I would guess it might be Kevin's first times in a stock car around a R/C.FRM probably needs to find out what makes him comfortable. Sear's might be the first track Kevin gets black flagged for falling below minimum lap speed! IMO

Dario- There was a day that Robby Gordon made his first 'test' on a road course & an oval track. Granted, Robby had a kick ass dirt racing resume heading into those tests,as I am not quite sure if KC won many races in other series before getting his nascar license.

Good point. You can NOT just get a CUP license and run amuk. Na$crap has a procedure and requirements (believe it or not). KC has had to meet all of their requirements.And to date has not been black flag'd for falling below minimum speed.And he's racing in the 600 Sunday and I'm Bar-B-Que'n!

And he's getting paid 5 figures to run in circles. Money in da bank! I'd love to suck as much as Conway does in a cup car and make 5 figures each week.End of the day, he gets the last laugh.
