Silly Season 2024

Losing Zane is not good for Ford as a whole. He's really talented. That said, there will be plenty of candidates for the #10, lots of young talent in xFinity. I like Chandler Smith.

No love for Matt Tifft’s mother?

Worth a cool billion almost... Whew.

Man, Justin Marks is slowly becoming one of the best owners in the sport.

Oh geez Riley Herbst is gonna go in the 10 isn't he.

Chase Briscoe, who has proven he’s a serviceable driver but not exactly an elite talent, won a ton of races in that 98. Herbst got in it and it hasn’t won a race in any of the past 3 years. That would be a step down from Almirola who is also serviceable but not elite. Ford is killing its teams by letting the great drivers walk or refusing to hire them (Larson) and pushing mediocre drivers.

Let's be honest I don't think they had a shot to land Larson anyway. If the rumors were true he was basically a lock at HMS prior to his suspension. Rick and Jeff helped behind the scenes to get him reinstated.

Knowing BJ, I hope he puts more resources into his Xfinity program.

Okay, I've read it three times. What do you see misspelled?

I guess it's me. I had to actually expand the tweet to get it big enough to tell that the k indeed wasn't an h

Crappy font.

I’m surprised it didn’t catch on fire.

I can agree it's not an easy font to read, and the spacing between the words could be wider. There's also the use of the third person to refer to the team in the first paragraph ("they", "their", switching to first person in the second ("we", "our").

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Trackhouse with the win. I think Zane is a young driver with loads of talent, is he going to be in a fourth car at Trackhouse for 25 or is Mi Amigo’s seat warming up? Ford’s hope for young Cup Ready talent rests with Chandler Smith, losing Zane is a loss.

 

[cheesepuffs]

Two sponsor’s dreams on the same Xfinity team.

Isn't Kaulig still mostly self-funded through Kaulig Companies anyway?

It is.

They still won’t hire Gragson and Matt Spaghetti.

 

[Formerjackman]

Suddenly I like Spire's Cup driver lineup more than Kaulig's. Didn't really see THAT coming.

 

[cheesepuffs]

If Zane goes to Trackhouse and Ford fumbles away yet another standout talent then goodness gracious...

Welp.

 

[MRM]

Still waiting to see if a Cup team is going to put Carson Hocevar in a car next year.

Be silly not to. He’s run great so far.

 

[AlTerego]

Hocevar has done more with the car in a few races than Gragson did for over half a season. I hope he gets a shot with a decent team.

 

[kkfan91]

Matt Weaver is a guest on DBC and he seems to think Gragson is going to Kaulig though he didn't say Cup or Xfinity

Would actually make sense. That place is known for second chances

He said Chris Rice would understand Noah's personality that some other teams may not.

 

[StandOnIt]

Gragson got after it and got his requirements finished. Surprising if he has an opportunity at Kaulig.

 

[StandOnIt]

Interesting

It isn't that serious...

This is the kind of stuff why I left here before....way too much effort in meaningless opinionated post.

Let us know if you find a NASCAR forum where this isn't the case. This place is a better source of information than most. All are going to have some degree of 'signal noise'.

Hailie Deegan to the 10!!! (I wouldn't mind it as long as she brings sponsors).

Why? She's never came close to winning a truck race.

 

[Big John Kordic]

As a life long Redsk….WFT….Commode fan, I’m all too familiar with winning “off” seasons.

Hope it goes better for them than it did Lil Danny during his reign of terror.

I think she's better than what the stats show. Deegan did well in her only Xfinity start, which tells me that Trucks don't really suit her.

Because one start is enough to base an opinion on? Seriously, one start tells you absolutely nothing.

It's just speculation on my part. I'd like to see her go full time in xfinity.

Deegan needs two seasons in Xfinity before we think about this conversation.

 

[OldTimer]

If Eric Almirola sticks it out one more year, do not be surprised to see Ty Majeski in a few cup races for SHR. That is of course if John Tyson is willing to pony up the $$$.

Look man, Reddit was convinced SVG was the second coming of Richard Petty after Chicago. People jump to wild ass conclusions from small sample sizes.

 

[Hawaii808]

Speculation is that DiBenedetto got benched to bring in Gragson.
Oh your crazy truckers!
