This really did feel like one of the fastest off-seasons ever. Also, no shot Kyle Busch misses the playoffs; as much as I hate him, there's just no chance that could possibly ever happen.
I think Kyle's talent alone will win him a race this year, but I do kind of agree with what he's saying with RCR just not being good enough. Kyle was running 20th at places like Bristol and Martinsville, where he's been great his entire career. Not to mention he could easily fall into trouble with the first 2 rounds of the playoffs being as hectic as they could be. Besides another year of familiarity with RCR, don't see a reason why he makes it further than he did last year.
@@racefan1845 He doesn't have a win, and he's having a terrible year right now. RCR has done him no favors. Not saying Berry will get in, I highly doubt that, but Busch may not make it either.
This is gonna be the first time I watch a full NASCAR season since I was a toddler back in the CoT era. I'm excited to see how much I'm gonna like or dislike all the stuff NASCAR does right and wrong.
@efraincorona6779 I didn't get the time to see the Xfinity or Truck series races at Daytona, but MAN did that Cup series race not disappoint! I don't know how I feel about stage racing yet (haven't watched enough to get a good opinion), but I gotta take a look at the lower division races next time too.
I think the rush 10 car designers were thinking, "What if we had an entirely chrome car?" and didn't know "chrome" doesn't work as a wrap (or paint) and just looks like boring gray. Edit: great video by the way!
No disrespect to elly, but Bowman was the points leader last year before his injury. Which is how he went off the pace of his teamates. If Alex stays healthy he makes the playoffs.
The Todd Gilliland slander is wild. I really like Todd and he’s shown great promise. The 38 isn’t the 34 isn’t an RFK or Penske car. It’s not a great ride and he’s gotten a good amount top tens and laps lead. Zane smith in his starts has been extremely underwhelming. I think FRM made a good choice and becoming a key partner this year improves their chances and hopefully their cars dramatically. I also see the 51 RWR car having an up year too.
I was just thinking to myself last night "it's been about a week since Ely uploaded, wonder if he's dropping the 2024 haters guide tomorrow" Love the series, found your channel because of it. Keep up the great work.
Just past halfway and as an RFK fan I can say that Brad is back and Chris has almost gotten that win but both of them are definitely championship contenders lots of speed the results are the only lacking parts
Coming back to this after the season ended, 12/16 playoff drivers guessed correct is pretty good numbers Ok forgot to correct it, forgot Buescher didn’t make the post season
I mostly agree with the playoff predictions, besides obviously Berry being in and Busch not, except my 16th spot is really vague. Right now it's between Bowman, Suarez, Jones and Briscoe and I do not know who to choose.
There are few things that make me as mad as Blaney and Cindric switching paint schemes, like blaney is the giant neon yellow (beautiful imo) Menards car, and cindric is the discount tire guy, they can’t just switch them.
Watching something that Urinating Tree wouldn't touch while listening to the soundtrack of Ridge Racer 4 (Yes, I noticed that playing in the background) while being more entertaining than both (I said it, I'm not taking it back). Well done.
Front Row Motorsports did make a BIG move this off season, they are now a tier 1 Ford partner and have an alliance with Penske. I'm super excited for their chances this season. Legacy and 23XI have also been doing stuff this off season. RCR will go winless but KFB still makes the playoffs. SHR will go winless again, That team is just dead. Tony Stewart doesn't really care anymore.
Yeah I’m with you on MTJ…. Need coach to invest in the 19 like he does DH and Baby Ty. KL5 and Byron gotta maintain a solid set of runs through the playoffs.
calls austin dillon a silver spoon and goes on and doesn’t talk about him even tho he earned his way to the cup series winning 2 nascar championships coming in the trucks and xfinity series.
Not even an Austin Dillon fan i’m a chastain fan but I completely agree with ya. He’s only hated becuase he drives the 3 car if he drove any number like say the 33 he’d just be another guy in the garage
The Busch and bowman slander is crazy. Bowman was the points leader last year before his back injury. Other than that I pretty much agree with you just replace the SHR duo with Busch and bowman and you get my playoff predictions.
1. Larson at Nashville 2. Byron at Pocono 3. Elliot at COTA 4. Bowman at Dover 5. Hamlin at Daytona 500 6. Gibbs at Richmond 7. Bell at Texas 8. Preece at Martinsville 9. Buescher at Bristol 10. Keselowski by points 11. Blaney at Charlotte 12. Busch at Talladega 13. McDowell at Chicago 14. Reddick at Phoenix 15. Wallace by points 16. Chastain by points First four out will be Truex, Suarez, Smith, and Stenhouse
Just leave KFB out of the playoffs and put in Josh Berry might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Despite the hate KB gets, it doesn't mean that it's gonna stop him from making the playoffs.
i want to know what races Elly is watchig where Todd Gilliland is underperforming in the front row 38 which has never won a race: he had a streak of top 10's in 2023 and so far in 2024 he's doing pretty damn well, running up front at daytona and qualifying fourth at atlanta
The one thing I'd change about your playoff predictions is that there is no way McDowell misses out. FRM is a tier one Ford team now and I could legitimately see Michael popping off a few wins this year.
They need to change the championship points system. But I guess we don’t want a repeat champion every year. A.K.A. Hendrick, JGR, Penske, any thing like that
The stray you hit Larson with on the Noah part is wild 😂. I get what you’re saying, but damn those stories are so different. Noah isn’t about to win 10 races, and we also forget how COVID really magnetized Larson’s dumbass mistake.
imma be honest, it's harder and harder to root for drivers year after year now, all my favs have retired at this point or ruined what good will i gave them
I know compared to a lot of drivers bowman isn’t bad but as a fan of the 48 since I was 3 I really want a championship caliber driver in the seat but it’s seems like that won’t be happening
I feel chevy might lack some speed and fall behind the ford and toyotas overall. Not saying teams like Hendrick are going to falter but I feel like it's not gonna be the same type of dominance in years past.

As a Alex B fan, when they announced the paint scheme, my exact words were: "ironic how being a bowman fan feels like being a pistons fan."

good news for Todd is starting this year FRM is a "Tier One" team for Ford, so he now has the resources to really show what he is made of.
