I'll bet with you, even if it only has HAAS on the sides.

The issue with this theory is that they have Cole Custer doing that thing right now. You may wanna look into how he ended up in that ride to begin with.
A better bet would be a situation like the 32 car for Kyle to come back to. Ties to SHR but without the big corporate companies needing answers.

I'm more of a Ryan Blaney fan when it comes to NASCAR but that is a topic for another discussion.
I mentioned in another thread that I think Kyle is under some pressure to perform in the Sprint Car due to NASCAR's attitude about Sprint Car racing. Thinking back and Kyle accomplished some great things in Sprint Cars early on and that propelled him to his NASCAR opportunities. My reasoning is that past appearances moonlighting in Sprints as a NASCAR star came without pressure. He might run two or three races per month in the Sprint during the peak summer months and if he wadded up a car there was no rush to get it back out there.
Now seeing as he's racing Sprints what amounts to full time, and this is as much a question as a statement, what will the NASCAR powers that be think of his abilities if he gets spanked by the Outlaws every night? Will that transfer to future NASCAR opportunities? What did they run at Knoxville, was it even top 10? Kyle picked out a few favorite tracks for his guest appearances as a NASCAR star but how's he going to do when he's running new tracks every week? Will he run full time with the Outlaws and will he give the likes of Schatz, Sweet, Gravel and company a run for their money night in and night out?
I don't know the answers, I'm just putting this out there as a half statement of curiosity and half question. What he went through brought on by his own actions was huge and could knock the strongest of us off our game. I might be wrong but I feel like right now he's got something to prove and if he doesn't run up front it's going to affect people's perceptions of his driving.

PERFECT, plus what's the big fascination with SHR last I've seen you need big time sponsors for big time teams, and that's obviously gone I would be surprised if his WoO team last all year.

Has he been in the top ten in either of the two races? Two races is hardly an indication of how the season will go and I don't know their schedule, if it's big shows only or running for points. If he runs all of the WoO races he is going to see some unfamiliar tracks. It's not like he is on holiday running Sprints, those guys that do it for a living are the best at what they do. It will be interesting to watch his progress but I suspect he will win a few.

Even today, if I had half his money, I'd burn mine.

Did he sell these yet?
Maybe he'll buy a place in Pennsylvania to make me feel better.
I think his rehab is over, he can go back to Napcar now

I think a better question right now is will Schatz, Sweet, and Gravel, and company give Larson a run for his money. As far as the "powers that be" in NASCAR, I really don't care what they think. I may be in the minority of people who would prefer he stay in sprint car racing.

A lot of drivers have come and go and the cars have changed a lot since I first started watching races sixty years ago. There will likely be more changes during my remaining years. Talk to any old guy like me and they'll tell about many of their favorite drivers throughout the years. I don't watch Sprint Cars because of Kyle Larson but I will damn sure stop and watch a little closer when he's in one. My last comment in this thread from before the streak started was that I thought he would win a few in the Sprints this year. Well, he checked that box off a dozen times in front of my PPV fixated eyeballs. He would likely win a title if he raced with them the whole year at this pace. On second thought he wouldn't just win it, he'd run off and hide with it.
The young man is a rare talent so I recommend enjoying it while we can because I suspect he'll be going back to chasing the big money when NASCAR decides to extend an olive branch.
