It has made me wonder where the true talent comes from. Does it come from your daddy or Sugar Daddy getting you into a great ride and then you get experience, Legano, Menard, Patrick, or in Montoya's case, diversity and sponsorship? As much as I hate to admit it DE Jr. also gets great rides because of his name. As someone on these boards says, just sayin'.

Jr. is a hot franchise and gets the ride he does 1. because of his name & 2. because of his merchandising $$$$$$$$$$.

There has to be some talent in each of them, simply having the right car with the right crew isn't enough.

I agree but if he didn't have that connection would he have the great rides? I don't think so because there were probably 500 other young guns as good as him that didn't get a ride when he first got his.
