With the Cup Series into the summer stretch and the playoff picture starting to take shape, figured I'd see who else around here follows it.
What I really love is how many of the Cup guys still come from β and go back to β dirt. Kyle Larson is the obvious one; the dude will run a sprint car or a dirt late model any night he can find one, and you can tell it makes him better on Sundays. Makes you wonder why more of them don't get their hands dirty in the off weeks.
So β who's your driver this year, and do you think a short-track and dirt background still matters in today's Cup garage? And be honestβ¦ would you rather watch a packed Saturday night at Swainsboro or a Cup race on TV? π
