I got to meet Tony at Las Vegas last fall the day after he almost won his debut event. He truly can drive anything and be good at it. He was also helping out on the car and not some prima donna lounging in a motorhome. I think he's great for the sport.

Certainly not the first major crossover though. Doug Kalitta adapted well, and Richard Petty, Cotton Owens, David Pearson, Mario Andretti and more all drag raced while being roundy round stars. AJ Foyt and Jimmy Bryan were successful drag racers before Indy cars.
