I said no, but he has as good of a chance as anyone.
You know I'm going to say yes.
Not really. We still have 3 plate "races" to go this year.Originally posted by DirtyMo1381529@Mar 18 2003, 09:01 PM
he's got as good a chance as michael winning again this year...
I didn't have time when I was earlier to expand on what I think, so I will now. On Sunday, Ricky showed the grit and desire that it takes to win races. And that win was truly a team effort. For most of the race, he only had a 10th-12th place car. Then, it was his pit crew that almost single handidly got him in position to win, moving him up from 9th to 4th on the pit stops with 100 laps to go. On the last green flag run, he was smart. The 3 drivers in front of him got to racing hard and burnt up the tires, while he laid back, running just hard enough to keep those three in range, and saving the tires for the last 20 lap sprint. Then when it was time to go, he went. Most drivers on the circuit would have given up and settled for 2nd at that point, but Ricky didn't. And those last few laps were pure guts. Any driver will tell you that it takes nerve to sail into the first corner of Darlington side by side. Nothing in that race was given to him; he and the entire team earned it.Originally posted by stridsberry@Mar 18 2003, 12:58 PM

And why is it, DeeDee, that you would prefer that he not win again?Originally posted by DeeDee@Mar 18 2003, 01:40 PM
I would prefer he didn't. But he has the chance if he continues to drive like he did last week.
I think Mikey will win 3 or 4 races this year. I think he will take a Dega race California and possibly another race at a track 1.5 miles or biggerOriginally posted by DirtyMo1381529@Mar 18 2003, 03:01 PM
