Bubba on the pole is not what I wanna see before a 7 hour road trip lol

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I personally wanna see him win I mean, his attitude has gotten a bit better if you ask me, and this is shaping up to be his best year yet. Like right now he’s tied for the his most top 5s, top 10s and poles in a season.

2022 and 2023 both he got 5 top 5s and 10 top 10s. Which is what he currently has. He also got a pole in each of those seasons. Now if he can just get a win, it will be his best season yet. I think that’s part of why his attitude seems to be improving, because he’s actually running good finally. Is he perfect? Nah. But he’s not nearly as bad attitude wise as he was, and I feel he deserves credit for that.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Eh he was doing his usual pity shit after last week. Plus, my first Darlington trip ending in a bubba win would be a nightmare for me.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

with all due respect, what’s the problem with that? I mean, I guess since I deal with mental health problems like he does, I don’t see a problem with something he can’t you know help? I meant like he’s not getting mad at folks, wrecking people, and acting like that. Being hard on himself is something he can’t help, I’m the same way.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

There’s a time and a place. When he does his “woe is me” bs in interviews, I think it comes across as being a pity whore. I mean, I’ve got a laundry list of mental health issues, but I’m just not into the whole begging for sympathy every time you get near a mic.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I guess I just look at things differently, cause he could be far worse. I’m always hard on myself, and blame myself for lots of shit I probably shouldn’t, but I can’t help it. I apologize all the time for stuff that people aren’t even upset about with me as well. It’s not looking for pity or sympathy, it’s just how certain people brains are wired. You deal with mental problems, but not the same ones he does, so you can’t understand his brain, just like someone who doesn’t deal with what you do can’t understand your brain. Like I get it, I’m sure it’s gets annoying, and tiring, just like I’m sure my friends get with me sometimes, but take it from someone who’s just like him, we wish we could turn it off. I’m not saying that you have to like him. But understand like I said, it’s not something he does just to do it.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

And I’ll respectfully disagree. I think these guys have so many people coaching them on how to act in interviews that he knows exactly what he’s doing.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Feel free to think however you want, I just feel I have a better understanding of it. But it is what it is. Gonna go wait on my friends to be ready so we can watch Bash at Berlin since they are home now.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Enjoy it!! Super fun show!

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Think he fell asleep. So it’s gonna be awhile lol. Guess I’ll start the race from the start and maybe get caught up

Florida's playing like shit, and they're at home against Miami. They're down 31-10.

 

[Doom]

yea, this has been painful to watch as a Gators fan lol

Sheldon Creed can't catch a break. Just really sucks. Any time he comes close to winning a race it feels like a caution comes out, everyone pits and that screws it up for him. UGH.

I would legit love somebody to do a breakdown of how many times it’s happened to him.
