You're right about JPM. But others on the forum in the past have lumped them all together, and I wanted to avoid having them all lumped together again.Quote:

Its a shame DF isn't posting here anymore. I would like to hear how he can spin this Nationwide qualifying. Danica is the slowest by a couple tenths. She should thank Josh Wise and others for keeping the car in the top 30, or she would be going home.
I feel really sorry for the #7 crew. They have no problems with setting up a competitive car for Josh Wise and Aric Amirola, and the results show that. With Danica, they need a crystal ball. It's not the crew, it's the driver. After yesterday, even I expected more from her than this.

As for JPM, Dario, Sam, and AJ all being lumped together, BG had it correct in that they've all raced and won and won championships in openwheel. It is a fair comparison but true, JPM raced and won on the F1 level. Personally, I don't consider F1 a level above NASCAR or Indycar. They are all different disciplines and the top of their respective categories. I think F1 and Indycar used to be similiar enough to compare but not these days. Again, just my opinion but I think Dario is among the best 5 drivers in the world. People can point to the "failed" NASCAR deal but he truly never had a proper program...it needed more time. AJ has been competitive in a lower level RPM team and I think they'll continue to improve building around him in next couple of years. Sam...well, Sam did well once he got to Penske in Indycar but prior to that Sam was in the IRL because he wasn't good enough to cut it with the big boys (then in CART). He's never been a top level talent, in my opinion. That said, he's head and shoulders above the Danica...now whats that saying?
The space between the sterring wheel and the seat?Quote:

Nationwide is Triple A, Trucks Double AA and ARCA Class A roughly speaking.
I do kind of miss DF but I suspect he will be back in time. He has done this before and also on another forum I belong to.
Somebody please fill me in on this! What happened, did he wink one time too many?Quote:

He apparently is posting on other forums in his usual way.
He's posting on another forum where they don't know him well. But he did post there with the qualifying results and a note: "Her car was real loose the first lap and she didnt take a 2nd lap." Um, ya know, those cars are run real loose Danica. Get used to it or go home.Quote:

Will miracles never cease? After being hyped for what I have seen in the recent attempt. My happiness was the same when I saw her first win in 2008. It was the most unforgettable moment of my life.
