I would take a closer look at the results of Pagenaud and there context before making such vague statements.

From all quarters his rookie year was applauded, yours is the first criticism I have come across.

No disrespect to IPS (or even Atlantics) but I think this more of a lack of other options. Two HUGE drives go to the Engine suppliers favourite boy and an ALMS steerer.

Does Loyd driving for D&R make it one of the best teams?
