And here we go, the same old 60 year old argument....
Has this guy bothered to check out the Indy Lights entry list for the Freedom 100 with Windom and Hamilton Jr. on it? Wait a minute, does Hamilton Jr. count because he hasn't run that much dirt, or that much of his racing has been in a winged pavement sprint car???
If he thinks these guys (current IndyCar drivers) are Nancy's just because they haven't turned a lap at Kokomo or Gas City well, it just shows the mentality of the individual.... If he thinks Kannan and Helio aren't true badasses in a race car well he hasn't been watching the last 15-20 years...
I was excited when Jay Drake, Dolanski, BC and now with Windom and Davey H. Jr. I hope they do well and arrive with a good 500 ride or more.... As someone earlier alluded to, if any of these guys really wanted to make it to the Speedway, they would have taken a rear engine approach to their careers like Ryan Hunter-Reay, Rossi, Newgarden, Rahal, Marco, Pigot, Kimball, Kaiser, Hilderbrand, Danica or Daly. But then he would have never heard of them because they never ran Kokomo and this guy would still be pissed off!
