Haley: will try his best Ware: burning in hell where he belongs

​@@Dupontman627I hate Cody Ware.

I fully expect Haley to have a downturn in performance next year. Maybe not a drastic one but somewhat noticeable

Average Elliott fan moment@@24BEARCATS24

Cody ware should be in a rick ware car in the acra series because that there more wreck for him

Now they’re essentially an extension of RFK and from what I have heard Brad has a lot of say over what goes on at rwr since they’re in the same building using the same employees I think RWR is going to see a big jump in performance in 2024

Cody is most likely going to the 15 or if they add the 52 or 53 back

@@PrimeRacingNetworkthey won’t add more charters I hope bc they need to use that money into a good driver other than Haley and more equipment

From the way RWR made it sound last year after Cody's arrest they won't be having him come back but u never know they may have changed their mind

@@themanofdoge399that was such bullshit because she instigated the whole thing to use it to destroy his career and advance her bank account. She was the one that was abusive and she even confessed to breaking her hand on his face. But unfortunately the truth is sloooooooow.

exactly i feel shitting on yeley has just become a meme at this point hes a genuinely good guy from the times ive talked to him

JJ Yeley is still a joke and that doesn't say much about him. The defense of him makes no sense when the experiment of him failed badly.

Taking mark martin out of his last competitive championship season by pitting from the middle of the track is hard to forget

@@COCarDude everyone makes extremely stupid mistakes eventually

I don't see them as a laughing stock. They have the ability to show up and even get into a race. Line up all the people who say they're a laughing stock and find out how many of them could drive a cup car at all let alone qualify against teams like Hendrick or SHR. They show up and that's respectable entirely.

@@MidTennPews can’t wait to see them nowhere but up!

It would tear the NASCAR community apart as a has been wins in equipment they thought was a never would and i would totally live it up to the max because it would prove again and again that TRD and Gibbs just isn't a smart way to go into nascar because either you will be rushed.....or never ever get a chance at cup

you mean first win in nascar right? because they’ve won in literally everything else except

That would be incredible. Here I’ll go have an AI create a short story where that happens. One second…. “In the heart of a sun-drenched Sunday, the roar of engines reverberated through the grandstands as fans eagerly anticipated a race that would etch its mark in NASCAR history. J.J. Yeley, a seasoned driver with dreams of victory, found himself at the wheel of the No. 52 Rick Ware Racing (RWR) machine. Rick, the determined owner of the team, had poured years of passion into the sport, yearning for that elusive first Cup Series win. The day began with hope in the air as the green flag unfurled, signaling the start of a race that would prove unforgettable. As laps unfolded, Yeley skillfully navigated the high banks, making strategic moves that showcased his prowess on the track. The competition intensified, and with each turn, the dream of victory seemed within grasp. The No. 52 car, adorned with RWR colors, became a symbol of tenacity and ambition. In the final laps, J.J. Yeley found himself leading the pack. The crowd erupted in cheers as he crossed the finish line, securing his first-ever NASCAR Cup Series win. Simultaneously, Rick Ware, watching from the pit box, couldn't contain his emotions. Tears of joy welled in his eyes as he witnessed his team's monumental achievement. The victory lane celebration was nothing short of legendary. Yeley, draped in the checkered flag, stood beside Rick Ware, the camaraderie between driver and owner radiating. The RWR crew, a tight-knit family, joined the celebration, their cheers echoing through the racetrack. Amid the confetti and cheers, Rick Ware reflected on the journey that led to this historic moment. It was a triumph not just for J.J. Yeley but for a team that had persevered, faced challenges, and, against all odds, emerged victorious. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the racetrack, the story of J.J. Yeley's first win and Rick Ware's inaugural Cup Series triumph entered the annals of NASCAR folklore, a tale of passion, resilience, and the sweet taste of victory.”

I bet they’ll run him part time. But I agree they should just find a role for him at RWR where he would fit the best. That’s not driving.

@@OliverWGreene kaz grala has 25 races. I like that.. I’m hoping Cody doesn’t get in the car. I’d rather have herbst in the car. Curious to see who’s in it throughout the season

I agree. He needs way more seat time. Maybe Jensen on the road courses? Newman really didn’t impress in his starts.

No Yeley shouldn't even be in the sport any more we should've moved on from him years ago but we haven't.

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld guy keeps cars clean and gets most out of his cars underfunded teams love him

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld and still pulls sponsors

I think James Davison, Jenson, Andy Lally, Joey Hand or A Ford factory driver in IMSA could be competitive on road courses.

Remember. Nascar told rwr - 15 and 51. Spire 77. Live fast 78. Perform or lose charters. Rwr brought in personnel behind the scenes, brought in better shop guys, hired custer, button, newman. Then signed Haley . Spire? They didn’t change anything for Ty Dillon. He sucked. Now Hocevar and Zane smith I think are doomed. Live fast sold their charter to spire. I honestly think spire will lose a charter because sure the 7 for lajoie is decent. The 77 isn’t. Now with a 3rd car? The spire team even bought kbm truck teams. Throwing money but not hiring anyone to improve the equipment. Live fast will probably just be a daytona, talladega, road course team. Nothing more. Haley will be a top 30 guy in points. I honestly can see him be top 25. If I had to predict his highest potential point finish I can see, 23rd His worst I can see 26th And what is good is rwr is bringing in personnel with a good background and liked in the garage. Rick ware is not bringing in people with a bad reputation or history of arguing. Hell, they signed a few crew guys to make their pit stops faster. I’m very impressed with their off season moves. Spire and live fast drop the anchor while rwr is going for gold in the back of the pack with those teams having bronze

⁠@@Denverbroncos87I’m glad someone else said this. I think spire is going to take a step back next year. They’ve expanded SO much and SO fast. I’m worried they have expanded too quickly and will be running in the back due to speed. I think Zane Smith is overhyped and won’t do anything next year and hocevar and Lajoie will have their moments but not live up this this year. I’m betting an RWR car will finish ahead in points of at least 1 spire car next year.

@@Pigeongamer_ exactly. I see the same. Haley will to me finish better in points than Zane smith and Hocevar. Spire doing a driver change of Dillon to Hocevar maybe improving the 77 average finish by maybe a spot or 2 but they didn’t bring in anyone to improve pit stops, or some guys for the shop or anyone. Buying kbm truck organization and the shop only means they made purchases. Of the shop, team, equipment. Not employees. Lajoie will be the best spire car. But barely beats Haley in points. My prediction. Lajoie will finish 1 spot better than Haley. I thought McLeod having Harvick and other cup guys drive his xfinity equipment at road courses would help him improve his organization. It didn’t. Harvick said he gave advice to kyle Busch who didn’t listen. Harvick mentioned last season that he gave McLeod advice but McLeod wants to do it his own way and won’t take any advice. I get it, he wants to get there on his own, but Harvick as an owner was very impressive in truck and xfinity. McLeod to ignore the advice, I am not surprised he sold the charter. Maybe he figured spire will lose a charter soon and try to regain it? Shr is starting to drop too. Honestly. Trackhouse, 23xl, and Rfk want to expand on teams. I say either make the field size be 43 again or give more charters, plus make the field size bigger. That’s my idea for that.

@@Denverbroncos87 I agree. I think SHR will rebound next season. Maybe 2-3 wins as an organization but I think spire might end up selling their charter back at some point. They’re just expanding too fast. It can’t be good for them. And to your other point I think Lajoie will also beat Haley but I’d say maybe 2-3 spots instead. He’s been improving a lot and we have to remember Haley will still be in RWR equipment and Lajoie is going to be getting the best spire has to offer

Holy shit you ain't gotta go that far

Oh my god dude the timing just awful

This

​@Joshuathefunguy57 those defending Cody can burn with him

@@johnhaas2523 do we know what team?

Going by average driver rating, he did slightly better than Bilicki, Smithley and Gase.

He definitely improved a little bit in 2022, but in 2021 it was so obvious how far off Cody Ware was in pace. I’m sure the parity of the cars had something to do with that, but gosh that dude was either a wrecking ball or a moving chicane.

@@kevinlittrell3407 He was the team's top finisher 11 times in 2021, most of anybody that year. Smithley was top finisher 8 times, Davison 7 and Bilicki only 5. The first half of the year was pretty dreadful, but by the team's (very low) standards, he improved to an okay degree.

Or Kevin Conway

Cole custer at New Hampshire

Joey hand and jenson button- road courses

Unfortunately Takuma Sato is basically perma-linked to Honda, so don't expect him in a NASCAR car unless Honda joins the series.

@@ianwhite2264 it would still be nice to see maybe he can run the Brickyard 400 at Indy.

@@ianwhite2264 jenson button. A man who said in the early 2000s- he’d never race in any other series… He’s raced in many now. So never say never. Plus. You obviously forgot sato came from formula 1 before Indycar. Oh and his name is sato not Soto. At least get his name right

How's Suarez a bust? He's got a legit win...sure there's better drivers but he's not a bust...but he was better last year.

He’s better off in a toy car

Cody's good enough for Trucks. Maybe they could talk Timmy Hill into letting him drive his truck?

I watch the IMSA races, and the team (with Cody as a co-driver) is competitive in the LMP2 class

He has potiental upside to do it but it's gonna be tough.

Yes and no. He admitted he put his hands on her. She admitted she put her hands on him. In court, they couldn’t stop yelling at each other. Even when the judge tried numerous times to get order in the courtroom. I would have been after 3 minutes… i give the judge credit for having patience to deal with it all for countless hours… Cody and his ex dropped everything because they literally took multiple steps backwards in court. So…. He only got reinstated because all the charges got dropped to himself and to her… He hasn’t proved to me he’s a good person. A good person doesn’t put his hands on a woman, and then in court, can’t shut up when the judge tries to get a word in..

I don't think rick ware has an xfinity series team anymore

I’ll say

Ikr and the defense of him is Even more bizarre.
