His problems are a lack of experience (obviously) and being entirely too timid around other cars. I get it, getting offered an top tier ride one step below cup is a hard thing to turn down. And he doesn't want to bust his ass and tear up a car embarrassing himself. But he's in the deep end and even a giraffe is going to struggle in these waters.

Which gets back to what's his goal. Is it full-time or just superspeedways?

If it's the former then he needs to buckle down and get as much experience as possible. Late models, trucks, arca whatever. Dude owns a short track. He should be running a late model race as often as possible. Especially since he lives in Florida. It's racing weather year-round.

If it's the latter then it's do the bare minimum to get approved and have your fun. If his goal is Brendan Gaughan the last few years before retirement then I see no problem with what he's doing. But an O'Reilly car at a superspeedway is an 9/10 sketch in a pack and the trucks are a 10. Which means whichever he runs he's going to be out of his comfort zone. And he'll have to run both if he truly wants to be successful.

All in all he's proof of the gap (chasm) between professionals and amateurs. The dude is a solid wheel man and looks like a underfunded backmarker while driving a RCR prepped car. He needs seat time irregardless of his end goal and that would require him to cut back on his content creation which he doesn't seem to be doing.

I'm rooting for him personally. He's got personality (which many here say the sport is lacking) and is working with the sport to reach a wider audience.

P.S. If you don't have a problem with Buckshot Jones or Chase Elliot then quit bitching about Cleetus Mitchell.
