Lot's of people can DRIVE a race car. It takes a real good racer to win with consistency.

The question is IF she can RACE a Cup car.Does anyone on this board know how many current Cup drivers has EVER raced wheel to wheel as fast as she has?How many have raced Indy cars because the Cup cars are slower than they are.Stewart,Jaun, AJ,any others?Less than a handfull?Drivers that are actually racing Cup series.Tom
The reason that aren't very many Cup drivers that have raced Indy cars is that most Indy car drivers aren't able to drive a Cup car competitively. Many have tried to race Cup, but with the exception of Stewart in the last 20 years, most have been mediocre or worse at Cup.

Indy cars are faster, but they are also much lighter, have much wider tires and have a lot more electronics that actually make these cars EASIER to drive.
