I'll also add this.
Chase and Alan have been together for 8 years. How many championship winning combos last THIS long without a deteriorating relationship? Hmm?
None. Zero. The exceptions are Zippy and Tony, who lasted 10 years. That relationship clearly deteriorated by year 8 (given their communication), and Jimmie and Chad. Jimmie and Chad almost separated by year 5, had championships and success to fall on, and even STILL, by year 8 they started seeing a liscensed therapist, together, to work on preserving their relationship.
So, they only two championship winning driver/CC combos to last as long Alan and Chase (8 years) were Tony and Zippy, who's relationship declined by year 8, and performance never recovered. And Jimmie and Chad, who almost separated by year 5, and started seeing a therapist by year 8 to preserve their work together.
That's it. No one lasted this long outside of Alan and Chase, except for a pair that declined and never recovered, and the greatest team of all time, who needed professional help to last longer.
And we're gonna pretend that Alan and Chase are a historically great exception to this trend?
This relationship is dead!
