kyle has the best chance of winning the title. The next step is to use their other cars to help him.
True statement but same results. Chase has all been eliminated and so was Logano a few years back. Both were intentional but to different degrees. 1. to win and 2 retaliation.
Hence the new 5 minute rule.

Eddie Gossage is a jackwagon, never have liked that guy. Remember when he called the drivers sissies for not wanting to race on a dangerous track surface at Texas? Had to eat his words on that one.Even as an Elliott fan, that makes me cringe.
For me the number's just a number. Unless you've got a tat or something.....
Agree you can't officially retire the numbers, but you can unofficially retire the numbers by not using them for a few years.
Yeah that's because the Pats are going to retire the number 12 once Tom Brady decides to retire. No one is asking for HMS to retire their name. I'm not even asking them to try to retire the 24 number, I'm just asking them to change the number for a few years. I hear the 5 and 25 are available next year! haha
