I would go out on a limb and guess niether one of them has even done an oil change before.
Tony came up through the ranks racing sprints and midgets in the Midwest and did a bunch of wrenching there.... Now the crew chiefs and engineers probably won't even let him!!!! When he drove for Bob East in USAC it was great to watch him race, knew he was going places but I always figured he'd stay in open wheel... Guess the money is just too dang good in NASCAR to go anywhere else when you have that kind of talent.

As for new builders, Kenny Davis named a bunch. IMO his own name should be at the head of the list!!!! So many new builders surfacing these days, it's going to be interesting to say the least!!!!
