Where does he go from here?

[racefan62]

Hopefully back in the Sprint full time.

[racer111]

Outlaws or Posse member?

[DavyLee2]

Why do you say that ..
posse?
He’s from California
full time sprints ? Pocket change !!
Did the board of directors take Away chip Ganassi credit card ??

All over a racing GAME. These drivers, because of sponsorships have to play a game. There, the drivers, are getting frustrated over some guys that can't keep the cars going straight. Didn't Bubba just shut his computer off the week before and walked away ? That move cost him a sponsor.

Ganassi released him so he didn't lose mcDonalds.

Go sprint car racing kyle, be happy, I think he'll be one of the best.

[racer111]

Yes Bubba lost the Blu Emu sponsor because he decided to quit playing a video game...I will never succumb to watching a video game...I watched a few laps of Knoxville the other night...couldn't take it and turned it off...

 

I said posse because if he moved here or raced here full time then he would become a posse member...not an outlaw member.

[D1RT]

His contract/sentence is up soon with Ganassi.
He'll be in a Stewart/Haas Ford when it's all said and done....

[racer67x]

he thought he was talking to a friend from what I saw and didn't use the term racially or to belittle anyone...does the punishment justify the crime?

[3 link]

this topic has been beat to death on facebook............the best one I saw was his finances amount to about 12 mil.........if he invests wisely he can have about a half mil a year and never touch the principle ......that and other investments in business will make a pretty good dirt track career ......and leave nascrap in the dust "no pun intended".........

[username@gatekeeper]

Going to see lots of sponsors try to cut loose from there obligations by any means possible...Time to put down the JOYSTICK and do something constructive..He is a big boy he will SURVIVE..He could retire tomorrow and RACE GARDEN TRACTORS and live comfortably rest of his life....

[racer111]

I believe that he could end up with Tony Stewart...Tony doesn't seem to fit in with NASCAR's mold very well...true he has 12 million or how much ever in the bank but he wants to race...and not necessarily NASCAR.

[realgearhead5y]

Its amazing how sensitive we are to everything these days.........Now I am not saying that I appreciate that word or that kind of language but we have all said things in the heat of the battle (yes even during video games) that don't really reflect who we are but to lose your job over it seems a little blown out of proportion........This has become a world over over reactions and hopefully I'll make the news with my over reaction...........its loosing its appeal.....bigtime....totally ridiculous...

[D1RT]

I would not be surprised on bit that Larson's phone is blowing up with offers from more than just NASCAR owners. He's still young enough and definitely talented enough to peak the interest of Indy Car and F-1 teams.

[Hot Dog]

Im a huge Kyle Larson fan, but those of you saying heat of battle or its just a video game, should probably watch the clip. He was trying to be funny thinking no one could hear him because was on the wrong channel. He messed up, and hes gonna suffer for it for a while. Im not saying I dont say obnoxious things, because I do pretty regularly. But I havent signed contracts with outs for offensive actions and Im not in the public eye. He just has to ride it out and hope a sponsor is willing to take a chance on him.

[racer111]

It's blown out of proportion...just like this virus thing is blown out of proportion...so OK back to the N word...why don't we do something or complain about RAP singers? They say it constantly...plus degrade women etc etc etc...how is that OK? But one word said in a video game isin't OK?

[racer111]

By the way...I'm not condoning his actions...just asking the question...

[Hot Dog]

Youre held to a different standard as soon as you sign on the dotted line for a high dollar race team. Its pretty simple. As far as the rapper thing, if you really believe thats apples to apples theres not much I can say to help you. Its not a matter of whether they can or cannot use it, you just have to know that you cant use it. End of story. Whataboutism doesnt help anyone.

Your missing the boat !
It’s not a joystick! It’s a steering wheel .. Sprint car racing is dangerous and pocket change to running last in nascar !
Iracing is the same as real racing except when you hit the wall it doesn’t hurt and with the push of a button you have a new car .. but Bubba And now Larson know it’s no game !!
I’m predicting your gonna realize the whole world has changed since this Covid19 scare

[racer111]

You are correct...life as we knew it a few weeks ago is over...I hope that the new norm is NOT video game racing...I for one will never buy into video game racing over the real thing...and it is not the same as real racing.

[username@gatekeeper]

Getting up and going to work everyday is just as dangerous as racing nowadays..If you have a job after this pandemic..Let go of your joy stick Davylee!!!!!!
