Not to get off track..HA
but I think Tony Stewart is trying to fill Dale E's shoes. He is not taking any crap, can drive hiss ass off and will put a dude in the wall. I am liking him more and more. He is about to replace little E as my favorite.
I have more respect for Jimmy Johnson now as well...He is having a pro-tour style 68 Camaro built even as we speak with a de-tuned NASCAR motor. I will try and get some spy shots if interested.
Back to the question posed. Of coarse a great driver makes a difference, but you cannot have 10 varibles and have a clear answer. Something needs to stay constant. If you are comparing old tech to new then, the driver needs to be the same. Comparing one driver to the next, the car needs to stay the same.
