[Sirrotica]

This November after the season has ended compare Wanica to Tony's first cup season, I'll bet $100 she won't have 3 cup wins or even be close to his stats. She won't make the chase either.

If the chase format was in place in 1999 Tony would be in the top 1/3 of the contenders. In the next 12 years if Wanica still has a ride and is in the cup series does anyone believe she'll have 3 cup championships? I doubt she'll do as good as Jr. has so far.

When Wanica has a record like that, then she can be compared to Tony.
