This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit.

I’m doing this before the NASCAR Cup Series championship has been decided.

If you care, my guy is Ross Chastain. I like his attitude and his commitment to winning. But I really like his dedication to team.

I’ve never heard him denigrate his Pit Crew or others on the sidelines when the performance on the track goes sideways. I got tired of hearing that from others in the Cup field.

When others haven’t had the confidence to take the blame for a loss, they were quick to point to someone else and blame them. Even heard that Saturday night after the Xfinity championship race in Phoenix.

I see this Cup Series Final Four as a different breed of stock car driver. There’s very little finger pointing. So far, the grudges have been kept to a minimum.

Still these guys are Old School competitive. Maybe that’ll change when they start making the millions.

Obviously, there’s a champion in the bunch. And I think there’s a champion’s attitude and personality as well. That’s disappearing from some of the others in the field who’ve found a way to put an “I” in team.

Peace.
