Imagine the Pearson greatness if he ran every race.
He'd have a LOT more wins, but his win percentage wouldn't be as high, I'd bank on that, and THAT was what we were talking about, not total wins.
I don't quite know what to say to this. Basically you are saying NASCAR is fixed, and if you think it IS, then why waste one second watching it or even thinking about it? If you believe Johnson's wins are manufactured, then please tell us why NASCAR would have ANY interest in propping his numbers up, a guy that has NEVER moved the needle for NASCAR fans. As I said in a earlier post, why Johnson and not Gordon? Or Dale Jr? That would have done NASCAR a LOT more good. You could make the case that Johnson's success drove fans AWAY, not to the sport.
You don't have to convince me about Brian France, I wouldn't hire the guy to scrub toilets, but that doesn't really have much to do with the subject at hand.
I agree, you CAN'T truly compare eras, but that works BOTH ways. You can't just say that Johnson wouldn't have matched up to Pearson in the 60's and 70's, and then say with certainty that Pearson would have beat Johnson in this era. As for Jeff Gordon, of whom I am a commited fan, the truth is that heads up, Johnson beat Gordon's a** like a drum.
I expect this to be a huge momentum boost for them to finish out the next 6 races and I think he's a threat this week at Pocono.
Not sure if you were listening to the radio but it was interesting. Chase didn't really complain about his car the entire race. He said his balance was fine and he didn't feel like it changed much at all if any, he just felt like those guys around him got better. That's why Alan didn't make any adjustments on it all day. Probably would've only hurt it. So all things considered, they had a damn good car to be able to stay in the top 5 with no adjustments on a changing track.
Yep. From what I heard a piece of tape on the grill and tire pressure adjustments is all that was changed.
SHR, did see the writing on the wall, and they said as much. They knew that Chevrolet was backing off from their factory support and SHR made that change.
Larson could be carrying the car, but only to an extent. JJ has talent, but not in the capacity that the announcers in the booth give him.
Ok, find evidence that supports the contrary.
I don’t care for the big three winning 70% of them either, it’s boring.
It’s called adapting to the car. If JJ couldn’t adapt, even a little bit, he was junk. JG was biased, he owns the 48. We will see what happens when chad leaves the team.
I’d be willing to bet that you put the top 20 drivers in identical cars, JJ would be middle of the pack, at best.
Your grotesquely biased opinion of Mr. Johnson's skill-set is noted.
Also a KK reference to next year at about 22 minutes, something along the lines of... expecting LFR to continue getting better in the remaining part of this year and continuing on into next year.
Dunning-Kruger Effect ...
if you are KK you are not going to sign a longer term deal than 1 year. a better ride might come available. you never know whats going to happen and what could open up. Its interesting he said that even last year larson was the only one that could make the chevy run. he said the camaro was a disappointment but he also alluded to there being problems last year too. That is true. it may not be all the fault of the car.
A unfortunate hot take.
You are incredibly misinformed.
If I were you I wouldn't look at IROC results from 2003 or 2004
Funny. They can't even get in line correctly on a Superspeedway, let alone this.
of course childress wants that. They are an underfunded team to gets way less for sponsorships than HMS does. They lost their full freight deal with menard. Roush wants the same deal. I mean why woudn't you? you get to tap into another teams R&D that spends way more than you are able to. Its like getting to be the well funded team without having to spend the same money. childress would be foolish not to want that. These alliances are only worth it to the extent that all partners bring something to the table. The one I think that is a better fit for HMS is ganassi. They do the engines for them already. I think chip builds their own cars though.
LOL. Well done, Aunty. I had to Google that one, but it seems to fit the present circumstance...
