#1157Tons drivers tried through the diversity program and I've seen allof 2 make it. And both do have skills. Hell 1 won the xfinity title last season
And nothing about nascar is fixed. Take a look at Dale jrs farewell tourComment -

#1159Seems to me a league of chiefs and Indians. A lot of the cars are the Washington Generals. Don't really see how these cars can be so consistently in the back of the pack or that there is that much difference in driver talent. But I have never watched a single lap of NASCAR so don't know the first thing about it. Seems a guy like David Ragan or Cole Whitt could perform pretty well in a top car.Comment -

David Ragan had his chance in top equipment. He's a fine driver. All of them are. It takes being in a top team to win but it's still only those few with some extra talent that win over and again.
Look at Kasey Kahne in a Hendrick car..Comment -

#1161Yeah he got the chance through a diversity talent program. But have hardly heard a mention of him being black in ages. And never heard anyone say he was given a free ride. Easy to imagine it's different if you dont watch much but despite the stereotypes about NASCAR fans, no one seems to notice or comment on his color much.

That's the part I don't understand about NASCAR. How do these guys not have the same equipment? It seems to me some of these cars are tuned to run slower. Why does Stenhouse all of the sudden get a really fast car? Seems to me he earned his stripes and they tuned up the car partly because his name is Stenhouse.Comment -

There is some 20-year-old kid though right? I don't know how he ranks in XFINITY but they are obviously playing the black angle. Would he have been the top choice out of the XFINITY racers?

Stenhouse's improvement and Bubba's slow careeer success are kind of interlinked. Stenhouse won the Xfin series when Roush had among the best cars. By the time he moved to Cup and Bubba took over his ride in Xfin, Roush were skating downhill fast into a mid pack team.
Both of them look better this year as Roush, and all the Ford teams in bother series, are finally on the comeback.
Wind tunnel calibration issues is what started the Roush decline years ago. Money to spend on windtunnels at all, let alone have enough use time to collect enough data to get a genuine advantage over others is just one area that makes the difference. Add up 15 more areas that each give .001 per lap and you are so much faster than average you are like JGR or Hendrick. But it takes massive money for those tiny advantages to be made..Comment -

#1166Bubba is the #1 full time Xfin driver affiliated with the #43 team right now. So it is a normal choice. I don't think anyone thinks that he has done enough to earn a Cup ride as yet but as a fill in for an affiliated team with an injured driver, there would probably be more questions inside the team about why he didn't get the chance than there are about why he did get it.
