I don't know Danny, have only spoken with him briefly on a couple of occasions. I think where a lot of people may get rubbed wrong, is by the "idea" whoever may be pushing it is that Danny is a low budget little guy. For the real little guys it is kinda a slap in the face.
While I don't pretend to know Danny's finances, A guy who is given/inherited or had a high level car paid for by others is not a little guy regardless of your personal budget. When you start with a famous father who's name is such a big deal it opens a ton of doors in every way. Especially sponsorship. your not a little guy. You have an instant fan base that supports you in every way, possibly free labor, free transport for your trailer, fuel, tires... the list goes on and on. People going to bat trying to fund your trip to Bolivia. Your not a little guy. Something a real "little" guy is not likely to get.
I have said it before on this site. I am never going to complain about money or someone elses resources, I am choosing to try and compete at a very high level. Money typical wins in any high level racing. I can just try to do the best I can with my personal resources. But lets be clear I don't feel that the Challenger OPERATION can claim to be a little underdog. And when anybody claims otherwise they lose a little something in my eyes. This is just a personal opinion.
I hope Danny does well and can accomplish his personal goals whatever they may be. But give credit where it is due and don't idolize someone for the wrong reasons. He has still had to make a lot of effort to get that car to where it is today. I certainly am not trying to take that away
Anybody who can go over 400 has my respect, Anybody who can do it on their own has more of my respect.
