    For my guy Ryan Blaney, I say he deserves a C+
    This was by far the most competitive he's been in his career, however, their bad luck and failure to capitalize on wins this season did them in. There is a silver lining to: their biggest weakness, not being able to finish out races, was improved on in the playoffs after they were eliminated. They got 6 top 10 finishes, and were stating where they were running. With that momentum, they should be a threat next year

      These nascar content creators have some kind grudge against Preece. He proved his worth many times throughout the year but was chastised for not being consistent. The only thing that stopped him from being consistent was bad luck and equipment failures. They’re just absolutely oblivious to the bad luck and I don’t get it. He doesn’t get a fair rap, the talent is there he just needs some things to go his way. Not to mention the fact he was dealing with a whole new team and Stenhouse struggled many times in the same equipment throughout the season I just don’t get it. In 2021 he will turn some heads, I can’t wait!!

      @Ren_1090 4 года назад

      Eric is rating based on a combination of on-track performance and off-track successes. Wallace, driving for a pretty mediocre team, had a great season for what RPM could’ve feasibly done, which would’ve given him around a B alone, but off-track events have helped bump his score. RPM isn’t some race-winning outfit like you say it is. It’s been 6 years since they last scored a win, and even with that win, in 2014 Almirola had a lower average finishing position than Wallace did this year.
      Wallace has become a very recognizable name in the world outside of NASCAR and attracted a score of new sponsors. He leveraged all of that into what looks to be a very competitive ride with 23XI.

    Nice grades you’ve given out to these drivers for this year! Most of them have been an improvement from last year while others either stayed the same or did much worse. Luckily as a Truex fan, Truex did pretty good this season winning at Martinsville in my favorite paint scheme even though he’s come so close to winning a ton of races this year. Hopefully he can get more wins next year! 👍

    I don’t think bubbas on track performance this year had anything to do with him getting the ride with 23/11. MJ himself said as soon as he decided to join Denny and create the team he said he knew Bubba Wallace would be his driver. No matter how he got it he got it

      I'd pump the brakes a little bit. 2311 racing may eventually win one, and Jordon has a deep pocket. However it takes some time to build a race team. I have a feeling it's going to be more of a furniture row level team. And the shine will wear off of budda, and Jordon will likely sale. That's just my thoughts about it. Becay think about it. If that stuff didn't happen at Texas. Bubba wouldn't have gotten all those sponsors, and Jordon wouldn't be building a race team. I feel like this is more of a PR stunt for Jordon. Because also this was the first year MJ started to take a stand for the whole racial business. He's always been hush hush. Now I do think this is Bubba's opportunity. If hes going to have to be a top 10 racer and not a mid 25. I know that has more to do with RPMS and not budda. He's a good driver, but they're really putting a lot on him. I hope he shows out and finally takes that step, but I say pump the brakes. Don't put all the pressure on him. Let the team develop, and go from there. Chase won the championship, but it seems like Bubba won the season. IMO

    • @Ren_1090
      @Ren_1090 4 года назад

      Eric is rating based on a combination of on-track performance and off-track events/successes. Wallace, driving for a pretty mediocre team, had a great season for what RPM could’ve feasibly done, which would’ve given him around a B alone, but off-track events have helped bump his score.
      He’s become a very recognizable name in the world outside of NASCAR and attracted a score of new sponsors. He leveraged all of that into what looks to be a very competitive ride with 23XI.

  • @dwightmcclure9843
    @dwightmcclure9843 4 года назад

    Good take. Only think off on the 37 Preece because he usually ran ahead of faster cars, got wrecked and had equipment failures way too often, and lost positions on pit stops. So I see a crew chief and money issue. JTG focused on 47. Plus Stafford is close. Was actually surprised the Bell vs Jones was just as seen from this seat. However Bell does have tendency to self destruction. The 48 and 42, only unknown from this end is the issue aging eyes or all the new talent. My thought was eyesight. A 72 year old friend who actually got me into the sport and has more years owning, crew chief, and team member experience than anyone younger than 40 something says otherwise. Looking forward to the future !

Of course not! The south just flies that flag to pretend to be rebellious and badass. The only people that fly the Confederate Flag are punk adolescents that drive 20 year old Silverados with sketchy lift kits. They don’t know anything about the Confederate Flag other than it’s what you fly on the back of a junky pickup just to be “badass.”

Of course my guy Chase Elliott gets an A+. Also considering everything that was placed on Bubba's shoulders and his performance in an underfunded team I'll agree on that one too. Then finally there's #MyManMatt (Kenseth). Heartbreaking 😭 is the only way to describe it. I too had really high expectations for him. I so wanted him and Jimmie to win my heart just broke 💔.
