Those guys and gals are still natural drivers to me, and once again my opinion, a lot of those drivers are hovering around in the bracket ranks. If experience is a key, then making a dozen or more passes a weekend can certainly be a benefit.

A natural has an innate ability. In born ability.

A natural is someone who can not race for a long time an come back and race at the same or near same level.

Or someone with no experience and gets in a car and wins, then repeats.

Natural is inborn ability. Individual ability.

Natural -

a person regarded as having an innate gift or talent for a particular task or activity.

Innate - inborn; natural.

I say get all the gadgets out of the cars and you will see who the REAL natural drivers are. As simple as it gets I know a foot brake driver that couldn't win anything off the foot, put a button in there and he visits the winners circle often. And that was a pretty elementary.

Someone who has the ability to adapt quickly and can turn on win lights in whatever car he is sitting in.

I think Peter Biondo is the best natural driver period. Heck, he can drive a wheel barrow and win!


When everything is coming your way, your probably in the wrong lane.

Gadget didn't make him better, his competition got weaker. Wink
