Kanaan has worked (not bought) his way to the top. He came from a poor family and his father died when Tony was only 13 years old. He went to work at that time to earn money to feed his family and swept floors in a karting shop just to be near racing and to get his start.
I have respect for a guy like this and with him now running a dirt late model at Eldora, my respect for him has gone up even higher.
