Reacting To My BEST and WORST Takes of the 2024 NASCAR Season

[@MICHMIKEY]

"This championship is different like all the others" is your worst take. When past champions pre 04 were the indisputable best team those are alot different

[@ChipSaunders-go2bm]

Yep it means nothing now all for "excitement" that's not even exciting. Game 7 moments are important because they don't always happen

[@EricEstepp]

@MICHMIKEY you just agreed with my take. Most championships are all different and fans view them that way

[@timechanger9162]

I’d say 2013 and back were. The final 10 races still gave the best teams good shot to win it. The playoffs take it all away and put it into luck. There is no other pov the playoffs most of the time does not award the best team all year. Everyone knows that, fans of the playoffs and haters of the playoffs

[@HillaryClintonWinning]

​@@timechanger9162"It gets it right 70% of the time" is a bad argument. No playoffs are always better than any form of post season

[@timechanger9162]

@ I rather them go with the full season method but overall for everyone to be somewhat happy the 10 race chase would be best. You’re the real npc for talking having context.

[@DaltonHerzmann]

Any suggestion racing should use a stick and ball style playoff format is auto worst take

[@DennyDeliversYT]

imagine pre-szn having joey logano make the final 4 bc of even years… wrong method right answer ahh prediction fr

[@chrisrysz7727]

I remember when you had mentioned that no driver who had been 35th or something and lower in the standings, after the first few races, wouldn’t make the playoffs, in reference to Logano…obviously that had aged as well lol

[@OHIOFARMBOY-kb6fn]

Playoffs are cringe

[@TJracing99]

Playoff defense trumps all bad takes sorry

[@IsaacV24]

Putting Logano in disappointments was not a bad take. His championship was the biggest joke of a championship of all time. Good luck to anyone who considers 7 top 5s, 13 top 10s, 19 top 20s, and a 17.1 average finish to be legitimate championship stats.

[@TheHighRoad1748]

2015:

[@IsaacV24]

@@TheHighRoad1748​​⁠​⁠Here were KFB’s stats for the races he competed in (25 starts): 12 top 5s (almost double what Logano had) 16 top 10s (3 more than what Logano had) 21 top 20s (oh and out of 25 races, that means he at least finished in the top 20 84% of the time while Logano was only 53%) Average finish of 10.76. While I also think KFB qualifying for the playoffs when missing a large chunk of the season is questionable at best, at least he was actually competitive unlike Logano. Logano 2024 is the biggest fraud of a champion in the history of the sport.

[@Duff79]

​@@TheHighRoad17482015 was not a legitimate championship either

[@alextriplett9414]

Guys like Logano and champion like Kyle in 2015 will NEVER be on the same level as Drivers like Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, they won there season by being the best, not by being the luckiest, and until this format changes, I’m not doing another full season.

[@timechanger9162]

I’m still confused why people keep saying “Joey logano and Penske play the system best” when no they don’t. Joey got lucky to even make the playoffs. They didn’t play the game right. Was all luck

[@Franklawson725]

Turkey night grand prix picks anyone?

[@CaseySpecoli]

Kofoid wins after macedo takes himself out is my prediction

[@CaseySpecoli]

Larson could easily win as well

[@NickGreene55]

[@chrisp883]

Great video. Funny and entertaining 👍🏼

[@noahcoleman5556]

Worst take: SVG's Wendy's scheme is not good enough for the top 24. Still not over that, lol.

[@Matt_8000]

When making my playoff predictions, I noted that I usually have Briscoe and Cindric in, but due to their uninspiring 2023, I didn't put them in 9 months later, they were competing for a spot in the Round of 8

[@SantiagoSolis-v1d]

I mean about legacy motor club, Jimmie Johnson has been good at his recent starts at Las Vegas and the championship race, As well as the Charlotte race back in July, Those were his 3 starts in which he did not crash. And I believe they will make a top 20 finish because sometimes they just finish around 30th place but they don’t spin or crash. But in my opinion, The Bristol spring race was actually better than the night race because, In the Bristol spring race, We actually had new leaders. And I was pretty happy when I saw that Kyle Larson got eliminated from the playoffs and did not make the Championship 4 but, Why was Christopher bell eliminated from the playoffs? When he wall-rides at Martinsville, He barely even passed anyone So, He should have made the championship 4.

[@Dirtydeff]

Unless something is announced it's looking more and more like Chandler Smith is not going to have a full time ride for next year. Tricon Garage has a couple openings left so perhaps Chandler signs with them

As far as the RFK bit, you didn't mention that the 17 did win at Watkins Glen, but more importantly Ford as a whole was not running well early on and when BK won at Darlington it was Ford's first win of the season. But otherwise, I get it.

Elliott lagging behind Byron and Larson? Maybe in the wins but Elliott had the 2nd best average finish in the entire series.

Wrong on Larson all year; wrong on Logano all year....some things don't change. Statistics don't win championships, nor do they predict outcomes.

I predicted redeicks rise to championship relevance and Logano making rhe championship 4 BUT i also predicted both noah gragson and Eric jones to make the playoffs so i guess that cancels out 😭😭😭😭😭😭
