Nationwide race @ Darlington

Somebody refresh my memory but wasnt Daytona the worst race Chase has had this year?
 
Kyle Larson is looking at the media in confusion thinking "but... guys I'm over here!"

Where do people get this garbage? He drives against the best every week in cup and hasn't quit.

The point was that Kyle is getting spanked by the rookies and might want to reconsider running NW now that he actually has competition.
 
Its not really bangwagonning if you become a fan now where he's spanking new to the sport.

Personally I like this kid but I'm not a super fan by any means. I still like Larson way more.

So saying he's getting beat by rookies is "rubbish" now?

You Kyle fans need to take it easy. Its not like we're making it up. Guy is getting owned on the series he used as shooting practice.

Same here. It's just kinda annoying cuz I've been a fan of his and followed him in late models but people like winners so I shouldn't be surprised. I agree though, people need to cool their jets. Larson is better
 
super race ! # 9's future is on fast forward ! specially if this continues.
way faster than papa bill / rick ever figured .

kk better get on a roll....or.................................
 
Ok guys...just to define what a "bandwagon" is...this is fans that follow whoever is winning...two years ago they might have been a Kez fan, than suddenly, last year they were back to being a JJ fan...etc...

There is a difference in this and a rookie building a fan base. I have been a Gordon fan since I was 12 years old.....but I am liking some of these rookies as well....you can like more than one driver...gasp!

He lost because of a caution. I remember the whining when Gordon lost the same way at California, but I don't remember people saying he was outdriven

Lol and you're a Gordon fan :rolleyes:. And you described what a bandwagon is lol

Yeah, I'm a Gordon fan. Been since before I can remember and really don't even remember how or when I became one. If I was a bandwagoner id have jumped on the JJ train when Gordon was slipping. But no, I really consider JJ a rival. And a starting to root for a talented driver is bandwagoning? Oh
Ok :confused:

Did you like him when he ran late models and trucks?

Isn't that the case with most drivers that should've won but didn't?

Anyway, have a nice night all, gone for the evening but will come back tomorrow fully charged. Gordon wins.

I don't have the time to follow late model racing. Trucks? Well that 1 win on a road course where he wiped out Dillion was impressive. Ironic he took out the 3 on the last lap for a win when Earnhardt did that all the time. The kid is impressive but I'm pulling for Larson

You sound like those hipster kids that say "I followed this band waaaayyyy before they got signed and sold out. Now they are mainstream. I can't like them anymore because they're mainstream."

C'mon bro a fan is a fan.
 
I like Larson a lot but Chase Elliott is my guy. They both nearly wrecked racing each other tonight and it was very exciting to see a great battle. I love Darlington racing.

Um...no. Montoya sucked in a stock car. Many other open wheel drivers before him have been unable to successfully manage the transition. Juan's name gets added to the aforementioned list.

And there's probably another one gonna be added to that list shortly too!

I actually questioned my loyalty at one point in this race... I came to the conclusion I was just turning into one of them weird Carl Edwards/KyBu or Harvick/Johnson fans..

By the end though I was kinda bummed that Elliott has statistically schooled Kyle Larson in Nationwide.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a fan of both. I've never been this excited about a rookie coming up, both of them.

My ranking, if nothing else because of age, screw it I'm still working on an excuse:
Larson
Elliott

I'm not bandwagonning. I'm auditioning. LOL. As a mid-20's 24 fan, I'm new to this.
 
It was a great race and it's really good to be a NASCAR fan and see the fast, fresh drivers come up and show that they're capable of winning races but I'm not going to sit back and be ok with stupid posts about Kyle being finished in the Nationwide Series because some fresh, young talent have won a couple races. Kyle Busch has 65 Nationwide wins. He's far from his last win in the Nationwide Series. I do cheer for the Elliott and Larson, because they seem to be the only new drivers in the Nationwide Series that really have the ability to run with Kyle and the other Cup drivers.
In another thread we argued whether Jimmie was the best driver or not. Best current Cup driver with the best team? Arguably so. Best driver, not so much. Jimmie is fast in a Cup car with Chad Knauss as the crew chief; period. Jimmie isn't so fast in other cars without his Cup team. Trucks, no. Nationwide, no. Many posters here think that it's a cakewalk to win a Nationwide race and many question Kyle Busch's ability to drive. If you take into consideration the ability to competitively drive different cars that require different techniques to go fast, then Kyle is currently the best in NASCAR across the three series.
If you simply want to talk about Cup, then Jimmie, Chad and the HMS team are the ones to beat.
That doesn't mean that Kyle's accomplishments in NASCAR are any less impressive or meaningful than what Jimmie has accomplished. To me, it means that JJ is a one dimensional driver with a great Cup team.
If you consider what it means to be a great driver, then you have to consider the skill necessary to win, no matter what you're driving.
If you look at the big picture of what it means to be a great driver, then you can easily recognize that Tony Stewart (2011, 2005, 2002 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion,1997 Indy Racing League Champion,1995 USAC Triple Crown Champion,1994 USAC National Midget Series Champion, 2006 IROC champion, 2005, 2007 Brickyard 400 Winner, 2009 Sprint All-Star Race winner, 2001, 2002, 2007 Budweiser Shootout Winner, 2006, 2008, 2009 Prelude to the Dream Winner, 2005, 2007, 2012 Gatorade Duel Winner, 2000 Turkey Night Grand Prix Winner, 2002, 2007 Chili Bowl Winner) is a far more accomplished driver than is Jimmie Johnson.
Granted, I recognize that this is a NASCAR forum, but I also recognize the necessary talent needed to accomplish what Kyle Busch has accomplished in NASCAR.
It pisses me off when people downplay talents that they themselves lack.
