Pine,
I'll ramble here and not make much sense but it seems like these hot driving 16-20 year olds are all in non-wing cars and are able to grab headlines a lot quicker and get noticed there a lot sooner. What 18 yr. old kid has come in and made big headlines with the WoO's lately?The Outlaw guys are a much more mature group age wise as well. Schatz is young at 30 in that group. Campbell and Henderson are young and have some good runs but they don't win and get headlines like Stenhouse, Ballou and other young guys do in non-wing. Here's another bad idea. Maybe with the non-wing races being so concentrated in the midwest that a driver has a chance to really get looked over by a car owner as he can watch him race A LOT in a summer's time without going around the whole country to do so. Plus, like you said, drivers' can show off their diversity with the different cars and surfaces that they get to drive. That has to be to the drivers' advantage I would think. These are simple thoughts from a simple mind and I am prepared to get blown out of the water by someone more knowledgeable than myself. Have a great 2008, Pine, and I'll let you offer me a drink at Lawrenceburg in July. Tom
