How would you grade your favorite driver’s 2024 season so far?
I got 2 so
Denny Hamlin-A+
Kyle Busch- Somewhere between D- and C-
@@legginthegreat_052I give him a B
Probably like a C
Chase Elliott gets a B
Kyle Busch’s rating is pretty fair. Yeah, he isn’t living up to expectations, but I think it’s a combination of his age catching up to him somewhat and RCR being pretty bad so far.
No kidding, so far in the season they seem to be below Trackhouse who may I remind you didn’t even exist until 2021, let alone be contenders
@@xavierjuno4572 And Austin Dillon was below 30th in the standings at one point. He would be 30th if the Winston points format was still in place.
I would think my boy Chastain should get a B for Busch
Cindric is lower than a C-
I said D
D-
How? 21th in standing is definitely C
@@FlaglerAmerica …in a Penske
@@davicee. Ford clearly struggling can we agree?
When did Larson get 2 wins this year?
Das what im saying
I was just about to say
well clearly hes won at LVMS and KYLE LARSON WINS MOTORSPEEDWAY
I knew that Front Row made the correct decision by not dumping Gilliland for Zane Smith
I’ve been saying Gilliland since the debate started and I’m so glad I was so right
@@connorbingel7134 I know Zane Smith was all hype. He should’ve spent at least a season in Xfinity, though I get why he moved up so fast seeing as Ford really doesn’t have any competitive teams outside of SHR in Xfinity
Always thought Todd has a lot of potential to be a contender every now and then. TOP TEN TODD FTW
Give it time… hell Zane got a top 10 last year in the coke 600 in the 38 car. He’s good
but not as good as people thought. He’s an average talent, nothing that amazing not special in my opinion. Hocevar is better for instance. @@nathanboetel5290
NAH THE OJ SIMPSON REFRENCE IS CRAZY
Where I didn’t hear it
@@Manuel-zt1dz2:06
Glad to see some respect for Bowman, he’ll get his win soon
me too, was real happy he saw the good in this start of of the year
Eric Estepp A+. Denny shoutout on his podcast last week for saving short tracks. The interview with KP “Let Me Say This” “That’s Incredible”. Interviewed by Kenny Wallace (never thought I’d see that 1). Very good 1st quarter of the season.
Like I told Eric Estepp on Twitter, I fear that Zane Smith will have a Noah Gragson like rookie season based off where he is finishing so far in this season. A failing grade is unsurprising to me.
Zane Smith got what he wanted when he is no longer in the Truck Series, yet he hasn’t been performing as what I expected out of a former Truck Series Champion.
Wood Brothers screwed the pooch by not bringing back Matty D. Harrison Burton clearly ain’t ready. Yes, I know Matt might not be able to bring in sponsorship, but he’s a hell of a driver.
This is the 3rd or 4th video I’ve seen saying Larson has multiple wins. Not a big deal but he only has 1 so far. Byron with 3 and Hamlin with 2 are the only multi race winners so far
It definitely feels like Larson has had multiple wins since he lead over 500 laps so far, more than his 2021 season at this point in the season, it seems like he’s always at the front
I am pretty impressed by Carson Hocevar. He was with an absolute steaming pile of garbage last year (Legacy) and with another “field filler” team and is doing a great job! He’s not wrecking as much anymore too…
I feel bad for my driver Stenhouse man. Yeah he’s been running bad this year, but bad luck has also caught him. Pit crew penalties costed him decent finishes at COTA and phoenix and last weekend at Texas he was running inside the top 10 before the late caution pushed him back to 25th. But yes he’s been bad this year
Both RFK ratings are fair, the thing that holds the team back from being even better IMO is qualifying results. Get that sorted and both Brad and Chris will get that win eventually.
The team is there, just need to find that extra something.
I think you underated front row. Both B at least. The amount of times I’ve seen both drivers inside the top 10 (though not always finishing there) is unheard of
As a KB fan, I think you’re being reslly nice to him with this grading. I would give Kyle a D. He started the year off strong for the first 3 races, until his pit crew screwed him over in Vegas, but ever since then, he has dropped off the face of the map. Even last weeks top 10 was complete luck, he ran outside the top 20 almost all day.
