I'm not saying he isn't a very good driver, but that statement alone shows his lack of experience on oval tracks. Although a lap may only be 20 seconds, you have to know every single centimeter of an oval track to do well on it. It's not like a road course where you only need to know the flow of the track, where you break, where you hit the throttle. For an oval you need to know every single bump so you know where you can go, where you can't go and what kind of moves you can pull.
Ovals aren't hard to race on, but they do command more respect than that.
