Here's are a few facts on what Robert has been able to accomplish in just his first 2-years in Non-Wing Sprint Cars:
2007 & 2008 410 Non-Wing Sprint Car Stats:
(72) Total 410 Non-Wing races (+/- 36 races per year)
(14) Wins (20%)
(31) Top 5 (43%)
(42) Top 10 (59%)
$75,000 + in winnings ($1,041.67 / race average)
I would like to make the point that because of funding, or lack of, the total amount of races Robert has been in is less than 1/2 of most USAC drivers single season race totals. The drivers he is competing against nightly have 150 to 180 races over the same 2-year period. Based on the statistics above, this supports the point that if he was able to get in 70 to 80 races in a single season, he would have a very strong case to be considered one of the top drivers in the country. I don't think people realize how few races he has actually been in a non-wing sprint car, and even at 19 years old, his stats measure up to about anyone in the country.
