I went down to watch Kinser when he was in nascrap at Richmond. He was a full second off the front running cars. From are seats we could see his pits across from us, and with the help of binoculars, I could see every time he came in that his tires were junk. That Bernstein team was terrible, I believe steve wanted to try it and not regret his decision down the road. Remember he won in IROC at a time when all those cars were pretty equall. When he had the shot at Indy he was making his way through the field at the right time in the race. To long ago but if memory serves me correctly he was running 7th when mechanical woes put him out. Kinser was born in the wrong decade. I feel strong in making this statement, Kinser could race with them all. Yung money will probably still be racin long after I'm gone. Is he good ? Oh hell ya, and I'll keep watching him put those dirt cars on the cushion for awhile I hope.

Just a couple comments on Larson.
When Lance Dewease was on our podcast he reffered to Larson as the (Larson Affect) and when we had Danny Lasoski on our podcast he called Larson (Baby Jesus). Larson definitely has the respect of all the drivers.
Lastly the Folkens Bros Trucking being his sponsor is so awesome. If you don't know Folkens Bros Trucking is located in the Village of Lester which is about 250 people. Not 2500 or 25,000 or 250,000 people. Population is 250 people. Well ok they are 2 miles out of town but how awesome is it that one of the main sponsors is from a Village. The Folkens family is pretty dang awesome.

Does he even have any outdoor midget races on his schedule this year?. I could be wrong, but I do not remember him running the USAC Midget Week in 2021 like he did in 2020. Anyone know his upcoming schedule?

Back to Larson......
I know he can race most divisions with success, I'm not questioning his skill.
But I wonder how much money, if any, he is putting into the program for horsepower or quality equipment. Could he find an advantage through money that Kasey kahne or Tony cant or wont?
And if he is spending some of his money I wonder if he will own a team again. Probably be wisest to own himself as a driver but the points championships would not be the thing.
So 2nd question, if you run a tru outlaw schedule and do good taking the big money most places, is that better financially than commiting to one point fund?
Just some thoughts to hey back to Larson or st least racing...
|
1. I don't think his money is much of a factor in the success of the #57. He has said on more than one occassion that Paul runs a tight ship when it comes to finances. He does not have the disposable income (or even close to it) that Kasey and Tony have----so I can't see him using his own cash to fund much of anything other than his trips to and from the tracks.
2. When it comes to the question of whether or not he will run a full-time outlaw schedule or hit big money shows, he has been very upfront about his desire to run the full Outlaw schedule and run for a championship. I think he has also been pretty clear about the fact that he will not do this until his financial ducks are in a row. So, what makes the most sense at that time will not matter----because he doesn't plan to do it, until he can afford to do it right.
Kyle Larson is loaded when compared to most of us on this board----he makes a LOT of money. However, he is not loaded when calculating the amount of cash it would take to drag a sprint car around the country for the next 30 years. He's not in that place right now. If he did that now, he would end up with the same retirement as me.

I'll never forget that day you brought your Barbie collection in for show and tell. When the teacher snickered, you went into a rant about how you were just gonna take your Barbies and go to Hershey. No one took you seriously until the movie "Barbie Goes To Hershey."
You showed us all.
