    Eric is rating based on a combination of on-track performance and off-track successes. Wallace, driving for a pretty mediocre team, had a great season for what RPM could’ve feasibly done, which would’ve given him around a B alone, but off-track events have helped bump his score. RPM isn’t some race-winning outfit like you say it is. It’s been 6 years since they last scored a win, and even with that win, in 2014 Almirola had a lower average finishing position than Wallace did this year. Wallace has become a very recognizable name in the world outside of NASCAR and attracted a score of new sponsors. He leveraged all of that into what looks to be a very competitive ride with 23XI.

    These nascar content creators have some kind grudge against Preece. He proved his worth many times throughout the year but was chastised for not being consistent. The only thing that stopped him from being consistent was bad luck and equipment failures. They’re just absolutely oblivious to the bad luck and I don’t get it. He doesn’t get a fair rap, the talent is there he just needs some things to go his way. Not to mention the fact he was dealing with a whole new team and Stenhouse struggled many times in the same equipment throughout the season I just don’t get it. In 2021 he will turn some heads, I can’t wait!!

    For my guy Ryan Blaney, I say he deserves a C+ This was by far the most competitive he's been in his career, however, their bad luck and failure to capitalize on wins this season did them in. There is a silver lining to: their biggest weakness, not being able to finish out races, was improved on in the playoffs after they were eliminated. They got 6 top 10 finishes, and were stating where they were running. With that momentum, they should be a threat next year

    Eric is rating based on a combination of on-track performance and off-track events/successes. Wallace, driving for a pretty mediocre team, had a great season for what RPM could’ve feasibly done, which would’ve given him around a B alone, but off-track events have helped bump his score. He’s become a very recognizable name in the world outside of NASCAR and attracted a score of new sponsors. He leveraged all of that into what looks to be a very competitive ride with 23XI.

    I'd pump the brakes a little bit. 2311 racing may eventually win one, and Jordon has a deep pocket. However it takes some time to build a race team. I have a feeling it's going to be more of a furniture row level team. And the shine will wear off of budda, and Jordon will likely sale. That's just my thoughts about it. Becay think about it. If that stuff didn't happen at Texas. Bubba wouldn't have gotten all those sponsors, and Jordon wouldn't be building a race team. I feel like this is more of a PR stunt for Jordon. Because also this was the first year MJ started to take a stand for the whole racial business. He's always been hush hush. Now I do think this is Bubba's opportunity. If hes going to have to be a top 10 racer and not a mid 25. I know that has more to do with RPMS and not budda. He's a good driver, but they're really putting a lot on him. I hope he shows out and finally takes that step, but I say pump the brakes. Don't put all the pressure on him. Let the team develop, and go from there. Chase won the championship, but it seems like Bubba won the season. IMO

Denny Hamlin- A- 5th. Kevin Harvick- A (as close to an A+ as possible, need a championship for that) 6th. Alex Bowman- C 7th. Martin Truex Jr.- B- 8th. Kyle Busch- C+ 9th. Ryan Blaney- C 10th. Kurt Busch- C 11th. Austin Dillion- C- 12th. Clint Bowyer- C- 13th. Matt DiBenedetto- C- 14th. William Byron- C 15th. Aric Almirola- C 16th. Cole Custer- B- 17th. Eric Jones- D+ 18th. Jimmie Johnson- D 19th. Tyler Reddick- C 20th. Christopher Bell- C- 21st. Chris Buescher- C 22nd. Bubba Wallace- D+ 23rd. Michael McDowell- D+ 24th. Ricky Stenhouse- D+ 25th. Ryan Newman- D 26th. Ty Dillion- D 27th. John Hunter Nemechek- D 28th. Matt Kenseth- F+ 29th. Ryan Preece- D 30th. Corey Lajoie- D- 31st. Daniel Suarez- F 32nd. Brennan Poole- F+ 33rd. Quin Houff- F

    Good take. Only think off on the 37 Preece because he usually ran ahead of faster cars, got wrecked and had equipment failures way too often, and lost positions on pit stops. So I see a crew chief and money issue. JTG focused on 47. Plus Stafford is close. Was actually surprised the Bell vs Jones was just as seen from this seat. However Bell does have tendency to self destruction. The 48 and 42, only unknown from this end is the issue aging eyes or all the new talent. My thought was eyesight. A 72 year old friend who actually got me into the sport and has more years owning, crew chief, and team member experience than anyone younger than 40 something says otherwise. Looking forward to the future !

Of course my guy Chase Elliott gets an A+. Also considering everything that was placed on Bubba's shoulders and his performance in an underfunded team I'll agree on that one too. Then finally there's #MyManMatt (Kenseth). Heartbreaking 😭 is the only way to describe it. I too had really high expectations for him. I so wanted him and Jimmie to win my heart just broke 💔.

    What is Eric smoking? He grades Bubba Wallace an A for the 20/20 season in NASCAR.He only went up three positions in the final standings from his previous year with a Richard Petty small budget team. I remember Alan Kulwicki had a small budget team and won the NASCAR championship. I guess, relatively speaking, Alan Kulwicki would receive a grade of 20 A's. Eric, obviously is not qualified, objectively, to grade NASCAR drivers.
