These drivers are too professional to create a wreck deliberately as payback on a track where the pack is close together like Daytona and Talledega.
Taking another driver out in a deliberate move for a payback usually happens under different circumstances at a shorter distance track. When the so-called "big one" occurs at Talledega or Daytona, it is the result of driver error and not driver temper.
As for Junior not being a menace when he entered NASCAR racing, , he was. In his first Busch race he took out the potential winner. Later his father admitted Junior was driving over his head. That was only the first of several incidents until Junior settled in.
Shane Miehl has been handed the "silver spoon" and is being groomed as a future star only because his father is well known in both series. Would a relative unknown have been given the same opportunity in view of the past history of Miehl?? Doubtful. Shane is not a bad driver but he is a "taught" driver and not a natural like Kurt Busch or Matt Kenseth and few others.
Miehl will wind up in Winston Cup and might win some races. There are better drivers racing every Saturday night on some bullring somewhere in America who could beat him in a heartbeat given the same "silver spoon".
Another "silver spoon" driver is the latest addition to Chance Two Racing, Martin Truax. Good, but Daddy's BIG MONEY helped secure the ride.
Just as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip and Richard Petty before them, occupied the top spot saw drivers trying to scale the the mountain the "king of the hill du jour" currently resides on. It is subject to change each week in both series.
