I couldn't agree more!
I downloaded the race after I heard and Summerton had a masterful drive. He was still pushing on the final lap... I don't think they would have caught him, he's not a fluke.
He's been the best driver Team USA has put in the car since they started.
One more full season in the car and I think they can pull off at least a Top 5 finish in the Championship. As I told Pops its nice to hear the national anthem in an international setting, especially in motorsports. So many of our young drivers are focused on going into Cup where the last place car can get at least $100,000 for their bad luck or stupid driving error.
Other series pay so much lower than even some of NASCAR other touring series that the focus becomes on turning left only.
Summerton has won in everything he's driven thus far and that always a good sign.
Let's just hope Ford, Cerbus or GM don't throw a 7 figure sum at him to be a developmental driver for them in the "Taxi Cab" series.
