I'll bet most drivers that haven't won the Daytona 500 would trade 10 wins to have just one 500 win. right place at the right time....

Mikey's actually won two Daytona 500s (2001 & 2003). Those DEI cars were dominant on the restrictor plate tracks around that time. Right place at the right time on two occasions.

Mikey needs to prove nothing to anyone....he's had a great career in racing. He's a very talented driver/team owner/business man. How many times has his "finishing better than his usual 35th" been the result of being in the wrong place at the right time, or car issues? I am a long time fan of Mikey...and still think he's the best!

Have you earned almost $44 million in the last 25 years doing what you love?

I've never understood all the Mikey bashing. A lot of those that knock him don't realize that he was a champion before he got to Cup. Or that he has several wins in BGN. And he only has 2 wins in Cup? Take a look at the list of drivers that only had 1 win in Cup and you'll see some pretty good drivers listed. I don't know if you can find a list of those that have 0 wins, but I suspect there's a lot of great drivers on that list as well.

Michael also won the July, Daytona race and the October, Talladega race, giving him 4 SS wins in Nascar in the cup division.

Mike Skinner never won a Cup race but I think he's a way better racer. Unfortunately it seems like the Truck series is for former Cup drivers that never won. Hornaday, Musgrave, Todd Bodine.
