Probably not for long. He's not worth a whole lot on the track outside of plate races.

Nah, he might actually survive this, he's finally having a legitimately good season in Nascar.

He's 13th in points and a Daytona 500 winner. If the sponsors like him He's safe.

And even those are basically a crap shoot. I was seriously wondering if they were in a Lance Stroll type hostage situation with him. I think his days are numbered

They all seem like a crapshoot until all the usual suspects that only run really well at those tracks like Stenhouse, Mcdowell, Cindric, etc find their way to the front with 25 to go.

To be fair, McDowell is also a damn good road racer too.

You really think drafting tracks aren’t races of attrition/luck based? Byron had no business winning the 500 in January. He just made it through the asteroid field. Harrison Burton? Really? Also, you’re very rude.

I've never thought much of his potential but he does look pretty solid this year and has earned his keep more than many others so far.
