A guy like Larson would have no issue getting funding for a one-off and it's highly unlikely he would be stepping into a mid pack or worse team or a one-off project, Andretti, as an example, is a team that has continually expanded for this race. I know this isn't going to go down well here, but the fact is that if you are spending money to compete over here a guy that runs nothing but dirt ovals for the most part is not where you are looking, there is plenty of proven talent in RTI, the European ladder, sports cars, etc. with established records and backing and don't have to learn to road race in these cars. The days of waiting for someone to call you are, for the most part, long gone and taking things into your own hands by looking for backing, taking the proper developmental path, etc. is something the Eurocentric drivers have long been ahead of as far as it pertains to their American peers who just truly now making strides in.
The fact is the road to this series and race exists if drivers here truly want to take it, it will just mean having to get out of the comfort zone. |
Yeah, Just what is Larsons Comfort Zone?
Won, USAC Sprints, Champ Cars and Midgets
Won all three classes four Crown
Won many WoO Sprints
Constantly beats PA posse.
Won All three divisions of Nascar
Won Lucas LM's second race in the car and several other since.
Won 24hrs of Daytona.
Some practice with a good team and I'd put him as a threat to win first time out.
Problem with Indycar The don't wan't a racer They want a robot.
Bunch of Dirt oval racers were doing 230 thirty years ago at Indy.
You seem to think somethings changed that they can't now.
