Under normal circumstances I, too, don't think Pruett could have caught him. However, I believe Pruett restarted in around 12th or 13th after the spin and he finished fifth, getting back there in...??? five laps? Too bad the cameras focused on J.P. after the spin and not Pruett. I believe his climb back thru the field may have been ever bit as impressive as J.P.'s was, from 19th. I think that if Scott were to have caught him, J.P.'s car would have experienced a Wriggly's Juicey Fruit enema with Scott's front bumper.

Being consistent can also mean that you need to be conservative. If he wants the Busch championship, and he does, then he needs to run clean races and score well. No victories required. Isn't that completely opposite from your views ??? |
Egad!!! Have they no shame? Not only do the Cup Raiders come down to Cup Lite with their Cup teams and technology, take money needed by BGN teams and thumb their primadona little noses at the race fans by using their charade as an undocumented practice session for Cup, NOW they're even points racing in Cup Lite, too???!!! All these Cup Raiders must be trial lawyers-in-training, because they are apparently incapable of experiencing a single shred of shame.
As far as consistency goes... like time shares, pyramid schemes and communism, it looks good on paper but... Someone will ultimately profit from it but it is seldom the actual consumer (read: race fan)
As far as NASCAR goes, in all too many cases, consistency equals mediocrity and boring racing.
