Wheldon out-Dario in at CGR in '09

[Lemmy-Boy]

He is good on all courses. I feel if he had a team like Roush Fenway, Hendricks, Joe Gibbs in NASCAR, would of been a different story. He would of had the best equipment and the sponsors to carry him through a full season.

Dario is another hack who couldn't make it into the BIG SHOW known as NASCAR. With limited options, he's now looked upon as a failed NASCAR project that stepped down to INDYCAR in order to resume a career. Yes, his NASCAR experience was partly due to a weak team and bad timing, but jumping into the CUP series right away was a very bad decision.

Franchitti should have spent a year in NATIONWIDE or Trucks, then make a transition into CUP. Even through he's coming back with a top IRL team, his failed experience in TIN TOPS makes the IRL look like a glorified feeder series to NASCAR, not the other way around.

Oh...how times have changed.

Move the driver/team change conversation over to the silly season thread.
