Outlaws race was good but Allstar race was terrific! Larson & Reutzel slugging it out like Hearns vs. Hagler.... don't know how many lead changes but there were plenty. Dietrich hung in there for 4th, starting to become the best Posse guy "off the porch". Unless you count Schuchart (which i do...)

I love watching new tracks I've never seen before.... I bought Floracing just cause I wanted to see new tracks like Lawton and Red Dirt.  I had a blast tonight watching the Outlaws and Allstars.  Its got me pump to win a 305 at Fayetteville Motor Speedway tomorrow night.  Wish me luck!

Just watched the replay, good race. Glad you mentioned it...

Not as good as Friday, tho

Dietrich still hanging in there "off the porch"... 3rd in a pretty tough field

Anytime Larson is able to race with either All-Stars or WOO the fan count rises.Knoxville weekly shows can not compete  for the amount of passing and close racing.Maybe this weekend but the smaller tracks have better action. IMHO what happened in e-racing to Larson is great for the dirt fans.I watched part of Dale Jr download featuring Bubba Wallace and if it wasnt for the money and fame NASCAR is the most  boring form of televised sports right there with golf.

Enjoy watching kid kyle while you can. I say he's back in a cup car next year driving for stewart / hass. The bottom line is dollars, he may be having more enjoyment driving the open wheel stuff, but with Stewart / hass  he'll get plenty of chances to do both. I think he'd like to prove that Ganassi situation just did not fit his personality.  Will see, if that's the case,  TS will want him on the tour he owns to bring the fans in.

I definetly think people don't have a grasp on what has to happen for Larson to get back into Cup, even with SHR.   Chevy ended their association with him immediately after it happened.   What makes anyone think Ford will be so quick to step in and support him?  The other issue is that not only would sponsors need to be on board with whatever SHR ride he would drive, but all of the sponsors of the other cars would have to be on board with Larson too.  With the events of recent weeks there ain't no way all of that can come together.  I would say the strongest possibility is that he never returns to Cup.   If he does, I think it would be in three years or further down the road.   I don't see any way it happens next year.

I was one of the ones who thought SHR would be a possiblity after this year because of certain relationships that Tony had with sponsors & previous comments made by Tony himself about Larson's talent in the past. However like you said with recent events in recent weeks, probably no way it will come together now. It will probably be a couple years before he has a possiblity of being in cup. At this point, it might be a stretch to see him in one of the low dollar/start in park/field filler teams in the next season. At least we can still watch him at the dirt track for the short term foreseeable future.

With NASCAR trying to assimilate as much as possible to "woke" capitalism, there's no way he's coming back next year. Maybe 2022-23 if he plays his cards right.

The wildcard in all of this is with Cup ratings 1/2 of what they once were, when the new TV deal gets negotiated, it might not be as lucrative as the last one was. If not, driver salaries will go down even further. They'll still make more than the Dirt guys, but the differential may not be as much.

By the time he might be able to come back, it might not be as much of a desire at that point.

All Stars have a race every night this week!    Next week it is USAC's turn to entertain me on Flo after work every night except Monday.

Personally, I hope he won't go to a lower level team.   I'd rather see him stay in sprints if he can't go back with an SHR or other top level team and actually compete.

That occurred to me too. Is Larson running Allstars as part of a deal with Tony?

But somebody made a good point about sponsors too... who knows?

I think most of us would like to see him stay on dirt, but loss of $$ could mean loss of another team..
