    only one ringer I saw listed on the odds: Said

    there aren't so many ringers that I've seen when I've been following. According to what I've read, there used to be more.

    yeah very few ringers anymore

    and they dont do well anyways...

    cup regulars focus on the road courses alot more than they use to and have got alot better

    thats why they arent used much anymore

    Yeah, first cup start but competed in 2 other road races in Nationwide. Nothing special IMO, he is not going to figure in result.

    Do you give that much rating?

    He sounds like an ok road racer, but I can't see him mixing it at the front.

    I don't know him. I thought Trans Am was a historic series only.

    Menard ex formula 1 driver this race similar to formula 1 not the same speeds but because of a rd course think only a handful of drivers can win this weekend so many ringers as such

    Menard has never done anything at sonoma OR the glen

    absolutey awful...17th best finish at sonoma and 16th at the glen are his best finishes..never even at top 15 finish at a road course


    sonoma: 17th, 21st, 22nd, and 34st...

    Shaun, Paul Menard has never raced in formula 1.

    He has only very limited road racing experience, and only briefly when he first got into racing. Never outside of USA.

    Was about to say same thing.


    Speaking of F1, got any insight for Valencia this weekend Matt? Hard to go past Vettel I think?

    Also F1 related, I am going to put 10 bucks on Piquet in Nationwide this week, but probably go 3 or 4 units on McDowell... hoping he is over +1200

    Was hoping Aussie Steve Owen would be back for this race this year too... he gave it a great shake last year.

    Robby Gordan v Said is probably the best quali matchup. If we can work out which one has the least crappy car before practice starts...
