From what I have heard they wil be getting full Toyota support like JGR and 23 11. Trackhouse HMS and RCR are the only Chevy teams getting full support from the manufacturer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards was an asshole those last couple years. His ego was growing at an alarming pace. But he definitely had a few more good years of racing in him. It will always be a question as to what the real reason was that he left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him many times in the pits without the cameras on him and aways interacted well with the fans. There is/was other drivers that wouldn't give any interaction with fans unless there was cameras around for a good will show. One female driver was one of the worst.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted May 15, 2023 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 Rick Hendrick calling out Ross Chastain “for wrecking his cars”….apparently he wasn’t watching Saturday when Larson wrecked Nemecheck for the win.

Larson, Byron and Harvick all lifted for a second going into turn one. Chastain never lifted. Looked like Larson didn't lift when Chastain was crossways on the nose of his car after the caution came out. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the race again yesterday. Saw some highlights. From what I saw, Larson literally did the same to Chastain the start before, only Larson didn't get turned. Nascar wants people to go for wins, that's the shit that's gonna happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a little - Larson kept himself straight, and didn't dive across the front bumper like Chastain did. But what ever... don't care either way. I'm no Chastain fan, but that would have been the biggest FU had he pulled out the win yesterday... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've both qualified for the chase probably with their wins. I personally love what Chastain is doing. I like even more that he's not one of the boys and couldn't care less about getting along in the coach parking lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 With Chastain some of his aggressiveness is not buying him anything but a bad reputation. Last year at Martinsville and yesterday for the win could see that. But the middle of the race moves that are not buying you stage points or getting a lap back are getting him nothing but guys pissed at him. If your going to make aggressive moves make it for a win, stage points or something that's going to benefit you. He's now been involved in how many situations and haven't had a win in over a year.

So basically you just want everyone to ride around and only try for a few laps leading up to the stages and the end of the race. Fucking boring. Intimidating the other drivers is a good thing imo. Hell Dale sr. had guys shitting their pants when they saw him in the rear view mirror. 👍 Edited May 15, 2023 by Steve753 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Sr would give a couple warning shots before moving a driver. Ross shoots from the hip and hopes he hits something. Sometimes innocent bystanders gets caught up in his hip shoots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
