The talent is the same; it's just applied differently.
These guys aren't known for being NASCAR drivers.. (other than Tony Stewart)
Robby Gordon:
Started off in off-road racing b/c his dad did Baja.. and still does BAJA.. he's more known for being a road-racer than an oval driver.
Aric Almirola:
He is a rookie /part time driver for the Earnhardt team(not known for being a nascar driver b/c he's new) Plus he started in Karting.
Patrick Carpentier:
A) He's Candain (not that I have anything against Candians, but I said previously "AMERICAN NASCAR DRIVERS")
B) He is known for being in Champ Car and INDY
Dario Franchitti:
Raced a few races in NASCAR.. but NOT a NASCAR driver. And he' scottish, and knows how to drive!
Juan Pablo Montoya:
Do I really have to say anything... He is a F1 Driver! ( who happens to want to race with NASCAR to make out with American drivers)
Sam Hornish Jr.:
Is known for Karting for 11 years before he got into INDY (also relatively new to NASCAR and not known for being a NASCAR driver)
A.J. Allmendinger:
Champ Car driver.. and before that Kart Champion... who unfortunately has not had much success in NASCAR..
Now.. for the
known American NASCAR driver

All he does is circle track.
I am an American.. and I can't stand NASCAR..
