    He must be bringing a boat-load of cash because he isn't bringing a boat-load of talent.

    Hi new here! I just read about Stanton and want to let you guys know that he is a great guy and will be great for the Indy image. I got to meet him in Dover and he took time out to talk to me and my son when he didn't have to. And I'm just an average fan of NASCAR. But now I'll be following him to Indy!

    I also noticed he has a big following in Asia and someone at the track told me that he is as big as Junior over there! I couldn't believe that until did a search and saw all the Japanese and Chinese websites about him. I think Beck might be looking at the opportunities there maybe?? I know NASCAR is trying to get into China but maybe Indy will beat them to it with Stanton.

    Good luck Stanton and Beck!

    I do follow NASCAR and I would like put things in perspective for you.

    He has 22 career starts in the Sprint Cup Series, and 49 DNQs.

    His average starting postition is 36.8 and his average finishing position is 37.7.

    In his 22 starts, he was running at the finish only 6 times. And of those 6 times, none of them were on the lead lap.

    I'll grand that his Nationwide Series statistics are slightly more promising.

    He has 169 starts and only 12 DNQs, but has still never started every race in a season.

    His average starting position is 27.0 and his average finishing position is 27.7.

    In his 169 starts, he was running at the finish 113 times, and finihsed on the lead lap 25 times.

    He does have 1 top-five and 7 top-ten finishes.

    I wouldn't call him bad, I would call him sub-mediocre.

    At least this will give the NASCAR fans forced to buy tickets to Kansas and Chicago someone to cheer for

    Sounds like Dario. I am not too worried.

    No one is expecting him to come in here and run top 5's. He will be a field filler, but an american field filler, and some what respectable. Atleast maybe we can have an American leading laps if they are out of sequence.

    He hasn't exactly been blessed with top tier equipment over his carreer in NASCAR either. At least he has plenty of experience getting out of the way and running off-line.
    HINCHTOWN!!
