I never bought into the theory that short track open wheelers were handicapped by their lack of RE experience. I watched Foyt, Rutherford, the Unsers, and many more FE trained drivers compete rather effectively against the likes of well known RE stalwarts like Jack Brabham, Jimmy Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and others. But, IMO the door was nailed shut for our guys and gals when the schedule went for so many road and street events (can't bring myself to call them races ), especially when the great majority of the movers and shakers in ICS are from the euro formula, road racing genre'.

I believe Bryan will return to a stable (well funded) NASCAR ride within a few seasons and will compete for wins and a championship.
