Yes, Luck plays a very large part in NASCAR. There have been some incidents on the track that he just couldn't help but be involved in. BUT, I think it really revolves around the contract issues. No matter what they say, these kind of things really have a bearing on what they do on the track. Think back to what happened last year with Dale Jr. Once the contract gets worked out, the presure will be off, and I believe the results will improve.
