umm no he didn't have to start racing pavement a long time ago if his main goal was Nascar. No you don't have to talk the talk to if you want to be in Nascar, no you didn't hurt anyones feelings. Rico, Larson, Clauson, Leffler, Stewart, etc didn't have any late model pavement experience before they went to Nascar (exclude Stewart if you want with the whole IRL thing). Gravel's whole explanation is on his youtube channel where he goes into detail about his life aspirations, as well as interviews in the past. I would say a lot of drivers out there driving sprints have the dream of racing Nascar and its not a bad thing as some on here make it out to be. Its not even a money thing, people are allowed to like Nascar and want to drive. It is just a slim chance that hardly any of them will ever get and I am sure that Gravel didn't know that he would have had the opportunity until maybe a couple years ago.

Fact. Gravel is starting a career, short or long, on pavement with fenders. Why doesnt matter too much.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Thats kind of what i was trying to say , any kid that grew up watching racing in that time period wanted to race nascar. it wasnt a serious notion until a couple years ago 

just saying stuff doesnt make it true, so you're wrong

So you're calling Gravel a liar? He SAID he wanted to do NASCAR from an early age

Why are we arguing about this????

This is the fun part. When arguements are about speculation and opinion.  My crystal ball is broken so I will sit this one out.

im not arguing , just stating facts. Gravel is a smart guy and knows how to play the game 

Oh, so now you can read his mind? & that makes it a FACT???

You guys dont need to take it so personal. im just saying if you look at history. im not to far off 

No----you're back peddling. 

1.  He did, since an early age, state his desire to run Nascar----he has made public statements about this.  You are claiming Nascar did not enter his brain until a couple of years ago. 

2.  As your "proof" you stated if he wanted to go to Nascar, he would have gone the pavement route instead of dirt.  Then, many on here pointed out the drivers who used dirt to get to pavement.  Now, you are pretending you meant something else?

Your ridiculous post was based on speculation that you are calling facts.  The best thing you could do, is move on to another topic or say "my bad"

first off -my post wasnt riddiculous , its pretty close to right on

i never back pedalled

and like i said twice already but ill say it agiain. everyone when they were little wanted to race in nascar if you grew up in that time period

not sure if you're trolling , or you just cant understand , or that you are just one of those people that cant be wrong.

good luck to you , sorry that i hurt you're wittle feelings. get out of the basement and go to a race sometime 

I agree on some points. While I have no idea if NASCAR was always his goal, my opinion is the same in I don't believe he'll be running to start his own WoO team if he makes it to the cup level.

I'll agree with that, as much as i'd like him to keep racing dirt. 

That is something we can both definitely agree on-----but that's just us being selfish

well we all know dirts the best form of racing, and thats a fact 

I don't take it personal at all

"not too far off" does not = FACT

I fixed your spelling for you... not "to"

 I'm disappointed in you revjimk. Are you the spell checker here now?

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

i blame autocorrect

Finally!  Now Kyle Larson is good!  All of these years we were doubting his talent but now he has won one of your covered races.  With all of those seconds he sucked.  Now, you can finally proclaim him the greatest of all time.   Thanks dirtlover!!
