as to limited experience, jPM has spent well over three years running almost every weekend in Nascar races........and he usually manages to run at times in the top ten....but most Nascar drivers can say the same thing, thanks to pit stops and such.

finishes is a whole different matter

example: 2007 51 starts, one win on a road course...29th place finish in points

now running the earnhardt ganassi team, not a slouch team at all

just like when he ran cart, he was with a team where the driver should be winning, except he is not

andretti ran only a few races in nascar, had only one victory, the Daytona 500
Different era, we're now in the multi-car team era.

JPM had top 30 car in plate races with Ganassi, now a top 5 car thanks to DEI.

2nd at 2007 Brickyard 400, could've won the race with another 10 laps.

DEI had been on a downhill slope. A lucky win for Jr last year!

Christ, even JPM is beating Martin Truex Jr in points right now.
