"until Earnhardt gave him a ride."
Exactly the point of seeing him in a good ride.
My point is that Mikey couldn't win anywhere in several rides. RCR and sibsequenty DEI were known for good plate cars, and even Mikey manages 4 plate wins (but no wins anywhere besides the plate tracks were a strong motor and good aero make you practically invincible). Now Hendrick and Gibbs have displaced DEI with better plate packages. Mikey is going from a chance to win four races a year back to nothing - watch.
