I am not a nascar nor a Gordon fan, but I have to give the guy his
props.  He is the real deal behind a steering wheel regardless of the
racing format.  I don't know what his record on nascar road courses is, but
I am sure he has a very impressive string of wins when the good ole boys
turn right.  Just like soccer is the ultimate sport to make your kid as
athletic as possible, sprint cars, IMHO, do the same for a good
racer.  Isn't going fast on any track merely some degree of a controlled
drift?  I'd like to see gordon given a year as a test pilot for an
F1 team and then turn him loose w/ the big guys.  Hmm...an american that
could compete in F1, the horror.

sorry for continuing the OT,
