hehe, Derrike Cope is also a Cup winner.
Which puts him a level above the non-winners. :laugh:
A winner is a winner & no-one can take that way.
yeah somehow Derrike Cope was a Daytona 500 champion :confused:
A guy who grew up just down the road from me, Johnny Benson raced for Roush too and just like Lepage ran more of a R-D type deal. Race every race, but run as a driver who tried new crap, so Mark Martin and whoever big wig was on the team could reap the rewards of the what was found by Benson and Lepage.Quote:

I met Johnny Benson once while he was with Roush Racing, he was very unhappy there.
The Daytona 500 is a wicked mistress and a tease. She often smiles on the downtrodden and lonely and gives her pleasures to them.(Pete Hamilton, Derrike Cope, Ward Burton, Michael Waltrip), but makes other champions suffer for years!(Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt) or NEVER lets them taste her fruits.(Terry Labonte,Rusty Wallace, Mark Martin)Quote:

And I know that a couple years back, I remember them making a big deal about how he ran in the top 10 at both road courses in the 43 car... I dont remember which year, and I guess I cant really say that he didnt wreck in those races either lol
