I agree with your assessment of Lazarro. And everyone is pulling for Sam to have big success.
But no one should overlook Jacques Lazier. He is better than anyone knows right now. He needs some experience, but he will get that if he keeps it out of the wall. Right now he is a little bit wild, probably from too much hunger, but he will have good advice coming from both Buddy and Dad (no slouch, either). With the Menard budget and engines, he is also going to be really tough. With Buddy, it will be like the Unsers all over again.
