Like Kyle said - she can drive fast (a 179 MPH average is fast), but when the competition is nearly 5 MPH faster, it ain't racin'...

I fully realize that qualifying ain't racin' either. Some guys aren't always good at qualifying, but can race their way to the front.

Kevin Harvick is a good example of that. Some recent examples - at Michigan he started 21st and finished 2nd, at Charlotte he started 15th and won and at Richmond he started 17th and won.
Not so much the mph as it is the time. .08 back Not so good.
Personaly I would like to know the time and not the mph.
