Interesting question. Maybee it has to do with so few WOO Drivers trying to break in. I know Sammy(he who must not be named) and Kraig Kinser ran some truck races without much success, but the teams they ran for have not had alot of success period. I dont think Steve Kinser got a fair chance IMO and it was hard to go from King to field filler and wait for you chance with a better team.(he did quit well in his only attempt at the indy 500 with limitead success in IROC). I think at this point you would have to say that Dave Blaney has ben very successful. In the end I think a racer is a racer, if you give them good equitment and its somthing they want it bad enough they would find away. It could also be that with the Woo they make too much money and are comfertable where they are and dont feal that need to move up. Probiby has more to do with how easy Ken Sharder and then Jeff Gordon made the transition for nascar teams to look for talent in usac. I wonder if Jeff Gordon had been horrible if guys like Kenny Irwin or Ryan Newman would have ever got their chance.



Hope you all have a safe and Happy Newyears
