Just to paint a more realistic picture on how he’ll perform in Nascar outside of the road courses. It’s going to take years for him to figure out the ovals if he ever figures it out, it just doesn’t instantly happen. This is why Trackhouse is only signing him to a developmental deal. The guy is still completely unproven on ovals so he’s not getting a full-time Cup ride as was speculated. He’ll run part-time in all 3 series first for a year. Got to see how he does on the other 30 races a year that aren’t road courses first before putting him in a ride full-time.

@Fluffy Mcnutters Gaming Then explain to me how he only finished 19th and a lap down in his truck debut on an oval? If they’re not as hard, he should’ve won that race easily. But he didn’t. He got schooled by a field where half the drivers are teenagers and in their early 20’s.

It may require less skill but it still requires a fairly unique skillset which is hard to adapt to as has been proven by practically every driver who has come over from other racing disciplines to try Nascar.

I don’t know why people think he’s going to come in and dominate. Marcos Ambrose came over from SuperCar just like SVG did and he stunk on ovals his whole career, was only a factor on road courses naturally just like SVG is so far proving to be. The guy is talented, there’s no denying that, but people gotta slow their roll and have more realistic expectations.

@TurboMarc Not even remotely the same as racing on asphalt. Apples and oranges.

It’s funny because the larger the oval the easier it is .. very small ovals like Lucas oil raceway at Indy are way harder. But road racers are used to braking so they only have to learn a couple of corners on an oval compared to 15 or more on a road track.

Ovals are not as hard as road course and require less skill

Nah, he’s much better than Dale Jr.
