Some people don't realize that some of the guys that come from a heavy dirt background may not succeed in the Cup series but still be better racers in general than the successful cup drivers. I think the dirt guys are the best drivers, but some of them don't cut it in cup. Completely different styles.....but once a dirt finds his skill in cup, he will usually dominate.

That's very true about the Allison's, but that is a whole racing family, there are very few of those families left.
Tony Stewart, and Jeff Gordon both have (had) backgrounds in go-karts and dirt track, that's where they refined that will to win mentality, and racing keeps them sharp, that is, till a certain age, then they lose the killer instinct, they feel they have reached the top of their abilities, and don't feel the need to compete any longer. Or the kids coming up run over them, and remind them "You're old gramps, git outta the way" and then run them over. :faint:

Matt Kenseth will share the No. 6 Ford for the remainder of the 2018 season with Trevor Bayne, who has driven the car on a full-time basis since 2015 but will now move to part-time status. Roush Fenway will announce the news at a press conference scheduled for Wednesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. .... his first race is slated to be at Kansas
