Bros been dropping some of the best well produced nascar content and yet still a hidden gem 💎

[@Taylay7573]

Agreed

[@manleyfgc7981]

meh, i mean its just clips thrown together with some quick summaries. Doesn't really push any envelopes or anything special

[@Dae52]

Kyle Larson is the Ayrton Senna archetype. One second he does something on the track that leaves you thinking "There's no fucking way he just made that work" and then twenty minutes later you're thinking "That was fucking stupid", but you always know wherever that car finished, he got 100% out of it and probably did some damage trying to get more than that 100% out of it in the process. If you need an idea, watch Days of Thunder. That's Kyle Larson.

[@tamezzodiac2862]

Tbh that Dillion crash was not just on Larson. Larson was coming and Dillion just ran into him. Seemed like a bad mistake by both.

[@therealtechfromheaven]

Ty could've should've been a truck champ but Larson pulled a classic Pro Gamer move ®

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

I really would only understand Dillon cutting down so hard if it was the last lap and he was making a desperate move. Also Larson had no business forcing the issue with any of the championship contenders in that way. Sadly when Ty was racing at the sharp end, he didnt show much respect to many other drivers. So it's no surprise he doesn't get any in return - and his career has really suffered as a result. Just like another Ty more recently!

[@dutchmckracken9025]

The purest talent of this generation. I love Kyles resilience and drive. He pushes everything out of himself, his team, and equiptment. As a fan I hope he never changes. For all the bad when its good its great. Thats why we love him and why we have stuck by him through all the ups and downs. Lets go #5

Nah HMS been hemmoraging due to the lack of real sponsorship, Jeff said so at the start of the year It's not hard to connect the dots

[@Eliteprecision29]

He's really fun to watch which is why i been a fan of his even before he came to cup but its definitely been a lot of tough moments being a fan of his. He doesnt have the best of luck and he makes a lot of mistakes. If he can just dial it back by just 1% he can end up being one of the most dangerous drivers in field by a lot. 2021 showed the best version of Kyle larson and if he can consistently be like his 2021 self the field better look out

[@cito1101]

In the words of Jeff Gordon "Modern day Mario Andretti"

[@RooneyMac]

Jeff also was bitching publicly at the beginning of the year that HMS is hemmoraging due to the lack of sponsors. It's easy to connect the dots. And no, he's no mario Andretti. Y'all said that about Trevor for his fluke in 2011 and that one fell his ass down to a COFFEE SHOP

[@FormerlyYBMT]

@@RooneyMacI don’t recall anyone saying that Trevor Bayne was his generations’ Mario Andretti.

​@RooneyMac bro what? Larson actually has a championship...and one where it was legitimate as the best car all year.

[@Carsboy95]

He is not the next Mario Andretti. Mario Andretti doesn’t constantly put people in the wall for no reason. Mario didn’t miss the pit row so bad that he hit the pit wall.

This whole thing goes to show how Larson has the worst luck in Cup. He's the best driver in the field, and there were some growing pains, but he's a threat every season

[@therealtechfromheaven]

He def should have more wins, but I believe that no more championships.

[@zzz6valvoline]

@@therealtechfromheaven He literally almost got the championship with the worst car in the final four.

[@ATK10155]

*laughs in 2021 champion* *cries in 2022 season*

[@seen48]

He’d probably have over 30 race wins if not for some aggressive driving, getting moved out of the way on the last lap etc. I’m so glad he was able to sign a deal with HMS. Once Jimmie retired I was not sure who I was going to cheer for. Made it pretty easy once he signed!

[@JackCallSports]

I’m so surprised people don’t remember the 2012 incident with Ty Dillon That was so unbelievably stupid by him

[@JackCallSports]

@@crimson_insel had to defend his position though And he could’ve raced ty better considering he’s racing for a championship and Kyle wasn’t

It's called little man syndrome. When you're a teeny tiny whittle guy you tend to stay angry and compensate with over-ambition and ego.

[@leenewmeyer7269]

The amount of people that still criticize him like he’s the only person that makes mistakes is insane to me. Every driver makes mistakes. Kyle’s happens to be rooted in aggression, I’d sure as heck rather make a mistake trying to win than make bonehead mistakes just driving around…

This is honesty to they need to make a Netflix documentary for NASCAR, a series of episodes and each episode follows a driver's upcoming for the first half of the episode and the second half how they did last season. Can really feel the heart in this. Good job, I tip my hat to you, sir.

[@mono-no-aware.Lem.]

absolutely criminal of you to not include his 2013 Bristol Xfinity finish with Kyle Busch

[@thetechfromheaven]

I always wondered how things would've turned out if he never said the Pro Gamer word. Maybe he would've spent his 2021 still in CGR and never won that championship, or maybe he would've ended in SHR. Whatever that was, I think It was better for his current career to say It.

[@coldbloodedkillgore]

I would not be surprised if that '21 car was cheated up in the same way SHR was in '18 (reading between lines in rulebooks). Hendrick risked a lot to get Larson on board - potentially damaging sponsor relations. Maybe Larson was just driving out of his mind.

[@RooneyMac]

And still can't land any real sponsors 😂🤣😂 Jeff was bitching at the beginning of the year how much HMS was hemmoraging cuz the lack of sponsors, it's easy to connect the dots

My dad became a fan of Kyle Larson in 2016 after Jeff Gordon retired. He always said it best, Larson was outperforming equipment and he had the worst luck ever.

I watched him race 360 sprints in Placerville i will say one thing he can drive on dirt

[@shaneclark6993]

Larson has always pushed hard. He’s always gave it all every race he’s ran. Even in bad races where most racer would have given up, he’s come back and got a top 10 or top 5. He leaves it all on the track. He’s always gotta the most if not more out of every car he’s driven

[@88crazydriver]

Second he said homestead I already knew why. Any track he can hug the wall on has to be one of his favorites. No one can run the wall like him

[@LucasTA26]

Kyle Larson is the Dude!

[@Vader96]

Yes he can ruin races that he very well could win, but then it wouldnt be the same Kyle Larson we all know. Thats what makes Larson, Larson. Everybody seen what happened to Chastain after he was forced to change the way he drives. Sure he could let up a little bit, but the reason he is where he is today, is because of how aggressive and daring he is. If he has a normal career of around 20 years, driving with the elite team he is on now, i dont doubt he will have 70+ wins and a few more cups.

[@DrSamwpepper]

The reason why we go so hard on Larson making a mistake conpared to other drivers is because he gets constantly dubbed as "the best driver in the world" and keeps getting D-rode no matter what. Dude could place a cup down on a table and larson fans would go"so majestic,nobody does it better" People are actually predicting him to win the indy 500 despite having no experience in indycar, like its insane.

And despite my dislike of him he seems really… unable to make decisions in the moment. It was one year at Auto Club they were waiting for practice to start and he was one of 10 or so cars. He was the only one with his car still running for the 5 or so minutes. It didn’t start pushing water but just little nonsense like that. He spoils himself

[@connorbingel7134]

My favorite driver is brad K. Brad is very talented but he’s not a Kyle Busch or a Larson or even an Elliot. He is however really smart. He races like he’s playing chess. It’s why he’s so good at the super speedways. He pays attention to what others are doing and he looks for patterns. He waits to make his move and when he does finally make his move it’s very aggressive and he gets it done. Larson is the opposite. He gives it 110% all the time and doesn’t understand conservation. He never pays attention and makes rookie mistakes all the time. He’s extremely talented but honestly a dumb racer. He was great when the cars were easy to drive(gen 6) now he gets punished for his mistakes and it’s hurting his finishes. He also keeps pissing people off like chastian and Elliot

[@mistertheking]

Larson has fallen upwards at every turn it feels. Went from a Toyota development driver to driving for a championship Truck Series team to the same team in Xfinity capable of winning a championship there, to a Ganassi team on the brink of resurgence until his firing in 2020, where he then found his way into the best team for 2021. He's never been great at any point with the exception of his 2021 season, and considering the negative things he's done vs the positive things he's done, I really don't see why he even got to the position he is. I'd consider him the luckiest driver in NASCAR history.
