The real fun is going to be 25 races from now when McDowell is 24th in points but going to the playoffs and either Brad or Joey didn't get a win and had a marginal season and will miss the playoffs by like 3 points.

if someone on brad or joey or whoever's level can't make it past 15th in points they probably don't deserve to be contending for a championship anyway

hell i'd say if you can't make it up to 1st in points you probably don't deserve a championship but what do i know

I think Bubba will be good, especially with the backing he has now, but probably not like a top-tier career. He'll get wins. It's been a rough start to the season but it's only been 5 races, and it's not like he's immediately on a top-flight team when they only just came into existence.

23XI is not top equipment

kidcoelacanth
Sep 23, 2009

Buying your equipment from Gibbs doesn't automatically make you a top flight team. It worked for Furniture Row because they had Cole Pearn and that dude is a wizard, and then they got priced out of the series when JGR jacked up their prices because they were pissed FRR beat them. 23XI scooping up what I assume is Leavine's inventory and getting Gibbs support is a start, but it's still a pricey process and they have to actually build a team around it too.

Again, they're only five races in, and they have more support than any new team in recent memory with an at-worst solid driver. It's a good foundation but it's got to percolate a bit before we can make any real judgement calls on their performace.

Man, sure are a lot of people ready to just dismiss 23XI.

I can't imagine why this would be!

I hope he does, but I'm not sure how you can say with confidence that Bubba will win a race. Right now he's a slight downgrade from Erik Jones at best. He might win a superspeedway race at some point but it's far from certain unless something changes significantly.

i mean it's impossible to say anything with certainty, so it's all conjecture at a certain point. he's a decent driver in good equipment so chances are pretty good he'll get Some Wins. he could also wash out, he could reel off 5 championships. who knows!

tbh jones has already far exceeded what i thought he'd be able to do in the 43

I don't think "the hype" was ever that this was going to be some incredible perfect race, rather that it would be an interesting experiment that would potentially be a loving disaster. It almost was! But it wasn't.

richmond's whole sponsorship deal in the spring is toyota and at-track hospitality for people who have toyotas so they probably held a contest outside the track or something

It was Reddick who tweeted at Trump to gently caress off which really raised his standing in my book

I think Suarez's issue at Gibbs was more that he was unprepared for that role after Edwards' sudden retirement and he hadn't really had the time to cook in Xfinity yet

That was a fun series to watch. I really like the local driver aspect to it. I could do with a little bit less of the Paul Tracy professional wrestling aspect to it but it's not going to stop me from watching it. Like I get it, it's a show they're putting on so put on a show. Bang fenders, rub each other, wreck each other under yellow, whatever you want. But then don't get out of the car and do a wrestling promo. It just seemed like fake nonsense. Like are you really that mad dude? I guess PT maybe really was since he's kind of a nut but come on, just have fun with it.

that's SRX. we're talking xfinity
