Yes. There were no big $ sponsorships available when he went to RCR to help turn them around. I think they're making progress, just not as fast as he wanted it to go. He'll win again and more than he time
I think people are making this playoff format more difficult than it should be. You can have regular points and a playoff, its not hard. If you're 17th after 26 you don't go sorry. If you're 5th after M'ville, better luck next year. No gimmicks, no win and your in. Simple
You did a whole lot of number crunching this week Kyle! I'm too old to math like that. But I'm sure glad you did. As for Kyle Busch, he's not done yet. He will, at some point have a car good enough to win in. Hopefully. Great work, as always!
No! No gold ticket. It's simple, take the regular season top 10 in points because they performed better than all other drivers. Most if not all will have win(s). Have one more spot in playoffs for the next highest in points who won during regular season. That is all!
Kyle Busch will definitely win again. You can’t keep him down. Maybe not as often but he will still get it done. Even Ricky Spinhouse wins once every 2 years
Larry Mac is a total shill. If NASCAR doesn’t rush it through, and leaves it open to discussion with the teams, all could win. He’s just pushing what NASCAR tells him to in order to stay in good graces.
@@ClayHoffmann Yep Larry Mac is just kissing ass! He probably thinks that the France family actually cares about him😂😂he just spreads rumors that Nascar wants him to. Can’t stand him anymore.
Basically Larry Mac said it most clearly when he said basically I don’t know what I’m talking about… Having an opinion is like having a butt…everyone has one.
Ive said this before ill say it again, a driver can win the first 35 races of the season, finish 2nd in the finale and lose the championship. It can be 2nd best car, a dropped lug nut on pit road, or even worse, maybe the Chevy teams block that driver from challenging for the win. Its irreparably broken
If Kyle stays with RCR. He will probably win one or two times every other year. Hot one year, cold the next. Just going off the stats from RCR The last 5 years. But if he moves to a better team. Who knows what could happen. He could be a 3 time champion.
Great take on your show. Enjoyed it. I would like to see the top ten in points race the 10 final races for the Championship. The top points at the end of the 10 races is the champion. Simple and produces a true champ.
Ive never understood how Chase Elliott can be the most popular driver every year. He shows no emotion win or lose, he seems like a robot. No personality, seems depressed most of the time. Tyler, Larson an Blaney are the best.
I have said the same thing, how can he be the most popular when you never hear or see him. Why don't they just call it the most popular name in NASCAR award.
I think ranking popularity by social media followings might be a little misleading. 1. One might follow someone they don't necessarily like, just for information. 2. Social follows are cumulative over time. The person who has been around longest might have more follows with more total numbers, not necessarily the most popular at any given time.
KFB fans gotta us one win this year with the most followed driver on the top 3 social media platforms. Don’t give up hope boys. We will win again in 25
Larry Mac is the most bias person concerning this subject. I like Larry, but he needs to just keep his mouth shut. He is a pure Nascar mouth piece. It is my opinion that these teams now have more cause than before. They both have bought a new charter and Nascar has denied access to both of them. These two charters are worth between 20 to 30 million each, if either team fails to qualify for the first weekend they can't complete for the championship (only race in the past year to have 40 drivers was Daytona.), Sponsorship issues, driver issues, and loss of income. I think a judge will give them relief. Also Nascar admitted fault when they waived the rules for the open car field for racing. If they can waive it for the open cars, they shouldn't have a issue waiving it again for the charter teams. They only waive the rule to try to get the lawsuit dropped. If Nascar continues with the goal to strip Front Row and 23IX of their charters for good and kick them out of the sport; Nascar should know they are going to lose fans. If Michael Jordan speaks out in the right manner, fans may boycott Nascar.
Let me flesh that out a bit for you. If he's asked a question, he should just keep his mouth shut. Unless his opinion is just like your opinion, in which case, hand him two microphones and get the hell away from the podium because Larry has something to say and dammit, we should thank him for having the courage to say it. Yep. I think that might be what you meant to say. Because it's what you think.
Kyle Busch won’t win in those shit boxes Richard Childress puts out for him to drive. KB will leave RCR soon as contract is up is my thoughts. Silly season 2025 may be the most interesting yet depending on outcome of 2311, FRM vs NASCAR lawsuit.
I hope Front Row Motorsports uses the number 32 for their third car, since 23XI didn't jump at the opportunity, when they signed Riley Herbst. I don't know. I guess I feel a sense of nostalgia, because I watched Ricky Craven win a couple of races, in the Tide 32 car, when I was a kid. I guess a part of me wants to see a number, with a rich history and lineage of winning races, return to a competitive team, that is capable of winning races.
Joey winning the cup has got these people trying to fix the wrong thing with the playoffs,or at least not the most important thing in my mind. We need more than one ☝️ race to decide the championship. Not a ‘golden ticket’ gimmick. While that might be fine,it’s not what is concerning me or most fans. Larry has several good points that I agree with. The 2311 & FRM lawsuit doesn’t make much sense. The things they have been complaining about does not match up with the actions that 2311 have made. I’m not a law expert but I don’t see this going in the teams favor.
That's the "good" thing about Nascar racing, you can't ever say a certain driver will never win again because the races are at times so situational. A driver can be bogged at the back all race, like Busch was most of the season, and then all of the sudden, because of a wreck, or wrecks, pit strategy, race strategy, whatever, he finds himself at the front with only a few laps to go and steals a win, like his team mate Dillon did. So Busch, along with every other driver out there, is in contention for a win almost every race if he can stay on the lead lap.
I don't know about Golden Ticket, but BelI and Bowman saw some Golden Stick it in the playoffs. I'm fine with the playoff format. If someone got a 'lucky dog' into the championship race, they probably wouldn't win anyway. If one thing has been fairly consistent in the playoff era, it's that the C4 drivers are almost always out front. They're in the C4 for a reason. You know, a couple of years ago, the only race Busch won was the dirt race at Bristol, which was the same race that Briscoe took Reddick out on the last lap, and third place Busch just barely scraped by at the line. His streak should have ended in 2022. But I remember Tony Stewart winning one final race after he entered his 'old driver' stage. The last 10 or 12 races Dillon was consistently faster than Busch in the same cars, and five years ago that never would have happened, but I'd say, yeah, Busch will win another race. I'd like to see him take one more bow. Kyle Busch was one of the greatest to ever take the track. 23XI has been getting their butts kicked in court, and they just keep steaming forward like the wheels aren't falling off. They want a court hearing. As I understand it, they don't have their charters, so Reddick and Wallace should be just as worried as Herbst. I don't see NASCAR settling either. They'll stick to their hard line. I've actually wondered if the drivers and owners might start their own circuit. A lot of teams are saying they stay afloat financially, but they're not making big profits. Serious owners spend their profits on R&D. They make their money outside NASCAR. Logano said it best. "Penske isn't here to make money, we're here to win races. We're here to win championships." 23XI is doing this because they don't make a big enough piece of the pie, and like McReynolds said, NASCAR has a right to make their own rules. Nobody has to buy a charter if they don't like it. Even without charters there is a path by racing their way in in qualifying, but what happens if they crash in their qualification lap?
@@BeatingandBanging Thanks. NASCAR is the most American of all sports in my book. The after-race shenanigans can be better than the actual race! I'm actually thinking Dillon has improved since Busch has been there. You see that all the time, an experienced driver goes to a new team and turns it around. Busch has helped RCR more than RCR has helped Busch. I really think Kyle is the voice of wisdom in NASCAR right now. We should all listen to him.
The sound of LM's voice has turned to nails on a chalkboard for me, same as Darryl Waltrip's voice had 10 years ago. I've just heard it too much over 25 years. If a person can "jump the shark", then he's jumped the shark imo
Out of LM own mouth basically if you dont like this PRIVATELY ran business go somewhere else... oh wait their truly the only real game in town.... sounds like a monopoly to me.
Why are the proposals for the playoffs just about adding gimmicks? Real smart for a sport with a serious credibility issues. The shark has been jumped, and even the Fonz has to be shaking his head.
All these old Nascar personalities realize they need to make crazy statements to stay relevant, and its getting sad, Larry Mack is the worst offender, and the other guy who said kyle won't win who is he
Mike Joy's "golden ticket to advance" is a non-starter. How is that different than how Lagano got into the playoff to begin with? NO, to any golden tickets. Any slights of hand to give ANY DRIVER a way to advance will bring us back to this very problem. "Win and your in" is what must be ended. They can give some more points for a win, but you need to have the POINTS to be in the playoff. Top 16 in the playoff by points only. Burton had zero cause to be in the playoff. His win was a timely fluke for him. I have lost lots of respect for Larry Mac for cheer leading for NASCAR. He seems to relish the opportunity to say 'I told you so' rather than fix the elephant in the room problem with NASCAR. There is no other NASCAR 'outsider' (not employed by) more in NASCAR's back pocket than Larry that I know of. But he was right about his "thimble" comment. I wonder if Doug Rice thinks Harrison Burton will win again or if he had money on him that day. What a dope. KB, love him or hate him is easily in the top 10 current drivers in NASCAR. He wins 19 years in a row, and 1 year he doesn't, it's like he doesn't know how to drive suddenly? Chase Elliot won the round with Hamlin. Burn.
@@tonycornett5140 I agree. You clearly missed the sarcasm. When Kyle was talking about the driver’s followers on social media he mistakenly called Logano a two time champion. That’s what prompted the question.
I am on the fence about Kyle Busch. I firmly believe he is capable of winning, but putting the whole package together (crew chief strategy and pit crew, and some luck) I am not so certain. I hope he does get another win in, but if he does, it I think it will be less than you can count on one hand.
If Kyle Bush wins another race or two, I highly doubt it will be in a RCR ride. There are many internal problems within that organization that are preventing him to be the winner that even though I am not one of his fans will admit he is capable of But the last year and a half, there's something missing and I think it comes from within the organization that he drives for.
Kyle Busch could have one more follower on "Twitter" if he would just unblock me 🤷🏻♀. Apparently I didn't offend him on Instagram and Facebook because I'm good there. 😜.
Nah. He just covers up what he doesn’t want you to see. Down here we call that a cat crew chief. If you’ve ever seen a cat in a litter box you’ll understand. 😉
If Kyle Busch was with a team capable of winning multiple races a year he would be winning multiple races a year.
He won 3 last year, he will win again.
He’s done
@@nickphillips4398not in Cup.
Yes. There were no big $ sponsorships available when he went to RCR to help turn them around. I think they're making progress, just not as fast as he wanted it to go. He'll win again and more than he time
Can’t believe someone thinks that Kyle Busch will never win again. He’s won over 200 races in all three series and gets no respect that fast.😳
Agree.
People are mad, but in all honesty Chase is the only one that keeps his head on a swivel and doesn't complain after every race
I think people are making this playoff format more difficult than it should be.
You can have regular points and a playoff, its not hard.

Yeah, I think it's called a victory
