BJ McLeod: A+++ (For OOTG sponsorship at Darlington)

This grade we can all agree, am I right?

Will you ever do another “reacting to your guy’s stop motion “stream again, it was a lot of fun the first time, and the community has changed a lot since than. Keep up the good work!

Now that we’ve had 10 seasons with the playoff format, I think it would be really cool if you did a video ranking the playoff seasons so far

2017-2019 were the best 3 IMO

@DoomusRLC I really dislike the 2018-2020 seasons tbh. 2014; 2016 and 2017 were the best

That’s a fantastic idea

My favorites are 2014 and 2016.

I would have given Todd a B just because he had to play musical chairs to drive full time since Zane Smith took some of his rides at Frontrow

Drivers, Professor Eric has arrived with your season grades!

PigeonGamer November 7, 2023 at 3:25 pm

Really dissapointed you didn’t grade people like JJ Yeley, Ryan Newman, BJ McLeod and Josh Biliki. I know they’re not full time but they shared those full time rides and I feel that some of them did really well!

Also no Noah Gragson

Reply
PigeonGamer November 7, 2023 at 3:44 pm

@Big Hand I feel hes a bit different. That’s why I didn’t include Cody Ware either

Reply
Aaron Armstrong November 7, 2023 at 5:43 pm

​@PigeonGamercody ware tried to strangle a woman. Gragson liked a meme. They are different

I think your grades were accurate. I may have tweeked a couple but overall, you were spot on.

Reply
DoomusRLC November 7, 2023 at 3:30 pm

Giving Blaney a A+ is a stretch IMO, mainly because of that summer lull. And I’m a Blaney fan lol. I’d have said A.

Reply
Big Hand November 7, 2023 at 3:30 pm

Ryan Blaney is hot and cold

Your grades were mostly on point in my opinion. But man, you were very generous with Briscoe and Almirola. They were invisible all year. I don’t get why sponsors put money on cars that are never on camera.

Reply
John November 7, 2023 at 3:38 pm

A team as a whole RFK deserves an A easily.

Andy Rios November 7, 2023 at 3:42 pm

I’m intrigued to see how the 9 rebounds next year with the 24 joining the 5 as top dogs weekly

There’s something that some people didn’t know about LaJoie. Dispite being involved in wrecks, he was able to finish all 36 races, and think he was the only one to do that this season. Major probs to him.

Reply
Farkle8000 November 7, 2023 at 4:28 pm

Do you know why Corey LaJoie had such a great season?

That man had 0… ZERO DNFs

Reply
Mr. X November 7, 2023 at 5:10 pm

HOW!? I didn’t even think that was possible in this day and age.

Reply
Farkle8000 November 7, 2023 at 5:13 pm

@Mr. X He kept his car clean. He certainly got damage over the season, but never DNFed

Reply
FalloutFan66 November 7, 2023 at 4:39 pm

Personally I would have given Harvick a B based on how off SHR has been yet he was the one driver in that bunch to be consistent enough to point his way into the playoffs

Reply
Joe Otto November 7, 2023 at 4:51 pm

This is the first year that your grades matched mine across the board. Not too sure which of us should be most worried about that though.

Reply
Erik Rasmussen November 7, 2023 at 5:00 pm

8:47 I was at the track at phoenix, and Hemrick was interviewed and said that he can’t wait to race with his teammate Aj Allmendinger next year, so maybe it’s not up in the air about what he’s doing next year?

Reply
Ryan Morrison November 7, 2023 at 5:08 pm

Corey LaJoie BTW, 36 races, 0 DNFs. That deserves mention. Taking care of your equipment will only help Spire’s growth. It certainly won’t hurt it!

Media Madness November 7, 2023 at 5:22 pm

Eric,
I am definitely expecting you to predict McDowell to make the 2024 playoffs next year.
