Dont kill me for bringing late models up but.....

I would love to see a man by the name of Jeep Van Wormer jump a 410 wingless sprint. He drives a late model regularly....always has a big spider on his car.The guy is crazy....literally .

i would like to think myself would be a good pick but i would pick Dale JR. just so everyone could see that he absolutely sucks behind the wheel. but i would like to see tony stewart and jeff gordon also run in a sprinter because i never got the chance to see them run, too young, and heard that they could put it around a dirt track

The WRC races always seemed like it would be close to watching a sprint car on a dirt road course. (not that I'm advocating running sprints on a road course:wink)

Speakin of rally guys... what about travis pastrana.... hahah that would be rediculous, we all know he is crazy enough....

and i think you would be surprised at how well a guy like Dale Jr would do, I think he has more talent than people give him credit for, you cant say he is where hes at just because of his dad, the other Earnhardt kids tried and hes still there
