I saw Lazier race at Indy 2-3 times when he had great equipment and he held his own.Mike Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772828680622049166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784967625670062718.post-78184978315520257602011-03-30T17:23:08.736-05:002011-03-30T17:23:08.736-05:00Wonder what your thoughts were on a guy like Buddy...Wonder what your thoughts were on a guy like Buddy Lazier making the top 33 ? I saw his stats and they were impressive. 17 starts, 1 win and a few top 5's along with being 5th or 6th all-time in laps completed.

I guess for the sake of this argument I focused on numbers because for various reasons some drivers had very short careers at Indy but accomplished so much as opposed to some guys who kept grinding and made a good living at it but didn't have a lot of high finishes on race day. If I were to make a list from the heart it might look a lot different.

Then again, some of the fellows who did plug away so long without winning perhaps earned a spot due to their overall spirit and legacy. It depends what your criteria is.Zachary Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166638173640517627noreply@blogger.com
