“I don’t assume it’s the top, I believe there’s a chance for him. And what my recommendation can be is to, the identical that I stated for a very long time is, go win man. Go win. Go get, go get some wins. As a result of he battled, that is again a very long time in the past, however he battled with Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott within the ARCA collection and he raced with them heads up, he did, he raced in opposition to them and received races and was very aggressive. Now, he kinda skipped Truck Collection and Xfinity and all that, simply type of began racing Cup.
“He obtained a Cup alternative, it was a backmarker workforce, however like he obtained a chance to love race on Sundays so he took it, proper? So, you by no means actually obtained that heat and comfortable feeling that, nicely what’s he in a position to do? Proper? So I believe this is a chance, for him to return down, I believe he ought to return down a collection or two and win. It labored for John Hunter Nemechek for him to construct his legitimacy again up into the game. Cole Custer. And each Cole Custer and John Hunter are each going to get again a chance within the Cup Collection.”
