Ross Chastain

NASCAR take note

With all the influx of young talent coming into the top two series now may be the time to reincarnate a version of the old IROC series.All the new young guys head to head in a Race of Future Champions series.If two guys in this thread can generate this spirited a debate what happens when you throw in Blaney,Elliot,Jones,Larson,and quite a few more.Here we are talking about two guys who haven't even one a race in the top three series. Think about adding in all these guys into one race without the Johnson's, Harvick,Busch's etc of the world in matching cars.Could be a market for that.

OK??

I don't like hammers anymore. I played with too many in the old mans body shop.lol

Preece P3 in final practice...

Don't care how good or bad the equipment is, you still have to be able to drive it.

[zerofor]

I didn't see anymore practice. I'm guessing Chastain 22nd ish in that potent bowtie. Lol OK Phil,you Frasson and Mark Keeler.I'm still on for a cold one based on the results of tomorrow's Xfinity race even though I think there's an obvious mismatch in equipment. Based solely on final finish.No wah-wahing about getting punted off the track by somebody else,pit road or anything else.We all know who has the better car and pit crew.The other stuff is part of racing luck.I will say one thing.Preece has got his opportunity now.Now he has to make the most of it.I don't know that Joe Gibbs will be as patient as say Jack Roush was with Stenhouse,Busch,or Ragan.

"I don't have one thing against Ryan Preece but I'm pretty sure if you look at how he and Ross Chastain ran [we could have a big time comparing oranges to apples]"--04

"Surely if Chastain was so good, [we could all have watermelon and so on and so forth...]"--The Mason Dixon Line

Can't Chastain and Preece both be "good", you know, like Blaney and Elliot?

[zerofor]

Sure but what's the fun in that? You know I just thought about something.What happens if they take each other out?

"Sure but what's the fun in that?"--04

Well, you got a point there.

I am not familiar with either driver enough to make a call, but typically in the "who's best" discussions I favor the guy that will put it three wide (either side), the guy that is not afraid to use the bumper (though not "dirty"), the guy that is clearly carrying the car.

Stats are nice, but kind of beside the point in my book...

Preece passed Ryan Newman on the last lap to win yesterday's Modified All Star race at New Hampshire....
I'd say that's a pretty good addition to his resume'...!

[Frasson118]

Ryan also qualified 6th for the race.... only behind Kyle Busch, Keselowski, Larson, Tifft and Hemric.
Ahead of Byron, Dillon, Sadler, Allgaier, and Gaughan... all winners in that series.

[Frasson118]

Ryan proved my point tonight.... this kid is a wheelman, and I think he opened some eyes today.

Ryan

No doubt, this guy can drive, very impressive!! Nothing against Ross, he does the best he can, in the equipment he's in, just like Ryan did last year. I can't wait for Iowa, if he does what he did today, he will win. Gibbs needs to find room for him before someone else does.

[zerofor]

What? What?

He only finished second!!!! Lol I might have said Preece was the second coming of god if he could have got around the crybaby that won.But since Gibbs owned that car too I imagine the old coach didn't care who won.Preece got more out of his car than I expected. Chastain about exactly what I expected. Now aren't you going to tell me about how Chastain wasn't even the highest finishing car amongst his team?Harrison Rhodes was.OK OK you guys win round one.I'm assuming more rounds to come.OK now come find me at Citrus County Saturday for a cold one.I'll see if I can dig out my Chastain shirt so you can spot me.

Maybe Gibbs will put him over in the 77 car for a year. the 78 car wants a teammate. love Jesus.
