I get what you're saying sc96 - I've wondered lots of times that it must be tough to be raised to race. You spend your whole childhood racing and being told you're great and how much potential you have and this is how Tony Stewart got his start. You skip birthday parties and all your spare time is spent at the track. None of this is a bad thing but it must be a real kick in the teeth to realize you're 20 and you aren't the next Tony and this is all you've ever known so now what? I mean USAC has no pension plan and there's no 401k - you can't support a family off the payouts.....but this is all you've ever done and everyone has told you your whole life that you're meant to do this and you never had a backup plan for life.....it's got to screw with your head. The Bryan Clausons are few and far between - he's a stand up guy for his age but he's also gotten a lot more opportunities come his way than some of these other 20 something's ever will (Ganassi, Indy 500, etc).
