Big time midget racing is a young man's sport these days because this is the style of racing today- elbows up, full contact. And that's why we don't see guys like Darland and Cottle running midgets much these days; the more seasoned drivers really aren't willing to drive like that.

The guys who've run a sprint car at Eldora or Winchester generally don't drive that way because they know that there are serious consequences when people start racing dangerously. And most of these kids running midgets these days don't have those experiences and, therefore, are more fearless- thus the style of racing we see today.

I can't blame T-Mez, really. He's racing for a living and that's what it takes these days. He owned up to it. He'll get his too..... and so will everyone else.
