Sure, the cards are stacked against the smaller teams. But, also therein lies an opportunity that isn't available to the better funded teams. It lies in the expectations game. I remember several years ago when Dickie Gaines went out on most nights and didn't do himself any huge favors in qualifications and ended up racing himself to within 2 points of winning ISW. In fact, I still hear more people talk about what Dickie ALMOST did that year, than I do talk about what Levi DID DO that year. And that was win ISW. It's tougher and tougher, but when it does happen, it's the kind of thing that legends are made of.
And flash forward to the first two nights of Sprint Week. Sure, we were talking about the heat winners, transfers and feature winner. But, one of the things that was said quite a few times, amongst the "Section A Gang" was "Hey, Chad Boesflug can drive!" And I'm guessing we weren't the only people that noticed that.
