Dear Kyle Larson, I'm sorry

Dear Kyle Larson,


I'm sorry.  Back and August I published an article on my blog called "NASCAR doesn't need Kyle Larson" and at the time I meant it.  At the time I felt that you had sullied the sport of NASCAR and that there was little to no chance at redemption for what you said and did.   I was wrong.   Clearly I was.  You're back in NASCAR and you have a great deal of support behind you, and I would like to be one of those people who support you and cheer for you.   

I remember when I first saw you in the Truck Series back in 2011-2013-ish, I thought this guy is going to be a Superstar!   Kyle I do want to see you succeed in NASCAR again.   I know you made the biggest and dumbest mistake of your life when you said that word, and I know you regret it.   I do believe you have been genuinely sincere and that you have made efforts to better yourself.

I let my emotions get the best of me, and I should have put more thought into my article before publishing it.  Truth is I'm no saint either.   I am a highly flawed person and need to work on bettering myself too.  In the past I've called people nasty names and insulted their intelligence.  I regret it and wish I could take back some of the things I've said. 

I'm glad you're back in NASCAR, and I hope you have lots of success in your return.   Here's hoping that you have a successful season and continue down the road of redemption.  I'll be pulling for you, and I now look at you as an inspiration for betting myself.   Good Luck at Daytona, and I hope you can forgive me for writing & publishing my previous article.



Sincerely,

Brian Cotnoir

The Top 10 Most Iconic Paint Schemes in NASCAR Cup History An Article by Brian Cotnoir I’ve talked about the Best Paint Schemes in Cup History, I’ve talked about the Best Paint Schemes in Xfinity History, and now today I’d like to present you the 10 Most Iconic Paint Schemes in NASCAR Cup History. 10.) Citgo, Wood Brothers Racing The Wood Brothers are one of the oldest teams in NASCAR, and in the late 80’s early 90’s they left quite the impression on NASCAR fans with the Citgo Paint Scheme which was piloted by drivers Dale Jarret, Morgan Shepherd, and Michael Waltrip.   Citgo eventually left the wood brothers and sponsored Jeff Burton at Roush Racing, but it was a truly iconic sponsor with that famous number twenty-one 9.)    Skoal Bandit, Harry Gant Harry Gant earned the nickname “Mr. September” when he won 4 straight Winston Cup Races (and two Busch Series) races in September of 1991, and he did it all behind the wheel of the Iconic Skoal Ban...

5 of the Most Iconic Sponsors in Auto Racing

  5 of the Most Iconic Sponsors in Auto Racing By Brian Cotnoir Without sponsorship, racing would probably not be as recognized globally as it is today.    From Tobacco to Petroleum, Big box stores and energy drinks & sodas, all have made some impact in racing or another.   Some have been around for decades, while others are relatively new to the sport.   Some sponsor one driver or team, others sponsor multiple drivers, teams and even whole racing series, but no matter how much or how little they choose to sponsor, they have been integral to the sports.   Now just a disclaimer, I am NOT being paid by any of these companies or brands to promote them, this all just merely my own personal opinion. 1.)   Marlboro Auto Racing wouldn’t be where it is today without sponsorship from Big Tobacco.    Tobacco brands like Camel, Gitanes, Copenhagen, and Rothman’s sponsored teams in Formula 1 & IndyCar/CART.    NASCAR was sponso...

Top 10 Ugliest Paint Schemes in NASCAR History

Top 10 Ugliest Paint Schemes in NASCAR History By: Brian Cotnoir I’ve talked about the Best Paint Schemes in NASCAR, and now I’m here to talk about the Ugliest.   Sometimes a paint scheme looks bad because of whose sponsoring the car, and other times it’s a real bad color combination, but whatever the reason these are some of the most hideous Paint Schemes to have ever graced a NASCAR track. 10.)   Dave Marcis, Prodigy paint scheme This one is so ugly, that it’s kind of cool.   For me the big issue is the combination of Purple & Green, and the Neon Orange numbers make it a little better, but this car is still looks like a disaster. 9.)     Joey Logano, AAA Insurance paint scheme Joey Logano has had a number of awesome paint schemes while driving for Roger Penske, however this red, white, and blue monstrosity is not one of them.    I think Logano and Penske should call AAA Insurance and see if they can use their policy to...
