Did anyone watch Larson last Saturday at Daytona? Didn't look like "the best driver in the world" to me. I know plate races are a crapshoot but he seemed to be in the middle of a lot of the wrecks, and I'm thinking "the best driver in the world" would be cerebral enough to at least TRY to be running at the end. You know there's going to be at least one "the big one", and chances are excellent that there will be at least one green-white-checker at the end, so why are you getting involved in front of the pack, high-risk, low reward 3-wide racing scrums at the midway point of the race?
I'll admit he was a better race driver when he was six years old than I could ever in my wildest dreams ever hope to be....but still.....
