Hendrick has made room before. So would many other team owners. I doubt they would turn Bell down if he came knocking.
Apparently he was ready to give up dirt racing if Rick Hendrick wanted it.
Larson and Brad Sweet, another multiple dirt series champion started the racing series, paying with larger purses than normal, held during the week, not weekends..The more you know.
This? lol, he already is one of the greatest drivers of all times. That comes from the other greats in the racing fraternity. That comes from Mario, Tony and A.J. among others. You will figure out one of these days that you are already watching one of the greatest drivers to hold the wheel. It doesn't take being just a Nascar fan, Larson can jump in anything and win the race. He won in a dirt late model last year I believe it was the first or second time he drove one.
Who is at the top of the points in Nascar in the championship round of 4 lol, you were out of gas a long time ago. lol.
Excuse me man, I got something in my eye lol.
You never did answer, Who is at the top of the points (who cares now) and in the championship 4? lol
I'd love to see Bell at HMS, you and I have talked about it before but I think he's a hell of a talent. One of the top 5 currently in NASCAR imo. I just dont know who Rick gets rid of....wrong choice of words......moves to make room to get Bell. You mentioned SHR earlier, I dont know. They're not fast right now. Seeing Bell at Roush would be very very intriguing. But, thats if he leaves the Preacher, which I would find very very surprising
What does average finish pay? Do you have a figure? You do realize you have nothing but an opinion on this focus B.S.You mean the guy who is 9th in average finish among full time drivers?
He's a talented driver but he'd be a GOAT level talent if he focused full time on stock cars. Larson will have an accomplished career and probably win multiple championships but there is an element of unfulfilled potential.
Jeff Gordon was salivating over Larson back in 2014. He's the best in the biz right now imo ,but I agree in a way with Naitch that sometimes Kyle overdrives and makes a mistake at the end of races but it is what it is. He has won more than enough to make up for that imo, and he's still young in NASCAR years maybe he will figure out how to not wreck or make a mistake when going for it but I'll tell ya from my perspective that's half the fun of why I cheer for him.
exactly
And if it is like last year Larson brushed the wall twice at Homestead. The gerbs go into convulsions every time, but Larson does it quite often trying to get all he can out of the car.
I agree. But yet, he'll have races like this past Sunday (and the Southern 500) where he executes flawlessly and closes out these races.
You're missing a clear point. Larson dividing his attention is not a bad thing, it isn't a character flaw, or a driving flaw. His divided focus, in his opinion, is the difference between 2-3 titles and 50 wins, and 4-5 titles and 75+ wins. He's referencing his cup career exclusively.
See I wouldn't go as far as "lack of dedication". I think the dedication is there. I think he just just brings a lot of instincts behind the wheel from open wheel dirt racing to cup racing, and races dirt too often to unlearn those instincts.
He's the best in the series. There's little doubt. The point is that he'd be performing even better in cup than he already is if he focused exclusively on that. This doesn't mean he isn't an all time great talent lol
Serious question: do you think Larson loves NASCAR? Because I don't think he does. I feel pretty confident his primary interest in NASCAR is the money. I do, however, think Larson loves racing dirt.
Now, you are the one that said Larson was thru, finished kaput right? lol. Larson has already, won the High Limit Sprint car title this year, and he IS in the final 4 race in Nascar, now what now about this clear point/opinion you have? It sounds like more ring around the B.S. to me.
I think he enjoys it. He's said Phoenix was the biggest win of his racing career. He's said the southern 500 was in his top 5.
I think he's a professional and he's good at it, but I also think he wasn't lying about how he dreamt more about winning the Chili Bowl than he did the Daytona 500.
The clear point is...while ALREADY being arguably the most talented driver in the world, he may be performing even better if he focused exclusively on cup.
Everyone should be happy because they get to watch one of the greatest talents in the history of American motorsports race 50-60 times a year in everything from a micro to an Indycar.
Agreed. I'd rather see him do this than be forced to pick one or the other.
