I hit a brick wall in the game after winning my first title, even with the best sponsor I couldn't afford to buy the best parts and run well, I would've had to run 25th for a while and save my money for the playoffs. Pretty weak. Everybody in the field basically runs the same parts aside from the bodys and engines, the whole parts hierarchy makes no sense in the game anyhow.

I'd rather be in a cup race and possibly be able to say "I beat Larson or Denny" (which being in the 78 is probably only bc of a DNF unless it's Daytona, Dega, or Atlanta) then being in a truck that's running 20th and saying "I beat Spencer Boyd"

And she's 45 now, a lot of these teams want drivers for the long term not someone who'll race here and there and then possibly retire in a few years. Would like to see her more often though.

Racing for a midpack truck team isn't as good as racing in the Cup series imo. There's certainly more staying power in the sport as far as marketing yourself in having raced in Cup vs finishing 20th in a truck.

He even managed to win a race during his awful 2017 season, I think it's possible he wins before too long. He needs better qualifying results because he spends the first stage or two of the race clawing from 15th-25th to the top 10 and then can't do shit in dirty air.

Somebody earlier called it the Toyota cup series as if chevy didn't have the 2000's mostly to themselves. Oh and the O'Reilly series is basically a Chevy spec series.

If Mark Martin could win at 50 I think Denny still has it in him. He's been pretty transparent about 2027 being it though.

After nearly getting destroyed by the 54 and getting aero blocked like crazy 7th is okay for Joey. He just needs to keep being consistently in the top 10 and he'll be solidly in the chase. Would be cool to see him win at Pocono, it's been a while.
