He's not a road racer, 'never has been......usually going backwards from his starting position on road courses back in Cup cars. ('Pretty hard for him to do in IndyCar starting at the back in the first place).......
No animosity here, I was a fan of Jimmie's during his Cup years, just an honest observation.

I'm one of those you can't imagine. Having racing of all kinds as my passion since I can remember (60+ years ago).....fandom and participation.
The racing in IndyCar is boring as week in and week out "good" racing (actually "close" is more accurate....."orchestrated" by the mandatory identical cars for the entertainment of the uninitiated) is meaningless as the aforementioned identical cars should be close and provide nought but a good "show".
