I've watched every Nascar race from the past 8 years I can personally say that those teams don't need strategy to dominate a race. The only races where anyone can win are at Dega and Daytona. Kyle, and a bunch of these bottom feeders are great people, but that doesn't mean that they're decent drivers as of right now

Until then, he's watching Tony, Jeff and Jimmie run circles around him.
I've never proclaimed Harvick to be as good, pretty weak comeback

you may have watched, that doesn't mean you know anything. NASCAR is more strategy than anything else no matter how good the man behind the wheel is or how good the engine is. If those were the only factors Stewart and Gordon would win every race because they are clearly the best two pure drivers in the sport.

You put RCR up there with Hendrick and Gibbs Racing. RCR is not anywhere near those two teams.

I understand what you're saying, but to say that Petty, Wood Brothers, or any of those other bottom feeder teams are going to ever contend for a championship again is crazy.

RCR had all three teams make the chase last season; Gibbs didn't
