    Maybe he is the heir to Mario’s legacy, a racer who can compete in anything on wheels. What better compliment can a racer get than Martin’s comment, “He was fast.” Clean racing was also appreciated, I’m sure.

    You may be correct George and it certainly wouldn’t hurt the sport to have someone with Mario’s talent around.

    The closest is probably Tony Stewart if you overlook his bad attitude that is on display at times.
