They need to work on his head first....he has been posting all over social media about his depression issues. So a Honda powered NASCAR....interesting.

hwytohell Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Decker is being pushed into the big leagues way to fast , she needs to go back racing short tracks as often as money allows her.imo Menard used to show up at short track races with a decked out 18 wheel carrier and crew , and get his ass handed to him by the local racers. Petty - Andretti - Honda rumors have been on and off for at least 4 years in francecar . No doubt that Petty needs some cash + tech improvements, Gibbs offered up a Toyota package , the King sad NO. Honda as of today , has no single cam V-8 engine that could pass the francecar r&d or team charter club chieftain$. francecar has been courting fiat- bundy for a return , plus VW. Maybe all three will jump in ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how the Deckers fared in short track racing.

That seems fair to me even though I'm down in the points. Anyone else that wants to join in get their picks after us based on when they chime in?

RPM and NASCAR should be welcoming all comers right now. Screw the team charter thing. That is a bunch of BS. Ive said this before when she first got an ARCA ride. Ive seen her race in person at local tracks. She is as bad or worse than Danica. Just doesnt have that whiney bitchy attitude Danica has. She doesnt have alot of short track experience. And Ive never seen or heard of her doing good. Mid pack racer, with a higher end car. Though I dont recall her being a crash magnet or a weapon out there. Just average to below average at best. None of the Decker girls are much good. Her family obviously has money, but clearly not Menard 'FUCK YOU money'. As a matter of fact, Danica apparently used to be pretty damn good in carts. I dont know if the Deckers ever were in carts. Edited May 18, 2019 by Legend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed she's toned down her social media activity so thinking maybe the team said focus on racing more....it hasn't worked unfortunately as she seems like a nice personable young lady.

I dont really follow anybody on social media, but Ive seen some of her posts or stuff her PR people put up. Some of the comments are from some real freaky guys. Its gotta be damn hard being a woman thats half way decent looking in the public eye, especially in motorsports where people are so accessible. That could be another reason why she has toned it down. IDK? Wish her good luck, I always like to see WI people do good in racing, sports, etc. Hell Midwest people for that matter. I enjoy it when horseface wins a nascar race. Maybe just because I hope he will say something stupid or goofy....lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The normal chevy - ford yahoos. Honda has been making cars in the USA for decades. Hope they jump in , more might jump in also. Honda is a very conservative run company, like Yamaha.
