    5 wins is making your own luck.

    Exactly,, so far he's this years Martin Truex, but he has done this before, best driver out there right now including Busch

    I just meant for the race itself yesterday. Larson had it won until caution came out.

    I realize I may be coming off bitter, it's just frustrating, cuz he's been winning at the end a few times this year, but something always happens to ruin it. At least my dude finally got a playoff point I guess.

    Can't watch the Truck series or the Xfinity series with this idiot winning every race in the lesser series, it's like the Yankees facing a little league team and beating them 47-0, boring for the fans and unfair to the drivers from those series. They are ruining the sport, big deal if he wins he has the fastest car and he brings his Mencs pit crew with him

    They made a rule where they can only run so many races during the "regular season," but no races in the "playoffs."

    I know but they shouldn't run any, they effect the Championship in each series

    I agree. I was watching the pre show for the truck race learning about all the young, new people, then left to get stuff done, went to nascar.com later on thinking Kyle probably ended up winning, yep sure enough.

    Getting old.

    Can't believe Nascar condones this he's racing against kids with superior equipment and his own pit crew from MENCS Series, like Lebron playing one on one with my 3 month old grandson, ridiculous. ..I can't even watch Racehub because they have to talk about this boredom....except for Shannon Spake!

    It's not as bad as the qualifying mess. I'm so sick to death over it. Single car qualifying was always fun to watch for me, but now they've ruined it for the sake of "entertainment."

    That new race car driver Ricky Bobby from Bama is really good.

    I was wondering how long we'd be waiting to see Larson take a title, much less time than I expected. He's going to be one of the greats.

    Hendrick has effectively replaced Johnson/Gordon

    I started rooting for Larson after Kenseth was forced out several years ago. I was pretty bummed when he got banned by Nascar and dumped by Ganasasi, but I totally get why it had to be done. I had a feeling he would come back strong with Hendricks and he had one of the best seasons in Nascar history. He's a phenomenal talent and I'm really happy for him.

    He's been my favorite driver since he was in exfinity and when he was suspended I was devastated.

    I literally cried tonight.

    I'm watching qualifying for the Clash that is scheduled for today. I recorded it last night. They built a 1/4 mile track inside of the LA Coliseum. I've never seen a track this small. The race will feature a reduced field of 24 cars but it will still be super tight. Lap speeds are in the 60's and times are in the 14 second range. Should be an interesting race later today (6 pm EST.)

    Sounds like an advertisement in that post lol

    Yeah qualifying was pretty cool. I'm looking forward to the heat races.

    He's ok.

    I didn't realize how old this thread actually is. Quoting someone 12 years later is hilarious.

    I like the look of the new cars. Hopefully they race well.
