Tony Clifton should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

AJ has a 3 year 9 million contract to race NASCAR. I spoke to a relative of his recently. AJ would have like to stayed in Champ Car but NASCAR was giving him 9 million reasons to race with them.

I doubt AJ will ever be back in open wheel cars. By the time his contract with NASCAR is done he will be in his late 20's and will have to re-learn open wheel driving style.

NASCAR is the retirement series anyway. Once you get there as long as you keep you image clean and can deal with sponsorship commitments you are never out of a ride.
