he isn't 'bad' but he is a solid field filler, he has been driving for years and managed a 2010 podium? and Viso who found him?
even danica patrick- strategy be darned- won a race.
too compare all the penske and ganassi stable mates have won races alot, the second tier ganassi cars have graham rahal who for all his bad luck won a race in indy/champ car on his debut.
Meira just isn't the same caliber as a few guys left out in the cold, like Tracy although he may be getting on, and Wheldon... and where is Junquiera? not a lucky guy in Indy but he was an actual good racer.
Indy car has a great collection of regular guys, good racers but not world class talent-
you can argue the same in F1 with guys like Luizzi who have done better in lower series and don't really hold up the F1 skill needed, and in INDY it has less to do with the car itself, as they all are in the same wagon
