Unfortunately the sponsors control who drives.
To appoint I do. There are cars on track that will always finish worse than 30 however this is no reflection of the drivers ability. The drivers who can never finish do to wrecks caused by their own mistakes have to be evaluated. Just because they raced a speedway doesn't mean they should have a cup licence. New drivers should be on probation and evaluated every 10 races in their first season.Do you agree with Kez?

In the old days if a driver raced foolish and took chances he shouldn't, he was taken behind the hauler and talked to.
I’m not tryin to start anything with Brad fans...
but when he makes a statement like that, it makes ME personally remember all the times I felt like brad has done something silly on the track.
and the bottom line of this is, ALL drivers will make mistakes and errors whether accidental or bad judgment... I just hate when this one guy(Brad) has a strong history of getting on his soapbox and preaching down to the rest of the garage.
I don't know, drivers making mistakes is part of the drama in NASCAR. I do think they need to make a requirement that you have to run full time in Trucks and Xfinity before you can make that jump to the Cup Series. Houff only ran like 10 Xfinity races and only 5 races in ARCA, I think that is silly lol. I know its about sponsors and money, but it crazy how you can jump to Cup without running a full season in the lower ranks.
Wasn't Brad himself so poorly regarded early on that someone deliberately put him in the wall at the season's end at Homestead? I recall it was common knowledge it was coming, to the point that Hamlin asked what lap it was to see if he'd won the pool.it makes ME personally remember all the times I felt like brad has done something silly on the track.

Teams don't normally sign multi-million dollar contracts to players straight out of high school.right....the "X" factor. good post.
But a full season in the lower series? thats not gonna happen...thats like letting a multi million dollar rookie QB sit on the bench when your current QB is throwing 50 ints
Didnt brad take out half the field on a SS not long ago?
That hat comes with a championship; it's tucked into base of the trophy.I don’t recall everyone making him the spokesperson for Cup drivers.
I guess Brad forgets when he was 6 laps down racing the leaders and wrecked a dozen cars.
Brad was on everybody’s sh!t list during that 2014 season.
Side note: I didn't realize Brad was caught up in this incident Sunday.Brad was on everybody’s sh!t list during that 2014 season.
Brad K vs the field in 2014 is one of the the greatest comedic runs in the history of NASCAR.
The year he really started not being a Team Penske fan.The year I really began to like Matt Kenseth.
We will if you’ll measure your own success along side Matt Kenseth’s.So y'all go ahead and criticize Brad in all your wisdom but try measuring your own success along side his.
He looks lie he still does. LOL A lot of people don't remember the struggles he had in the very beginning just from boastful drivers. But he prevailed and now is a Nascar Cup Champion. My all time favorite move was when he split JG and JJ on restart.^appreciate your fandom
I was the same way with DP. I remember a story of Brad couch surfing while driving for JR in his rookie year.
No problem with that, I was a fan of Matt's going back to before cup.We will if you’ll measure your own success along side Matt Kenseth’s.
I think a lot of us feel the same way about Brad. We’re not denying his talent or success, just calling him out on a condescending comment toward another driver. That’s what has brought up some of Brad’s past misjudgments.No problem with that, I was a fan of Matt's going back to before cup.
Matter of fact, up until he pulled that move against Joey I was still a fan.
Now he is just another privileged rich a$$hole to me.
Y'all seem to dislike Kaz quite a bit BUT I admire him for what he has been able to accomplish. Here was a kid who's family went broke trying to race. He replaced his brother driving for Junior and against all odds (because the Cup drivers like Hamlin and Edwards) came down to the xfinity races and purposely wrecked him and got away with it. He lost his ride in cup at HMS (bad decision by Rick) and was lucky to have gotten a ride with the Captain. (I suspect Rick asked him for a favor.) As a reward, Penske went on to win his first Cup Championship and was the only team still driving Dodges.
Brad was able to not only help his parents over come their bankruptcy but also helped his brother try to start a team.
This to me is the story of a desperate young man who became successful but it shows he has very good judgement.
Now for those guys who tried to ruin his career before he got started? Well Edwards packed it in after losing his championship on a final lap with a desperate move. Hamlin has lost 2 championships because he chokes at the moment of success and will probably retire as the second coming of MM.
So y'all go ahead and criticize Brad in all your wisdom but try measuring your own success along side his.
Mine too....then JG acts like he NEVER would have done it. Give me a break.....it's called aggressiveness and JG was as aggressive as they come for the win.He looks lie he still does. LOL A lot of people don't remember the struggles he had in the very beginning just from boastful drivers. But he prevailed and now is a Nascar Cup Champion. My all time favorite move was when he split JG and JJ on restart.
That was just a controversial move, and he didn't win. When it comes to best moves for Brad, I think you gotta look at his defensive moves.He looks lie he still does.
