      I think this Vegas wreck might have been just about the end of him. Especially after he had that wreck at Sonoma in 2004 where the car caught fire and burned him up pretty bad. But you look at his finishes prior to that wreck and after it. It's not even close. Sure, he won some races, had some decent finishes, but he was never a real championship contender again.
