I believe the worst thing that could happen with him would be to move up to Cup and spend most of the year not qualifying for the races.
Never seen anyone refer to the average finish as a statistic - have I lived a 'sheltered life' or is it commonly used over your way mugglenot??

I would have thought the relevant issues for a rookie are is he quick both in the races & practice, can he race/win?

Experience is one thing especially when you have never seen the circuits before - you'd think a rookie like Ambrose would get better results because he has been there before.

Average finish, cant see the relevance - motor racing has to be all about winning.
