I won’t be surprised by the end of the year Tony Stewart sells the team
To Dale Jr perhaps
@@stellingbanjodude beat me to it! it would be so weird to see Jr wear a blue oval though
@@user-dl1op1qk1m I’ve heard thru the grapevine that if Jr buys them they’ll be switching back to the bowtie
Jr would have to switch JRM to Ford then
Jr has all but said he wants in Cup, talks money, leadership, and possible drivers. Tony has been miserable in NASCAR for some time now. He owns 2 Top Fuel teams, and hes driving his wife’s dragster, do we really need anymore hints? Agree if he buys, they’ll run Chevys
If a had nickel, for every time everyone had more points then a driver in the past two years. I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s crazy that it happened twice…
There’s a reason why Ford is giving more technical support for a team that used to be a glorified start and park team than a championship winning organization.
Stewart being pissed at FORD and his very public anger for them telling him NO over Larson.
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 Oddly enough, I think that Ford actually had a point. The 2021 season was a freaking year-long sandbagging by every team other than Hendrick (did anyone wonder as to why Kyle Busch was as pissed as he was…dwarfing every other Kyle Busch temper tantrum, I mean, he was REALLY pissed off) as every team other than Hendrick were under a parts freeze, so teams could save money for the next gen 2022 car…at the expense of fans who saw even top tier teams lagging behind, especially after winning one race (half the championship 16 only won one race during the regular 2021 season and were then mid-back or backmarkers for the rest of the regular season).
In essence, every other team out there threw out their rotator cuffs waving Larson and Elliott to the front, with Larson coasting to a win because the other teams were scrimping and saving for the new 2022 cars…and were under strict orders to hold back so they wouldn’t push and break a lot of parts. The old cars would simply be thrown away or sold at a loss after 2021 was done, so don’t break anything, if you find yourself in place for a win, great, but don’t beat and bang for the lead. I’m thinking that many team crew chiefs probably fainted at the parts cost of the disastrous Indy road course event where multiple cars were destroyed after hitting the terribly designed-and-placed track bumpers/barriers.
In addition, Larson’s return for the 2021 season was a redemption story arc for NASCAR: Idiot says idiotic things because he thinks he’s a comedian, idiot gets fired, idiot immediately gets snapped up by the World of Outlaws (who quickly realize that NASCAR and related waaaaay overreacted)…and only after Larson goes to NASCAR Reeducation Camp does Larson publicly acknowledge that he indeed was a terrible human being, and only after being trained in the ways of the NASCAR Politically Correct Force, will he be able to win a NASCAR Champeenship.
Am I nuts for suggesting thus? Go back to the not-so-thrilling year of 2021, and all you’ll see is the same “redemption” theme being played out all over NASCAR related media throughout the season, Larson was given top billing for having been brave enough to be reeducated by NASCAR, meaning, Larson’s champeenship win was pretty much all but scripted.
What’s happened since 2021?
Larson has practically fallen off the face of the Earth. He’s an awesome dirt track driver…but not much more than a gimmicky top-level NASCAR competitor, he’ll never win another championship, nor will he ever be in contention to win one.
@@buttslappingpirateLarson led the most laps last year despite being wrecked out of 10+ races last year and yes some was his fault but the overwhelming majority wasn’t. The guy will compete for a championship for as long as he’s in the sport, would’ve won many of the races last season too had he not been taken out by someone else
@@buttslappingpirateSo to say he’s “fallen off the face of the Earth” is one of the most idiotic things you can say right now
@@callmen4 “would’ve won many of the races last season too had he not been taken out by someone else”
Yes, he’s always in the wrong place at the right time, isn’t he?
He’ll never win another champeenship, sorry. Like Denny Hamlin, another quality-when-it-doesn’t-mean-anything driver who will never win a champeenship, Larson simply falls apart when it really counts.
Larson only won in 2021 because NASCAR wanted him to. Don’t believe me? Look at the stats. Everyone else other than Elliott simply threw out their left rotator cuff in waving Larson to the front.
Gragson just can’t catch a break huh. Also that Logano glove is brilliant lmao
Blaney’s helmet looks nice on the shelf!
Wanted to have the three most recent champs represented
There is a camera in the car!!! How did he think he wouldn’t be caught?
he thought he would but it would only be a fine which he can definitely pay.
Evidently, it worked at Daytona, so try it again!
That spiderman glove is pure genius … true old school NASCAR cheating which makes me smile
If someone needs to cheat to win, rather than it being on the merit of their own racing skill and discpline, they never deserved to win.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Trackhouse ends up picking up a charter or two from SHR. I don’t see them wanting to keep banging their heads against the wall just to finish in the bottom twenty in points forever.
Tony and Gene are not sound like anything
And some people wonder why Ford may pull their support from SHR. This is a SHR problem, not a Ford problem.
I know that Tony is the owner, but this comes down to the director of competition, namely Greg Ziff deli. I personally think Ziff’s time is over and done and if Tony or jean Hoss doesn’t do something soon, I think you’re right, for all technical alliances from SHR and who could blame them.
It sho’ is!
I think SHR has to make some wholesale changes now not later to wake up the teams to the seriousness of the situation. If they don’t they could loss Ford as well as more sponsors
They don’t even show Preece or Gragson in the NASCAR app on points, that’s how bad it is
Check out the Door Bumper Clear podcast. They mentioned the SHR cheating with a comical question. Paraphrasing: “Is there any other team that’s been caught cheating so much and still not running well?”
When your boss is blaming you in the media and you’re feeling the heat, the innovation has to step up. Tony can’t say a word over the penalties lol.
Before Tony even said anything in the media He already told everybody what his expectations are and put them on notice that If you can get the job done you will be replaced So don’t act like he just said that in the media and not to his employees first
Nascar to SHR “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!”
Gene Haas: “I love the young people!”
Old man? Wake up. Rick Hendrick, Joe Gibbs, Jack Rousch, Roger Penski, Richard Childress are old guys. They still dominate. U dummy. Peace. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Still remember Boris. Whether it’s him wanting to give Greg Biffle a “freakin’ whoopin” or him driving that No.36 Centrix car back in the mid 2000s. Those were the days.
Yep. Love the days of Boris, Ron Fellows etc.
The sooner Tony can get out of Nascar and concentrate on NHRA the better for him.
He’s not getting out of NASCAR I don’t know where you’re getting this idea Because he’s pretty damn committed to winning races in NASCAR And unless you forgot he’s already pissed off about last year’s performance and he said if things don’t improve there’s going to be changes as in there’s going to be people out of jobs replaced with others who can do the job
@@johnhaas2523 We’ll see. If nobody gets fired after this debacle, we’ll know that Tony was just blowing “Smoke”!
Always love seeing Boris Said in a race.
