It was rather stupid to start such a topic at the first place, right from the start of the season the Vision racing has been rock solid on ovals and it's no wonder 2 vision racing drivers were up there, and when the driver input becames slightly more important which is when they run on roadies, the truth immediately emerages. I mean, it's not even a debate of CC and IRL, Ed Capenter is even worse than most of the past IRL drivers.
First off there are only 2 races left in the season and he is in twelveth. That means he has 14 or 15 other drivers behind him in the points. He's hardly one of the worst ever. I surprised you'd even say that considering he's in front of almost all the supossed more talented xCC drivers.Quote:

You can be sure if he was 20th+ in the points that they would remind me. ; )
Racer had a nice spot on Ed Carpernter a month or two ago...
FWIW - Ed has done ok for himself as a driver. He is not the best and not the worst. He has improved each year and that is morethan can be said for some.
I think where Ed is going to end up being a bit like Chip Ganassi - a great ex-driver who will run Vision racing and will have the knowledge and insider respect to do a decent job of it.....
BobGarage has spoken and he is right. Old3Fan agrees.Quote:
