Because you'd think that, in a professional sport, talent is what got you where you were, not looks and money. NASCAR's just a glorified American Idol contest.

Hell, even Kyle "The Hack" Busch won a Cup race at the ripe old age of 20 in the dreaded 5 car.

Yeah, at the age of 20, Kyle Busch was driving for the most successful team in the history of NASCAR racing. Yep, his equipment is as bad as Kimmel's car in his brief Cup stint. :rolleyes: Dumbass.

If Kyle stayed in the Nationwide Series like Kimmel has stayed in the ARCA Series lops like you would need blood pressure medication.
 
Whats with all the hate on Frank??? He's a really good guy, and yeah he never was and will never be as successful Kyle Busch or Jimmie Johnson. So what? Most race car drivers dream to have the kind of success he has had... He has made a very good living being a successful professional race car driver. Not all race car drivers have to be as successful as Jimmie Johnson.

I can't appreciate a guy that never moves up the ladder.

He's driving Turner Scott equipment and has more money backing him than any up-and-coming prospect.

Anyone racing at that level is rich... Maybe he has more money than most, don't know, but you can't make it in a competitive ride in ARCA, K&N, etc... without coming from a rich family...

I Never said people with money don't have talent.

nope, but you said you can't make it unless you come from a rich family, and although that happens a lot, it isn't an absolute. Bubba and Larson are two that come to mind who didn't come from a rich family.

Biffle, Boyer, Johnson

I don't know the history of most of the drivers that you mentioned. But I have been watching Darrell Wallace Jr race for a long time now, in his earlier days I saw one of the sponsors on his car "Wallace Industrial", I'm sure that was just a coincidence and not his parents company.... (even on his Rev Racing K&N car I saw this sponsor).
You can't get to a level of racing as expensive as K&N, ARCA, etc... without some very very good financial backing. People that don't have money can't afford to go racing. 15 year olds in K&N have mom and dads money getting there. Nobody is gonna discover a driver who is great at the local street stocks class and offer them a K&N ride. It doesn't happen.

Checked the wikipedia page of Biffle, Bowyer, and Johnson. Biffles didn't say but the other 2 mentioned they started racing at ages 4 and 5. I feel bad for them, such a rough upbringing. Poor bastards

Rich family? remember. you having a problem focusing and keep changing the subject. like I said, you do what you do. their all rich.
 
dude you just being a troll, Johnson grew up in a trailer park, Larson's parents told him they could help him as far as go karts, after that he was on his own. I'm done troll away.
 
Just mentioning facts, they started racing at ages 4 and 5. The average 4 and 5 year old are not racing. Most families can not afford it.
