Was it impressive Larson getting the win today, you bet, but I will be more impressed if he can do that in Cup, I still feel that is was brought up way to early to Cup

I am happy that a driver not named Kyle and Busch did not win the race

This is the first year Ive even seen it in the NNS.. So that leads me to believe it was built especially for Kyle Larson to get experience in which case Im not surprised whatsoever that it is up to par with Gibbs, Penske and JRM/Hendrick.. because they probably have the same engine in the 42 that Harvick did in the 5.

I still don't see the fuss.. jeez the kid wins one nationwide race and he's the greatest of all time? :rolleyes: He's good but come on... he needs to prove more than that guys. Im not saying I don't he will prove himself.. but he hasn't yet IMO but that was damn sure a step in the right direction.

Jealous much?

Don't worry. Your precious little Joey will win again in NNS soon. :)

He's not the greatest of all time, but how he won that race is extremely impressive.

Thanks again to @Nitro Dude for hooking me up with tickets. What a race. My driver held off KyBu.. Magical. Cannot wait for tomorrow.

Somewhere in the potato-image is the future.

No problem, it was nice meeting you and you're brother and i hope you guys have fun tomorrow. That was an awesome race...definitely the best one i have seen in a long time. I hope tomorrows race is as good as todays.:)

Absolutely. You never see a Kyle Busch fan complain about him gettting beat by great racing ....ever.

:rolleyes: Heard a ton of it after Watkins Glen in 2012. Heard a ton of it after the All star race where he wrecked himself behind Denny. Heard even more after Carl beat him at Bristol. Those are just a few examples.
 
I think Kyle Larson gets a pass on the "Cup driver in Nationwide" argument because he's so new to the Cup Series, and he's driving somewhat lesser equipment in NW than the usual Cup invaders. Impressive win today by a very talented young man.

Thats a fact, no complaining from my corner on this one :)

Nobody is complaining too much but sliced sounds awful bitter.
Let's let the boy enjoy his accomplishment.
To sliced: I like joey but not Dillon. Maybe they both have better stats than Larson but, Larson is better than both of em. Maybe combined!
:einstein:
 
Just got to see the end of the race online...that was REAL impressive. I understand it is just one race, but when is the last time you seen a kid that young out duel the "big dogs", in lesser equipment even, in a major series? I stand by what I said before, he is gonna be the real deal.
 
My favorite part is when KyBu almost had him beat on the crossover and Larson just blew by him on the outside using the high line momentum. That takes some serious wheel control & some serious balls. Get this kid in a top tier cup car & let the chains loose. Can't wait.

Like many have said in the thread, it is only a matter of time until he ends up in a HMS ride. Gordon is a HUGE fan of the kid (haven't heard him say things about an up and comer, the way he does Larson, since JJ...and that worked out well)...he said in an interview that he did everything he could to try to get Larson at HMS...but as others have pointed out, there just isn't a ride open. We know that JJ, Gordon and Jr. are all locked at HMS for as long as they want to be....Kahne better drive the wheels off of it, or he will get "Larson'd" lol

I can see Larson running a HMS backed car in a few years, just like Keselowski ran for JRM for a while.

So can I , and I see it the car being the #5, I dont think Kasey is going to be at HMS very much longer

He's winning multiple races a year... much more than Jr can say. If Hendrick wanted results instead of money he'd throw his cash cow out for Larson. But, that's not so good for PR.
 
That last 20 laps was the best racing I've seen in my entire life. Amazing stuff. I'm soooo bummed I didn't DVR it.

While I agree, but his last name is not Earnhardt, I think the smart money is Larson taking over the for Gordon when he retires
 
I wonder how Larson is going anywhere, he signed for 8 years I believe, that means about 6 years left

I hope you guys bought your tickets for tomorrow...they said on the tv that they have sold out tomorrows race. There sure was a lot of motorhomes there also. That's awesome for Nascar.

As much as fans out in CA may not have liked it, I think cutting Auto Club to just one Cup date a year has helped.
