In today's world, nobody. You can't do the stuff he did anymore because even if you had the balls the money holders won't let you. He is the spectacle that he is because he will never be equaled.
I hope John wakes up and smells the coffee. There is nothing wrong with his abilities as a driver. The game itself is turning on him for whatever reason. I’m 70 yrs old myself so I understand the hype. I remember Ennis. He did nothing then. And now this latest crash and his health is worst than it was in Ennis. You only get two strikes and I’m very afraid the next time will be his last. He’s one of the greatest to get behind the wheel of a funny car and he has a lot of info to give his girls and other young people in the race game, provided he can stay alive to give the info. And at his rate of debilitating crashes, his future looks very very bleak if he doesn’t come from behind that wheel. He can’t help anyone if he is 6 feet under and it has nothing to do with him personally. It’s the game and the game is not dealing with him fairly. He needs to get out now while he functioning properly so he can be a help to others who do what he does. I hope that this is not personal to him. I’ve seen this scenario before and they never end well. Get well soon and get out of the car sooner. Your life is playing a dangerous game with reality and reality never loses. I would like you to be whole, in one piece cause your fans deserve that but that will not be possible if you don’t let the car go. I have watched you race all of my life and now I would like just see you alive and well the rest of my life. Life ain’t fair most of the time. However death is not fair anytime. Jim Brown was a great running back but that target on his back made him get out before his time and he didn’t have to think about it. He did the right thing and I hope you do too. Your loss to the racing world would be devastating to all concerned and totally unnecessary. You know who’s knocking. Don’t answer the door😎
