If this is your real assessment, isn't that basically what I am saying? Certainly equates to a better rating than POS wouldn't you agree. It is nonsensical rants like that which draw criticism.
To win a Sprint Cup race in todays highly competitive field of drivers/teams is a big deal IMO, no matter how it comes about. He had to pass a lot of cars through the course of the race to be in a position to win. I know many NASCAR fans are less than enamored with road course races, but there is where you find real driving talent - T. Labonte, Bill Elliott, Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, J. Gordon, T. Stewart, J. Johnson, Ky. Busch, R. Gordon, Dale, SR, and I am surely leaving out someone.
