Matt DiBenedetto appreciation thread
- Thread starter Clutch
- Start date
I put my dog down 2 weeks ago.Dopey Matt D with the pouty face, looking for a hug. Crap.
Dug a grave for him.
Had tears in my eyes as I dug.
Didn't need a hug.
I just cared about him.
Guess I'm a wuss.

Big difference -- grieving for a beloved dog vs feeling sorry for yourself...

Every young Nascar driver goes through a training stage. None of them in my opinion are the real
person. However, regardless of what they say or how they act, they must still perform in the car and I think Matt has done that.

It's almost as if he's a forum poster required to submit his stuff to a moderator before it's allowed to hit the page.

Because the story we have watched unfold right in front of our eyes in the form of a young man outperforming garbage equipment for years before finally getting a bit of an opportunity to achieve more in LFR machinery, only to be shuffled aside within a year, then thankfully find a new competitive ride and potentially be destined for great things is all just plain phony.

Everybody has an image. His is appealing. Winners don't have to work as harden their images.

Why not? They have a side business deal with Penski and they sponsor people in many sports.

It surprises me how often people aren't aware Menards' motorsports involvement isn't limited to sponsoring Paul.

For years the only time I saw the name Menard was at boat races.
They aren't in Canada that I know of.

Majeski has pulled a number of those this year. Plenty more have been where that came from from many in the field this year.

I think Matt's one of the last people that should be saying "I have no idea what was going through their mind"

Matt has said and dumb some questionable (to say the least) stuff over the years but he’s absolutely right here. Even for a third-tier national series the driving standards are about as bad as they’ve been. Guys just making moves that don’t even make sense on a PS5, let alone with real equipment, real livelihoods, and real budgets.

They definitely deserved for being that aggressive early. Majeski made a ******* move.
