[Publius Valerius]

I'd wager that almost all the NASCAR drivers have some form of open wheel experience in the youth, especially in carting.

Also, I think you'd lose this bet. I'd say it's closer to 50/50 between guys coming up through USAC on one hand and NASCAR or ASA on the other. 50/50 might even be high.

"Also, I think you'd lose this bet.

What? To be clear, you don't think that most of these drivers were carting LONG, LONG before they ever sat in a late-model or NASCAR track?

I don't think that's a bet I'd lose.
