I think Richards is a decent driver and good for the sport but I wouldn't say he needs to be the face of the sport. He has 5 major wins in 10 years with the best equipment in the sport. Pierce has 3 majors in a year and a half. Sheppard will surpass Richards also. If anything have Davenport as the face of the sport. He's atleast won a race at Eldora and has twice as many major wins as Richards. When you think of the greats in the sport you think about the drivers success at Eldora. Bloomquist, Moyer, Moran, Purvis, Moore. Richards would have to win more than championships to be the face of the sport. Babb has 5 touring titles and no one considers him great. If anyone is going to be the face of the sport it will be Pierce going forward. Show Me winner, World winner and North South 100 plus 3 touring titles. He's already close to accomplishing more than Richards. But until Bloomquist decides to retire no one is replacing him as the face of the sport. No one sells more tickets or wins bigger races.

Who is this guy and WHY IS HE POSTING ON THIS FORUM? His post is insightful, articulate, correct spelling and grammar, and he makes a point without adding one of the grade school insults we've come to know on 4m. A few more posts like this and I WILL BE DONE with 4m. I just can't imagine what this forum would be like if we had threads full of comments like these.

Could this be...Centeroff...or Black I... or Phil, really sounds like one of his posts...NOT!!!

The greats in this sport have nothing to do with Eldora or any other track but ESPECIALLY Eldora. The magical wheel they spin to decide the invert has trumped many a fast race cars.
I can remember quite a few times some very fast cars never made the AMain at Eldora because of the gimmick invert.

That is correct it just does not pay to qualify in the top 12 or 24 at the Dream or World 100.
