I really don't buy that NW experience stuff. Half of them are at the Silly Bowl and Wings teach you smoothness. I'd go so far to say it takes much more experience winged to be a front runner than non as the equiptment is much more equalized and the driver makes a ton of the difference. You can make up some time NW even if you mess up a bit but a bobble winged equals half a second.
I really like to see drivers get experience in both as it makes them better overall.
You may be right that a USAC show isn't the place to learn. However others go at it as might as well run with the best and learn from it.
I prefer to think of several of the teams are committed to their weekend program and risking that for this is well, risky.
Ive seen lots of winged guys have success NW, Frankie Kerr, Robby Stanley, Gordon, Haud, S Kinser, Stevie Smith with a total of 1 NW race won 100,000.
Would love to see some of the ARDC guys get rides for this series.
