I personally think his never give up attitude and will to win has a lot to do with it.. that and he has a thorough understanding of his car because he is hands on and works on his stuff along with his crew. the guy just refuses to give up no matter what. he didn't just get good over night he has worked long and hard for what he has accomplished. quite a few have equipment equal to his, but he just has a lotta laps worth of knowledge. Matt Mevert has a lot of the same qualities... I would love to see him back in a modified.
