I think Larson will be fine. There has been a real string of bad drivers in cup and we haven't seen someone make it to a decent ride on their talent in a while.

As for Gordon I am not really a fan, he does help out some form of short track racing, where as a lot of other drivers don't do a thing
Gordon Returns to Knoxville Raceway

I hope I'm wrong, but I think they're rushing him. I feel he should at least run one more full season on Nationwide, if not more. There have been plenty of promising young drivers before him, with a lot more asphalt and stockcar experience, that never were never successful and quickly due to being rushed into Cup.

Gordon has raised MILLIONS for childrens hospitals, which is more important that or putting $ into short track racing? http://www.jeffgordonchildrensfounda...r_Children.htm

few years back; jack moved carl Edwards from 1st year in trucks to cup. worked out fine!

True and Gibbs move Tony up from BGN to cup after only one full season and before winning there.

Is it a matter of either or? He could easily do both-see post above on $30mm NYC condo.

Are you suggesting that the money he's made isn't really his? That he didn't really earn it and should be obligated have a sprint team, rent rides for Sprint Week, the Chili Bowl, etc.?

IMO, racing didn't really "give" anything to these guys like Jeff. They had to earn everything they've gotten (obviously there are a few exceptions) and should have the right to choose whatever cause they give to. And with Jeff, it's childhood cancer research and care. I say, good for him.

Really sick of the Gordon Bashing, Expecially in a Larson Thread. Jeffs raised and given tens of millions to charities.

Oh and he did put together a Knoxville team a couple years ago with somebody else. But nobody remembers that, Besides the person who put him in racing to begin with has had several Indiana Sprint drivers.

If Larson wants to own a sprint/midget teams Im all for it. But its up to him. What happened to all the KKR and TSR teams? ONE LEFT in Non wing and no midgets. Not that I am bashing at all. But my guess is they're sick of $$$$$$$$$ flyin out the window.

You are right on spot Rich. No one is picking race sponsorship over children. Never seen that said. Gordon could afford both.
