Hey, I wonder if he's dating anyone ?
I actually believe some of what AJ says. No way the drivers are as tough as they used to be, used to be common place to see track justice taking place in the pits. It was also way more dangerous even 50 years ago. There was a time not too long ago when half of your buddies would be killed racing.
Lets not confuse tough with being in shape and athletic or even fast and courageous. I'm not even sure why I'm typing this because as far as toughness 95% of the new class of Indy drivers shouldn't and couldn't be associated with the word. They can come hop on a speedwaybike and race my boy he'll weed the tough ones out real quick.
The drivers were better too because they could handle all cars on all surfaces, not one type of car on one type of medium.
Soon due to safety and lawyers the cars will be remote control anyhow. And everyone everywhere can be tough too if they have the money.
