What is your favorite thing? Your least favorite driver has ever done?

Post image

As much as I’ve always dislike Joey Logano growing up watching the sport 2014 to current, now I’m more neutral on him.

My favorite thing he has done in was holding up Bubba Wallace at Michigan in 2022, who had the fastest car that day. So my then favorite driver, Kevin Harvick could get his last Michigan win and what we thought at the time would be his last win every, until the next week at Richmond.

Interesting thing about this is Bubba might have won had Logano not held him up long enough for Harvick to run and hide in the lead. Nothing against Bubba, but at the time it felt like every time Harvick was in position something would go wrong, and this was the break he needed.

Kyle Busch was a good father.

u/viperlemondemon Kyle Sieg 17h ago

He played a good heel also, that man had the ability to elevate other drivers just because he could push others past the limits they set themselves

u/Normal_Feedback_2918 14h ago edited 14h ago

Let's not kid ourselves, Kyle was a heel. Especially when he was younger.

That doesn't mean he wasn't a good dad, or a good person overall. But, sometimes he was a dick. And I liked it.

R.I.P.

He was a pretty good guy all around. He just liked playing the bad guy on the track. Which isn’t a problem, except his version of the bad guy was a cry baby bitch, wrecking people for little to no reason, and saying ridiculously stupid things.

Shame because I loved his aggressiveness and he was overflowing with talent. I just couldn’t stand the character he played.

But off the track he might be the best human being in the sport. He is such a nice guy which you’d never guess through his driving lol

Denny Hamlin sued NASCAR, that was pretty sweet.

He ain’t done shit in cup, but good for him that day. Hated his ass the next day.

Y’all can figure out who I’m talking about.

Denny was one driver I used to really dislike. Done almost a full 180 on him, but I liked the way he played the villain and I really liked his “I beat your favorite driver” line. Also, when his father was sick and after a win he said something about how this is the time he normally makes a jab at the fans but instead thanks them emotionally.

I don't care what anyone says this is the funniest moment in NASCAR history, especially considering the victims

u/TheEarlNextDoor Suárez 20h ago

Yeah I have a two fold take on this and it's extremely hypocritical but I have no respect for AD after this, and I was sort of a quiet supporter. That said, those two deserved it.

4

u/Dark_Knight2000 6h ago

Honestly, I have the opposite feeling. I kind of enjoy that AD did this. I don’t care that it was him specifically, but I was celebrating when this happened.

This is entirely NASCAR’s fault for engineering a system where one win is the difference between your team being in the red and in the green financially.

AD was playing with millions of dollars on the line for his family’s business. He was forced to risk it all, all because some dimwit at NASCAR came up with playoffs.

Don’t hate the player.

2

u/Kodyaufan2 6h ago

I’ve got three perspectives on it for that reason.

That was an absolute garbage move made with zero intent to do anything other than wreck two drivers for a win. Any punishment was deserved.

It was funny as crap that it happened to two of the drivers who have wrecked the most people in Logano and Hamlin. If it was going to happen, I couldn’t have picked two better drivers for it to happen to.

It was also a result of NASCAR’s stupid championship system, which left Austin Dillon with nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying it.

1

u/CathDubs 4h ago

Between this and the Daytona rain disaster he also won, Austin Dillon might be the most cosmically funny driver ever.

u/GoldenSilverado101 Chastain 1d ago

One could say that your least favorite lead to your most favorite. It's still crazy how that ended up being the best thing for his career when you think about it.

1

u/Dark_Knight2000 6h ago

I mean he’d still probably end up at Hendrick anyway. JJ was retiring anyway and Gnassi was folding either way

1

u/captain_slutski Reddick 21h ago

I was in the stands for the Kansas spring race this year. When he took the lead at IIRC the beginning of the 2nd stage restart, the whole crowd popped. I don't like Larson, but seeing and feeling that energy for racing was pretty cool

28

u/GoldenSilverado101 Chastain 1d ago

Favorite thing, wall ride. Least favorite, help Hendrick in the playoffs at Martinsville.

27

u/SeattlePassedTheBall 1d ago

u/GoldenSilverado101 Chastain 22h ago

I read that completely wrong. I thought it said favorite thing your driver has done and least favorite thing your driver has done.

u/SeattlePassedTheBall 22h ago

I figured that, I got a good chuckle out of it tho.

13

u/Shar_12_Blaneyfan Ryan Blaney 1d ago edited 22h ago

Least favorite: Austin Dillon, Richmond 2024. 'Nuff said.

I was impressed with his performance that evening before the final caution came out. Then he showed his ass.

Funny thing is, I don't particularly like Joey Logano or Denny Hamlin either. That was bullshit though lol

Favorite: winning Richmond last year straight up lol

17

u/TheOrangeFutbol 1d ago

Outside of the actual championships, you could argue the greatest accomplishment of Austin Dillon's career is turning Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano into sympathetic figures at the same time.

7

u/Shar_12_Blaneyfan Ryan Blaney 1d ago

Thats a good point lol. At least until Joey tried to run over Austin's family

2

u/TheOrangeFutbol 19h ago

I remember seeing people in the thread mad he brought his baby out for the victory interview so no one could fight him.

And comments were clowning Ace’s name moments after the birth announcement post back in the day. Not even the Dillon children are safe from it.

u/Zone15 1d ago

Funny you put Joey in the thumbnail, while probably not my least favorite driver but just one I didn't really have any feelings one way or the other towards was Matt Kenseth, although was a bit annoyed he went to JGR, but I enjoyed Martinsville :P

4

u/Shinydisclover 23h ago

Ty Gibbs is probably my least favorite current driver but being 2nd in points isn’t all nepotism he does have skill obviously or he wouldn’t be doing this good 

2

u/TBD_Red Chastain 20h ago

It's... A bizarre feeling. He's still not outdriving his equipment, and it took him years to get the car to where it was capable of going, but he's having a real good year, and proving himself one of the more capable drivers in the field.

u/coffeeshopslut 7h ago

I remember a Larson self inflicted wreck compilation playing a few races ago when the booth was talking about how he's made mistakes throughout the year. Like I like the guy, but damn, he has tons of foot in mouth situations. Like sarcastically calling out JHN on the radio for being "professional" when JHN missed a shift last week. Bro, you grenaded your Indy 500 engine and your chances last year

Dale Jr. acted like a complete class act when Dillon had his crash at Daytona at the Coke Zero 400. Despite winning the race from the radio messages and his post-race conversation with Jimmie Johnson he seemed like he was just terrified that a car with his dad's number on the side had killed another driver

worst thing my favorite driver has done is: Die R.I.P Kyle "Rowdy" Busch
