Merriman would get demolished at YR and even worse at M.  Top drivers have zero respect for him as a driver.  He's nice guy is all anyone ever says about him.  Nice guys finish last.  He drives all the gas at NFLD and now the track is legit you see his numbers dipping because the front doesn't hold up like it used too.  I wouldn't rate him in the top 5 in Ohio!  Page, Miller, Noble, Wrenn, Smith are far better drivers.
 

OOPS, Grismore "FAILED" @ Yonkers 'BIG TIME', while driving the Burke stock!

Outside of Brennan, what top drivers are a@ Yonkers?

The plop effect - driver gets trashed - driver goes off.

Maybe he won’t be a grand circuit guy

But I imagine he will be okay with that.  8)

The list is short of guys you can put on the bucket in the big races and deliver. HOF has in my opinion about 5 drivers in there. A. M. I think knows he can’t deliver on the big stage.
I have never cared for Yannick but that was absolutely best strategic drive

Why does the guy get fined so much. Every week on the USTA web site he's either inside the Euro rail, talking on the race track, refusal to drive when programmed, late to the breathalyzer.  WTF, the guy is a scum bag.
