Call me analytical, but I don't see anything wrong about these drivers getting pilots' licenses and flying, or getting aircraft. Heck, getting an instrument rating helps prevent the John-John Syndrome.

I guess having nearly everybody max out on Front Row Joe caused Yahoo to put him in the "B" category. He also averaged the 5th-highest points last year among the 2006 "B" drivers (and 12 points more than the next-highest "regular C" driver, Kyle Petty). I am surprised they didn't move Crash down to "C" though.

I figured they would move Crash down to "C". Speaking of "C" drovers, here's one that's got a full-time ride.

Williams Co., Of America, Inc.
CONOVER, N.C. – With backing from Christian businessmen nationwide, Victory Motorsports will field driver Morgan Shepherd on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series for the entire 2006 season. The announcement was made Monday by Tony and Brian Mullet, two businessmen and brothers from Ohio, who are leading the effort.
“This is a tremendously exciting time for me as a race car driver but is also tremendously exciting because of the possibilities in spreading the Gospel,” said Shepherd, 64, who is becoming the oldest full-time driver in NASCAR Nextel Cup Series history. Shepherd has dedicated his career, as well as his life, to spreading the Gospel and the salvation story. He has competed in a car emblazoned with “Racing With Jesus.”

Shepherd is testing in Daytona Beach, Fla., through Wednesday, preparing for the Daytona 500 in February. Doug George is the crew chief of the #89 Dodge, and the team will be using Joey Arrington engines.
