He is not even capable of carrying their helmet bag. I am glad he finished 3rd because when he does good it may open up another opportunity for a more deserving driver.Nascar had better be careful because drivers who should not be in cars on talent and getting in them with $ is one of the downfalls of indycars. Ironically it is one of the same owners who is doing it. What happened to the idea of good drivers being successful in sprints /midget and moving up due to their success.
I agree with you man. Im not saying hes a bad driver but theres certainly more deserving drivers out there. Contrary to what another user said racing doesnt necessarily require money it certainly helps but you can work hard and make stuff happen too. The difference in spending sponsor money and spending family money is that in most cases you have to earn sponsor money, and i dont know how many of oyu have tried to find sponsors its not easy. Some pretty major teams like the FOXCO 53 had trouble finding sponsors this year so if you can get sponsor money you deserve to spend it.
