Because of equipment and medication, few drivers today actually know a damn thing about racing....it is actually kind of pathetic.
So called "good" or even "great" drivers often make decisions in races that are contrary to any sort of logic.
People laugh at Ron Pierce and his intellect...well, truth be told, no one today has half of Pierce's racing IQ.
Georgie Nap is one of the few that actually knows what is likely to happen and makes fewer mistakes than most others.
