Come on bro, you lose all credibility when you say silly stuff like this. Chase is not a flop, his time is coming. I know we’ve been waiting awhile for that first one but no one can deny his time is coming. I agree his day is coming, but man with the way Hendrick has been running, it seems it’s further away than it’s been since the start of his Cup career. You know Chase will get there, but now he’s got to deal with a weaker, by comparison, Hendrick. That’s such a bummer. Who would have ever said the weaker Hendrick huh?

I honestly don't think that Chase is a flop. He just has had bad luck and still has a learning curve ahead of him. I think he will get a win.

Yeah, Chase (and probably Byron too) just happened to get called up when they did during the worst run Hendrick has had probably since the teams early days. Hendrick is now McLaren 2018, and Stewart-Haas is Mercedes 2014.

The sport has taken such a shift over the last three or four seasons. Kyle & Kevin have always been right there with Jimmie in terms of winning on a consistent rate. Now? They've turned that s*** to eleven while Jimmie is dealing with the struggles of not being the best team (something Kyle / Kevin have went through). Then there's Martin with his "rags to riches" team basically. I think those three drivers / teams might've just eaten Hendrick's soul at this point, lol.
I'm sure Hendrick was s***ing themselves last night when it seemed Kasey was going to win for Levine before Hendrick for 'em one this season.
---
I think the biggest issue the sport sometimes has is the pressure on younger drivers to perform. They are putting pressured to create their "brand" and "carry the sport" to replace someone like Junior or Gordon. That's on top of the pressure to win at the highest level in stock car racing. The "young movement push" has hurt the younger drivers because they got all this attention and then didn't win right away. Now? Anyone who hasn't won in three starts is a bust. It's crazy.

I know we’ve been waiting awhile for that first one but no one can deny his time is coming. I'm a female, and Chase has been full time Cup now for three years and still no wins, time for him to put up or shut up. In a few years you’ll be complaining because he’s winning to much. It took Kyle Larson two and a half years before he got his first win. It just takes time.

I do agree with the Hendrick comments though. They’re not what they use to be. Hopefully with enough time in this Camaro they will turn things around. But I don’t know, I honestly thought they would all be running better by now.

Newgarden may just lap this entire field like it's 1968.

So mad at the race on Saturday. Mad at Kasey for trying to make a run that he knew he couldn't hold. Can't hate on Erik because he was FRR last year and MTJ's teammate. Still I'll take a second if I can't have 1st. Good points day, and at least Harvick and Busch wrecked out. Kyle, not by his own fault but still happy he wrecked out.

Really? you don't see people being happy when Truex crashes.

From that moment, I hated him. So of course I don't wanna see him win. Now I don't wanna see him get hurt. But if he's not in contention for a win, I'm happy.

disliking drivers always happens. I mean I was a diehard fan Dale Sr and my brother loved Rusty Wallace.
Dad liked Jeff Gordon which mom, me, and brother hated. Also I don't like JJ#48 at all.
