The Race of Champions is coming. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the event but for those of you that aren't, the event baisically takes the world's best drivers, divides them up according to country and pits them against each other on the same track. All drivers use the same machines, at the same time. Ever wonder who would win in a race between Sebastian Loeb and Michale Schumacher? How about testing a NASCAR guy against a DTM guy? All those dream scenarios come to life with this single event.For the past few years, USA has had quite the showing. In 2002, team USA even won the Nation's Cup with a dream team consisting of Jeff Gordon, Colin Edwards, and Jimmie Johnson. In 2006, both Jimmie Johnson and Scott Speed were unable to race the day fo the event due to injury, leaving Travis Pastrana to fend for himself and to single handedly represent the USA. What happened you ask? Travis finished 2nd. He beat out the worlds best but eventually lost to the Finns (Heikki Kovaleinen and Marcus Gronholm).
So the question remains, who should represent? There are certainly a number of drivers that could put on a great show. I'd love to see Nikki Hayden, Tanner Faust, Marco Andretti, or event Boris Said compete and represent the USA. Above all however, I'd like to see.....
This guy....
...and this guyHow awsome would that be? Who are your pics to represent the USA?
