People need to start telling it like it is and quit giving kids the idea that if they work hard enough, and win enough race's they can make it to the big time! As sad as I am to say it, it just doesn't work that way. I'm not just talking NASCAR either! 90% money 9% who you know 1% talent....

I go back to a quote I will never forget that rocked my world "If you want a ride you need to bring a bag full of trophies or a bag full of money, and money work's everytime!"
