He should.I didn't realize Chase was so interested in F1. As good as he is on road courses I wonder if he would ever give F1 a try in the future. I might actually watch an F1 race then.

At least he wouldn't have to deal with that mean old bully Harvick anymore.
No, some of the world class A-holes in F1 would make Kevin look like a sainted alter boy.At least he wouldn't have to deal with that mean old bully Harvick anymore.
That I can't argue with.
Didn't seem to hurt Tony Stewart.
Tony Stewart was in Indycar about ten minutes. He ran 26 races over five years, and two of those years and starts were one-off Indy rides. He also didn't come up through any of the open wheel road course feeder series like the vast majority of Indycar drivers have done sine the 1970's, so he never really got those habits ingrained in him the way that Danica for instance did. In fact, he never ran a single road race in an Indycar. If Danica would have had Tony's background, I think she would have been a halfway decent NASCAR driver.
Do you have any idea what the Indy Racing League is? Or USAC midgets? or Triple Crown Champ? Just what kind of B.S. are you trying to spread now.
First off, I specified ROAD COURSE feeder series, not USAC open wheel cars, and the Indy Racing League of your definition lasted about four years and died a quick death. By 2002, there were only TWO drivers with USAC experience in the IRL top twenty, and they were 13th and 18th. Tony was in the IRL a very brief time, racing for a billionaire against mostly underfunded teams with mostly second and third tier drivers that couldn't get rides in the CART Series at the time. Yes, Tony can drive an Indycar, but lets not make his time there more than it was.
Well Tony Stewart is the most talented American race car driver of all time.
I'll back you here.
nonsense. What do you think USAC is? they had both dirt and pavement racing.
Hey don't forget I came from Indy also... and I was 3X Circle City Buffet eating Champion. I started in the White Castle feeder series and worked my way up to the Golden Coral.
Absolutely, and he is about to go over 330 mph.
What the hell does THAT have to do with anything?
Well, Mr, Foyt, Mr. Andretti and the late Mr. Gurney might have something to say about that. I also wouldn't sell Mr. Jeff Gordon short. He was pretty successful at every discipline he tried, and paved the way for Tony. However you want to look at it, Tony Stewart is in VERY elite company.
Tony Stewart isnt even the best american race car driver of his generation. All time? Lmao get out.
Cough cough B.S.
OK mister, show me where any of those points are wrong.
look up Andretti. Foyt and Stewart is above for starters. Some drivers came from road courses, but not that many back in the day. I'm sure you will try to find some B.S. way to crawfish out of it.
Do you actually read and comprehend ANYTHING I say? The ENTIRE point was that since roughly 1980, basically no successful Indycar drivers have come up through the USAC ranks. Tony Stewart DID, but it was a total anomaly. The early days of the IRL were the equivalent of the XFL. They might have been PLAYING the same game, but it clearly wasn't the same as the big league, and I say that as somebody that was hoping it would succeed.
yeah figured it would be crawfish time. Yeah I have a real problem understanding. Why don't you show ALL of these 80's drivers you are harping about that ALL came thru somewhere, who knows.
when one runs his mouth without any proof, I have a hard time comprehending
happens all the time around here to all of us...but some more than others.
Damn it! Don't drag me into this!when one runs his mouth without any proof, I have a hard time comprehending
You DO realize that the LAST driver with any degree of USAC oval racing experience to win the Rookie of the year in ANY of the Indycar series was Pancho Carter in 1974, right?
Where are all of these racers you are talking about? Get busy proving your point instead of running your mouth.
Gordon and Johnson were better in a stock car for sure.
He’s multi disciplined but he wasn’t absolutely dominant in any series his raced in. I wouldn’t say he was the best, but had the opportunity to race in multiple series and was highly successful in all of them. I’m not sure it’s fair to compare him to other drivers who never raced in other series.
Maybe "versatile" is a bitter adjective then.
