Kyle Larson is too boring for whothefuckever replaced Jeff Gluck at USA Today:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...dway/407610001/

I remember when Jimmie Johnson was the one catching grief for being "too boring". And boring driver personalities are far down on a very long list of problems the sport has.

I think boring drivers are near the top of the list of NASCAR problems. Kyle B moves the needle, Kyle L doesnt.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here. I'd a whole lot rather have nice-but-boring drivers than assholes (Seriously, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson are boring af). Secondly, the boring racing at boring tracks that people can't be bothered to go to or watch on TV is orders of magnitude worse for the sport than boring drivers.

I'm glad Jr's retiring because he'll be free to speak his mind about the sport and that's going to be something to see. Wish Smoke would do that, but he's a team owner.

The first time I recall hearing the F word (the slur) was my dad talking about Richmond.

I really think that Kulwicki's legacy benefited greatly from his death. It seems to me that he was a real prick but you can't speak ill of the dead.

It's bad enough that they actually race in the lower series, but most of the drivers affected by this ruling are polarizing at best and hated at worst. I automatically want to do things because Kyle Busch hates them. Can't help it.

No one would want *insert star pitcher for the Minnesota Twins :laugh:* to go pitch for the indy league St. Paul Saints.

Go race sprints dudes. If your teams only exist because of you racing then let them die.

I get it. You're a fan of a no talent driver, that wouldn't even have a ride if not for his dad. You hate KB, because he turned Jr. At Richmond like a decade ago. At the end of the day, Jr. can't hold KB's post race diaper, and will end his career a never has been.

I was merely correcting your spelling. But you get on with your bad self, I'm not sure we've had a troll willing to pretend they're dead inside enough to support KyBu, much less an actual fan, so this should be fun. :allears:

I love the idea that people hate Kyle Busch because of one thing he did to Junior that I don't even remember, not because he is universally a piece of poo poo person.

And that he is ruining NASCAR at its three top levels. Arguably only Brian France is doing more to kill the sport.

Yup. As I've said before, I have no problem with cup drivers running races at say, Eldora or Road America. Cup doesn't visit either location so by all means, do it. I think part of KyBu's problem is his boss may not let him. If we do take Kyle's word of him having a 500 ride lined up but Joe Gibbs said gently caress no, it stands to reason he's blocking other efforts by Kyle.

So then, it just goes back to the fact that he's a whiny brat.

How many other series is Larson running now that he has a full time cup ride

The only IMSA thing he runs is the 24 hours of Daytona which is off season.

I was thinking of the Indy 500, because that's the biggest IndyCar marquee race, but considering that it's on the same day as the Coke 600, and that in the last 25 years, that double dip has been successfully pulled off like 8 times successfully really doesn't help your argument.

Perhaps the better word would have been "races" rather than "series". Or perhaps the phrase "in a different series" or "in a non-Indy, non-NASCAR series"

Anyway, precision of language discussion aside, Larson has raced in a number of sprint car races and won several. Please see:
