    More proof that it takes more money than talent to race in NASCAR. I never knew he even raced with Gibbs.

Needed more experience but of course with sponsorship, apparently experience isn't needed.

      No he isn't! Jimmie Johnson is a 7x NASCAR Champion and has won dozens of races; you compare that to Kevin Conway to where he has only led 1 lap in a race for his entire racing career! Kevin is a complete and total 100% BUST compared to one of the greatest Jimmie Johnson. Plus statistically, the reason Jimmie didn't win ROTY in 2002 was because he was competing with Ryan Newman and Ryan was more consistent in finishing than Jimmie in 2002, so that's why he beat him for ROTY. But in 2010, Kevin won it by default even though his average finish was a pathetic 32nd because his only competitor was fired early in that season from only starting in 3 of the first 10 races. So I suggest you do your research before making a ridiculous assumption comparing Kevin to Jimmie!

    For your next bust, I suggest talking about driver David Green. He was a good driver in the Busch Series in the early 90's and won the Busch Series championship in 1994. He then attempted to go full time in Winston Cup with American Equipment Racing in 1997, though that didn't go too well. Trust me, it's an intriguing case
