I thought at least 2 drivers would win, I was flabbergasted when we had 3

Daytona 500 we had probaly

Eric Estepp June 23, 2023 at 6:40 pm

He’d been close to winning the Daytona 500 a couple of times. Wouldn’t have guessed he’d win at Charlotte though haha.

If Ty Gibbs was driving for Legacy.. he’d be in bad shape too. Can’t blame Legacy’s problems on Noah

Kyle Larson would be in bad shape if he was driving for Legacy

Any driver with a brand new team will take a while to Grove together

Tristate_Urbanmining June 23, 2023 at 9:07 pm

with the issues Legacy has had this year, mechanical and otherwise I don’t think even a championship caliber driver would do that well.

That’s not that true ty is overall a better driver

@ZaxCal your probably right, but Larson did get Chip Ganassi in victory lane when they were a struggling team!

I kinda feel bad for Gragson. He was going to have a rough rookie year regardless, moving to the Cup after winning for a month straight in Xfinity. There were going to be people disappointed with his performance no matter what. Kid could have a 9 win season and someone would still complain that he didn’t get ten. Instead, he gets a lame duck rookie season with LMC, coming in as they’re making a bunch of huge changes and even swapping manufacturers. He’s going to have a tough climb ahead of him to pull his reputation out of the hole that was dug for him.

My pops predicted this early last year. He hates Gragson so he’s happy his prediction is correct. These young xfinity drivers get too hyped up and just wanna get to cup anyway they can and it’s the same song and dance they don’t get picked up by a top team so they settle then majority of the time there xfinity success gets left behind with multiple terrible cup seasons before you know it there gone entirely or stuck in xfinity or trucks for good

@Jwrailv&eWell the thing was was that last year they could compete, especially with that #43. This year however, not quite.

TeaJay June 24, 2023 at 7:27 am

​@jwrailve3615 well, Noah had 4 (maybe 3 I don’t remember) years I’m xfinity which is a lot more than most drivers now. Byron was a one and done guy lol

DB RD June 23, 2023 at 6:26 pm

Noah Gragson should be a trackhouse driver. That’s the personality team and he’s got the personality for it at least

Reply
Cow Mann June 23, 2023 at 7:48 pm

give him that #99 car

Reply
CastandBlast June 23, 2023 at 8:59 pm

Yup get rid of Suarez for Gragson

Reply
Oval Head June 24, 2023 at 3:11 pm

Good luck getting Suarez out of the #99. Pit bull only agreed to co-own the team bc he’s Mexican

Reply
CastandBlast June 24, 2023 at 3:14 pm

@Oval Head yup that’s the problem.

With Allmendinger being the only driver in the Cup Series that’s raced on a Street Course. I think Allmendinger is the favorite to win the Chicago Street Course

Eric Estepp June 23, 2023 at 6:41 pm

One to watch!

Riley June 23, 2023 at 7:51 pm

I had Erik Jones making the playoffs and my favorite driver Alex Bowman becoming the top dog at Hendrick and a major championship threat this year.

Jacobmx June 23, 2023 at 7:53 pm

One of the videos that I look forward to is this one right here so thank you Eric for doing this every year

Ryan Webb June 23, 2023 at 7:57 pm

Allmendinger – A couple points I would like to make to still give hope to his possible playoff chance. 1st he has definitely been improving over a very slow start. Also if you look back at last year which was so strong for him he had 8 top 10 runs, but 7 of those top 10s came after July 1st. He definitely preformed much better later in the season. and as mentioned His strongest road courses are still to come.

I predicted Kyle Busch would struggle moving out of JGR equipment to RCR. Man was I wrong.

David De Ment June 24, 2023 at 12:33 am

With what we saw at the end of the season last year, AJ had 7 straight top 10’s (in races he ran in), so thinking he would point his way in wasn’t that bad of a prediction. It’s not nearly as extreme as Legacy, but Kaulig has taken a considerable step down in performance as well.

For me I thought Reddick would have done better in the 45 or at least on point to what he done in 2022 yes he is 13th in points but he did finish 14 last year so he on par with that. I thought he have a couple wins by now but there is still time plus 2 of his wins last year came on roads courses so there are still 3 to get at least one. Plus he can always repeat at Texas as he did last year

I predicted that Keselowski gets his first win at RFK. He was really close at Atlanta and was always at the front for the first quarter of the season

Reply
Monsterous Eggman June 24, 2023 at 2:31 am

Definitely going to be watching 23Xi with Bubba getting ever so closer to winning before the playoffs and Reddick getting the team some good runs sharpening the teams skills for the playoffs

Question for you, with Carson running pretty good in each of his XFINITY adventures. With Berry moving to the Cup #4 what’s your opinion on Carson filling Berry’s old ride? Do you think on Junior signing Carson?
