An adult conversation for something so minor would've come from within. Heim had no reason to be THAT pissed. I was at the race. Didn't see the initial rub but definitely saw Heim take swipes at Eckes under the yellow. Heim will either mature and become great, or his temper will ruin him. Fans are already displeased by his behavior. He embarrassed his sponsors and team at Phoenix last year. Just needs to mature as he gains experience and he'll definitely become quite a star.

@IndianaSimracer77 I agree that he has the potential to mature and manage the tempers better, regardless of how angry he was. Most young drivers overreact. At least he didn't throw a punch or hook him this time lol. That's where (IMO) sponsors start getting pissed. My overall point is that call/text messages make it feel similar to "breaking up with your girlfriend on the phone". Better face-to-face.

Eric, stating Hailie is “fearless” and thus deserves to be in a top three series (trucks, xfinity and cup) is a silly take. I can go to our quartermidget track and round up 30 “fearless” kids that don’t deserve a ride in NASCAR. Also, making the statement that Hailie has talent, with a treasure trove of data that argues against you, tells me either you are just trying to be a nice guy that doesn’t want to pile on or you are day drinking. 😂 Shoot it to us honestly, we respect it more. Deegan has been an ABJECT FAILURE in trucks and xfinity. She was not even a top competitor in ARCA. I believe she won three times in two years, in some of the best equipment in ARCA. Btw, her three wins came in a lower or regional ARCA series, ARCA WEST. A series that was not racing the best in ARCA had to offer week in and week out. So to conclude, ✅ Deegan won three races in two years in a division down from the top ARCA series. ✅ Deegan never raced in the top ARCA series championship division. ✅ Deegan did not do anything worth mentioning in her first year in trucks. Including zero wins. ✅ Deegan got a better ride with an established championship caliber team in he 2nd season in the truck series, and did nothing with it. Zero wins. She blamed the drivers for her lack of talent. ✅ Takes an xfinity ride where she is further exposed that her “talent” has limits. Ran in the back all year and was lucky to finish a race. So bad she was fired mid season. Btw, Zero wins. I was a huge supporter of hers coming into stock car racing. I wanted her to be the 1st competitive woman in racing in either of NASCAR’s top three divisions. She lost her way making KZbin videos instead of living in the shop. She played with her toys with her friends bc she never needed racing. She came from money and didn’t have to sleep on other racers couches. But that grind is NOT in her. She isn’t devoted to racing. And that is ok. She doesn’t have to. But let’s call her what she is, a complete bust than makes Danica look good.

He seemed disappointed after the last race that he was under the cutoff line still, but I hope he appreciates how much that gap has closed and does not dwell on where he thinks he should be by now. He needs to stay positive IMO. I found it funny last week after you told me you had more faith in Hamlin at Indy than Alex, and then they both got KO'd in the same wreck, and it was not the fault of either one of them. Seemed like Alex was trying to mimic his strategy for a bit which I thought would be good. Can't help people running into the wall in front of you I guess. Hope you get to enjoy some of the 2 week break, thanks for all the videos you do for us!!

Corey Heim should be with 23xi over Herbst
@willbarbs7735Ай бұрын
Heim didn’t fully recover. Drove up to the top 5 bc he had fresher tires than everyone else but when he restarted upfront with equal tires he fell all the way back to 14th and finished a lap down bc of the damage

Damage may have made some difference, but the rest of Tricon ran 15-20th

If Haas brings in Deegan it has some similar parallel to when they brought in Herbst. Not saying she’ll start competing for wins or anything

Eric Estepp and Everyone what are your plans during the Olympic break?

While I'm not happy that Custer got the seat, I kind of figured it was going to happen because of his dad. I still think he should have stayed in Xfinity for another year or two.

Hailie Deegan to Haas Xfinity team makes sense. Both Hailie and Haas have a strong affiliation with Monster Energy. Change the name above the door on the 98 and the car is track ready. They need to team her with a veteran driver that can help her though.

Why should a veteran driver waste his precious time helping some propped up rich kid. He earned the position she's was handed.

Not a 23XL fan so I definitely hope they hire Herbst over Heim

Eric do you think with the Haas alliance RFK still tries to get a 3rd car?
@AmericanPoliceCamsАй бұрын
After 23/11 spends millions, they have to get it back somehow and hiring a rookie driver with money behind him, while not paying him much for a few years is the way to do it. Then go after a top notch driver. This is why they keep Wallace on.

It wouldn't shock me if Bubba gets dropped within the next 5 years, I get the hype and all, but he's not making the money besdies for sponsors, but eventually sponsor money will run out, and tough decisions will have to be made
@mattcolson9813Ай бұрын
Sure it's not the 8th in championship points last year? Or the top five he literally just got?
@BraydenBunch58Ай бұрын
@@tylerhernandez5234 The only reason i see them dropping Bubba, Is if the team gets better and better, And Bubba is just doing the same thing. Top 15s, Top 10s, But barely getting wins. So they drop him, And replace him with Corey Heim. When he gets ready of course.
@maximumblue8394Ай бұрын
Jordan started this team for Bubba, Bubba brings his own sponsors, Bubba is having much success on and off the track for 23X11, Bubba isn't going to be replaced by no one.

No Complaints on the power rankings. A little harsh on Eckes though.

I feel like Joey Logano should be back in the top 10, yeah he got wrecked at Indy, but if that doesn't happen he's probably there at the end with Blaney and Keselowski

Deegan is not going to perform to their standards. She moved up too fast. Good for a female driver but not on the same level as the rest.
@Jdfuller82Ай бұрын
I think your top 10 is much better this week.
@ngcupseries8344Ай бұрын
I feel like logano should be in there instead of Bubba, as a ligano fan, I don't like Wallace, so there is a little bias there, but I have my reasons. Yes, Logano did wreck which ultimately ended his day, and did almost get lapped by Wallace, but Logano did show a lot of momentum throughout the race, he was running close to, and inside the top ten a lot of the time while he was still competitive. Not only just the top 10. he also ran top 5 at times. I'm just saying. My power rankings. 1. Larson 2. Blaney 3. Reddick 4. Bell 5. Elliott 6. Hamlin 7. Keselowski 8. Logano 9. Byron 10. Bowman

Isn't the Haas factory team just to take one of their charters off the market for the future, when the desired sale price can be achieved? Tony was paid and now we can end Haas in a year or two.
