And there have been a LOT of drivers in NASCAR and many got a lot of attention before they started doing anything. Some were lucky enough to have a few years of experience and get into great teams immediately.
[/BQUOTE :How many people outside of NACAR even know who Bowyer is let alone the general public. Now how about in comparison Patrick?
And have any of them come even remotely close to the publicity and praise that Patrick has during those periods you mentioned?
A person wins the pole position at Daytona, (someone does every year) and it gets more attention as a story than the actual winner of the race got in terms of news coverage.
