So starting your own series and run it on midweek dates so you can attend and the following year when that series expands to the weekends keep track of the weekday races points so you can have a championship within a championship isn’t a look at me thing?
I’m not bashing KL in the least and he is without a doubt one of the greatest talents ever but things change.

NO….but I am sure if you look hard enough you can Bad in anyone!

Most look for the positive in Him in ownership in a series…..

Has anyone in the media thought to ask Larson how he and the 57 team plans on running enough races to get a charter??.....Or are we to just assume the 57 will operate under different set of standards?....Sounds like a legitimate question to ask??.....If it has been asked, I am not aware of the answer.

putting someone else in the car for the other races would get the car a charter I think. But not sure his crew chief wants to run sixty times or more.

What driver would want to be in the 57 car, and set when Kyle is in it. Any driver good enough to make a respectable showing has a full time ride.

Have you ever thought that he doesn't really care about the charter system for himself? These charters aren't like F1 where you have to have one in order to enter a car in a series event. The charter system is just a way of rewarding teams that make the series a success through consistent participation. Also, Larson doesn't really need the share of media money that goes to the charter teams. I imagine he'll show up and race when he can and be just as successful as he has already shown he can be.

Yes, I did think about that, but he is not the car owner or at least not the sole owner. I am well aware of how this charter works, its a fair question.

There's a lot of good drivers that would go after these 10-15k races twice a week I bet. Although they race Knox, PA or NARC. Golobic, Kaeding several others. There are also two 57s
