I think the important thing in the Jon vs. Blake debate here is that there is a youngster that is already fast and steadily improving that has the potential to be a star. The sport needs youngsters that are racing sprint cars not just to get to the next series but are here for the enjoyment and the sport. We've seen lots of young drivers in sprint cars in the last few years, but they are gone after a couple of years either to other series are because they didn't advance quickly enough. We need stars like Blake to develop and take over for the stars of today (like Jon and DD) as they age up and cut back on their racing schedules.
