He is already good at turning left and cutting out other cars. He will fit right in. LOL

Sandwich him between Blaney and Larson. Larson on the high side and Blaney below. Sounds like fun. Too bad Tony Stewart retired. That's a driver with some wisdom to share with TG17.


Unless he gets some preferential treatment, he will have to make it through the Camping World Trucks and Xfinity series seasons before he gets a shot at the Cup cars. With his fast track success in NHRA, I don't know if he has the patience to survive the round-round world.

Tanner can do no worse than some of the drivers they have now. I agree this is bad PR for the class which lately seems to have teams helping cars for filling out the fields. Imagine the past champion leaving drag racing! (Any conspiracy folks out there?:-)

If all Nascar races were like that I would actually watch it.

Just remember Tanner was racing in circles long before he came to NHRA.

No one can deny that the kid is the best driver in the class right now. They make plenty of power as well. Nascar is a whole bunch different than Pro Stock. Much more of a team effort. Hopefully he can be equally successful over there. The truck class is mostly young men like Tanner so he should fit in real good over there. One of my good friends that I grew up with son raced the truck series for about half of the season this year. Robbie Lyons. He actually ran pretty good at a few races but could not get enough sponsor money to continue.
The story in print is about TG, but I have to believe Gray Motorsports is making a business decision. The rest of the qualifiers, happy to see him go, might be making new plans of their own.

Tanner , is a spoiled little BRAT. He needs some Humble pie to eat. He is not mature enough to fight off the press and humble himself. Can he drive, yes. So what. What good is it without sportsmanship!?. Next on the list is Steve Torrence. Terrible sportsman!!!!! He gives the worst interviews I have ever seen. He thinks everyone else is a joke the way he talks. Just an opinion. NHRA has wrecked pro stock. You all know it's about the money and who has the most of it. Bring back the carburetors. Maybe theY should put (AUTOMATICS IN THEM TOO). :rolleyes:

Well said... he's not a likable kid that's for sure. There isn't a humble bone in his entire body. I guess that's what happens when you come from billionaire grandparents. He is in need of an attitude adjustment.

I agree! At Indy every single pro driver waived to the fans as they were towed up the return road, not this kid. He sat in the passenger seat of the golf cart, head down looking at his phone and completely oblivious to the fans. As I said before he will fit right in with Kyle Busch over there.

Good Post ! He could NEVER fill Bob Gliddens, Grumpy Jenkins, Dick Landy's, or Ronnie Sox's shoes !
