I think the annoying thing is these drivers come out of nowhere. We get used to rooting for certain guys at our local tracks in hopes that someday they might get a big ride. As the years pass, the next thing you know they are 25 years old and basically stuck. You are walking thru the pits when one of the big teams pulls in. You watch them unload 2 top of the line cars, then see the 14 or 15 year old kid come out of the trailer. This kids first race, you set back and think, man if ....... was in that car they would probablly win. Instead u know they are only going to run midpack. What a waste. Then in your head your become bias twords that driver. The team runs him all over the country the rest of the year running 2 to 3 nights a week. The next season he is right up there contending. My point is it dosen't seem like you have to pay your dues in a sprint car to get a top ride. many fans don't have respect for the young racer that comes right in to a big time ride. Then he races 3 years worth of races in 1 season. the next year he starts to get respect. These kids have tallent, i just wish there was more of a ladder.
