I'm gutted to hear this, I think a GNS Apprenticeship or something like that would be a good idea for future rookies regardless of other experience, there's no comparision for Cup racing and the jump is too big without a basic grounding in the discipline, something like say 30+ races in ARCA, GNS and CTS combined before they even consider letting a guy near a Cup car. Villeneuve was in the same boat after the 500 and it sucks cos they're talented guys who would and should be given the chance to enrich the stock car scene.

Feel so bad for Big Dario,
