Poll: Shouldn't Max Papis get another chance soon to race in the Sprint Cup Series?

Question

What a nice guy...I hope he has success in the future.

Answer 1

I think he should get another chance.  Nice guy or no.  Well...wait...I like that he is a nice guy but that don't win races.  Still I would like to see him sponsored and on the track again.

Answer 2

Same old story-needs a sponsor. I agree-seems to be a talented driver and nice guy.

Answer 3

Max will get another chance.....at next years road races. The owners will not give someone like him a chance. They're dying for him on road courses, won't touch him with a 10 foot pole for the others. IT's the same with Boris Said. Boris is very talented along with Max BUT yet his phone stays silent on non road racing weekends. It's a shame but that's the way fickle NASCAR politics work.

Answer 4

Why not? He seems to want to try the oval tracks too. I think too many of the "road course specialists" pigeon-hole themselves into that category.

I think there are several factors at play. Some of the those drivers may lack the personal confidence to really apply themselves on an oval track. To that, I say look at all the oval track racers that have multiple wins on road courses too. Then, I think that some of these "specialists" don't get a fair shake because a lot of them don't drive for big teams with lots of money.

I haven't followed Papis too much, but I say let him stick it out in Nationwide for a season with a full ride from a big money team and see how he does. I'd like to see him in another Cup race soon too. Maybe he can drive Petty's car...when's the last time that went to Victory Lane? 1993?

Answer 5

what has he done to deserve a cup ride? he has 7 career nationwide starts. when their are guys like stephen leicht who cant even get a nationwide ride with proven sucess no he doesnt deserve any thing.

Answer 6

no

he should stick with what he's good at

Answer 7

I think he should. I would also like to see Marcos Ambros get a few more starts in cup this season.

Answer 8

Personally, I think someone should take McDowell's place in the 00 car.  Papis would probably as good a choice as several others.

Answer 9

he should drive the 42 car! (my opinion)

yes he definitely should get a chance to come over here he has a nice personality and felt bad when the wreck happened he wanted to at least finish the race. he has good sportsmanship and yes he should i totally agree!

and good luck to him

Answer 10

i say he should get another chance. don't wait until next year, give him a ride to race now (this sunday) will ya?

Answer 11

I'd like to see him get another chance, he is a super guy, he use to be my neighbor when he was living in Newport Beach, Ca when he was driving CART/IRL a few yrs back. He is a good driver, I doubt it will happen this yr, but hopefully next yr.
