The times have changed. While I'm thrilled to see Steve and Sammy still competitive in their fifties, it ain't like it used to be. In the old days they were the dominant ones. They are still a threat to win, but it's no longer a lock that one of them will. There are several other teams and drivers that can win on a given night. I do think Sammy is doing more with less right now. I just don't think his team quite has the funding to do things the way some of the other teams are doing it. I think he's doing quite good myself.

I do not think age has any thing to do with it. All the cars are more equal now because any one can buy the parts. Karl Kinser, Bob Trostle and a few others looked at the car and all the steel parts. People told them that alum. parts would break. The took 300# to 400# off of cars. It was maybe because both were involved in drag racing and they knew what weight would do . Now every one can do it right off of shelf

Well Kraig did not start on front row and did not lead all laps. And Sammy set fast time and then got wrecked in main. He hasn't fallen off, just hasn't won in a month. He is still fast as hell and still a dirty driver, but he puts on a hell of a show.
