Brett was born into and raised in this game. Could be an advantage or disadvantage, LOL. Case in point, John Campbell (and Jim). The other case in point, Josh Marks. His uncle Richie, no offense, came up sitting behind and driving the best bred and highest priced horses money could buy. Sure, he became a "good" driver, but it was over the course of many, many years. By the time Richie was a "good" driver, he was already many years beyond where Brett is today. Today Brett is what, 22? 23? Aside from his stats, he's accomplished a lot as far as a career, already at a very young age. No, he didn't win the Hambo, but he's winning races, competing in a major SS program at various tracks, getting exposure, opportunities, and producing at tracks like the Meadowlands, and so on.
Brett is very young. He may have a lot of opportunities, he may be getting exposure on the some of the big stage-----but not like his uncle did-----but he is still very, very much in the learning stage. I think he has ability, and opportunities aside, he certainly knows how to win races, and he's learning, honing his skills, etc. He's still up and coming, and early at that. It's not like he's permanently based at the Meadowlands, or even on the grand circuit, but he's moving toward. Where he goes, and how he handles his business, potential opportunities, etc., may dictate a lot. Overrated, underrated, whatever. It's in the eye of the beholder, LOL. I don't think that has anything to do with how much he earns, takes home, etc. Talent is talent. Ability is ability. Either you have it or you don't. People use stats to back up an opinion. Perhaps because they don't have the ability to develop and have a quality opinion in the first place. Overrated vs. underrated, I don't think he's either. LOL.
