Mann Winns in lights, Carpenter gets 2nd in the main series last year.

There's no driver talent involved in this type of oval racing...

Ok, then you go do this at 215mph and see how well you do if there is no driver talent. You should do pretty good then....what an ignorant statement.

*rolls eyes*

It doesn't take a genius to work out that codename_47 is saying no talent within certain parameters. In top-level series racing terms, these drivers are of extremely low talent. Compared to the average guy in the street they are obviously good, but come on, are you seriously saying nobody should say John Wes Townley, Yuji Ide or Milka Duno are rubbish drivers simply because they are no better than them? That completely goes against what fans are like in every sport on the planet.

I think most people in the world are better than Ed Carpenter...

No, everyone is entitled to their opinion. It just totally rubs me the wrong way when I hear people say, "they have no talent" or "that driver shouldnt be driving a school bus". Its like seriously? Come on. It takes talent to drive anything.

Also, cool to see that Sarah ran up front last week.

I tell ya if I had a dollar for every IRL driver that got a F1 ride I'd have my student loans paid off.
