I dont think anyone would expect him to put up the numbers that he put up this year if he went to a bigger venue. However, there is one number that I think you would see increase that is more important than udrs, win, etc. That's purse money. Who cares if he doesnt bat .400, and win 700 races. If he bats .250 against a better driver colony and wins 300 races, but earns four or five million in purses instead of 2.2 million, is that not a positive move??? I will admit, Dan is a close friend of mine but trust me, he has infuriated me on more than one occasion about some of his drives, however, I never question his will to win and his effort on the racetrack. You just better know to have them tight and ready to rock when he gets behind them, that is just Dan. That being said, the best thing for him would be to take a shot to make bigger money. And yes, to all the doubters, he will certainly not have the win % or udrs that he had this year if he does that, but I think, if put in the right spot that you will see in time that Dan can drive at most places and be successful.
