Ex Hellraiser Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Well, Pro Cup is still used by NASCAR for scouting development drivers. A lot of drivers like Chase Elliott started out there. The upside to Pro Cup is that you only have to be 15 to race in it, so those that have stock car talent almost unanimously start out there.

Gutslab Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Besides Chase, I couldn't find anyone else in the last few years who made his way up through that series. K&N east and west are where most upcoming drivers come from, including Larson, Kwasniewski, Ryan Blaney and Darrell Wallace Jr. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685288-official-nascar-thread/page/4/#findComment-1065236141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Hellraiser Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Joey Logano, Trevor Bayne, Landon Cassill, and Dakoda Armstrong are a few that started in Pro Cup.

Gutslab Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) yes you're right but that's going quite a bit back now...I was just saying that in current times (within last 5 yrs), there have been very few drivers that moved up from pro cup. It would be suicide for a driver to think they could move up the ladder to nascar by racing in pro cup right now. And Landon only made one pro cup start in '08, while Dakoda made two pro cup starts in' 08. The experience they got from pro cup didn't expand their careers. Dakoda shined in ARCA, which is what helped him get noticed. As for Landon, I'm just gonna say he was really rich cause in '07 he had a Hendrick ride in busch as a 17 year old lol Edited April 22, 2014 by pokemon4ever Ex Hellraiser 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685288-official-nascar-thread/page/4/#findComment-1065243305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Hellraiser Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Goddammit! Gordon almost had that one!! So close, oh well. He's still 1st in points, which is a guaranteed spot in the Chase, win or not. theGTAking101 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685288-official-nascar-thread/page/4/#findComment-1065269779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunWrath Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 NASCAR is more entertaining in person rather than television, though a lot of sports are, such as baseball and golf. I haven't been too deep into NASCAR over the last couple years but I used to be a hardcore fan. Racing in general honestly, especially dirt tracks. Sprint cars, go-karts, enduro races.. they're all pretty fun and nice to watch if you're on the track. We have a track here locally that's just superb for dirt track racing. Oglethorpe Raceway, spent many of beer fueled nights there like any redneck would, howling at the drivers, watching pit crew fights and what not. NASCAR has taken a PG-13 approach over the years and has steered me away from it. I'll catch a race every now and then if I have nothing better to do on a Sunday.. either way, Gordon is the f*cking King.

Zepren Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Following all the headlines I'm seeing, I kind of regret skipping the race last night. I've been pretty bad at this whole "watch some nascar" thing. I'm sure I'll get stuck in when it comes to the chase yo.

iRacing Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Most of the tactics of nascar involve drafting. And that's pretty much it Only drafting? Let me guess, you're one of those kids who watches the Daytona 500 and instantly assumes that everything you see must be everything. Am I assuming right?

Ex Hellraiser Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) So guess who won at Kansas for the 3rd time? Gordon, bitch! Hell yeah!! For once, there wasn't an idiot throwing a caution in the last 5 laps to screw it up. He was leading near the end and it was actually able to stay green all the way!

GTA3Rockstar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Him and Dale Jr are my two favorite drivers. Its just too bad he's really just driving around with a name. Not really a fan of NASCAR but I always liked Gordan, I turned it to the race with less than 30 laps and watched it there; first time in awhile.
