Kerry sucks, plain and simple. He has gotten plenty of opportunities because of his last name. If he had a single shred of talent he'd be a Cup regular by now. |

At best I'd rate him as "fair". Winning plate races isn't about driver skill, it's about the car. If it was skill, he's have won at other tracks, but he hasn't. Even Derrike Cope won at Dover in addition to his Daytona win, driving for an under-funded team. Mikey's last name got him a Cup ride, his skill as a shill has kept him there. so now you are repeating what i said? Just throwin' in my 2 cents. You said he was a good driver, I just don't rate him that high, besed on a scale of Excellent-Good-Fair-Poor-Bad. |
well on your scale, i'd have to say he's between good and fair...closer to
good...and i'm pretty sure he'd drive circles around me..<G>

| like Mikey? Exactly. He'd probably be driving for DEI also, like his marginally talented half-brother. |

I rate him as "good". Fair would not have 4 wins (2 D500's), 50 top 5's, and 150 top 10's. |
taking the top 25 active drivers today, that have won races,
by percentage points he ranks:
25th in poles
25th in wins
24th in top 5's
22nd in top 10's
I don't know that I can rate that as "good".
In any comparison,
last/near last can't be "good".
I did a quick spreadsheet if you want to consider catagories
very good, good, fair and poor
in percentage of top 10's vs. starts, which is his best catagory, in order:
Very good:
Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin,
Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards
Good:
Matt Kenseth, Terry Labonte, Kurt Busch, Dale Jarrett,
Jamie McMurray, Dale Junior
Fair:
Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick, Sterling Marlin,
Kyle Busch, Gregg Biffle, Kasey Kahne
Poor:
Jeremy Mayfield, Kyle Petty, Michael Waltrip, Elliott Sadler,
Joe Nemechek, Robby Gordon
