I'll give credit where it's due, but Casey is not on the same par as the "Great Ones". He's a runner, not a fighter.

Here's the thing about all that...

You can only race within the rules and technology that exists during your time and the idea is to be the best of whatever era to which you belong...And if that's the traction control era, then so be it -- but ultimately, that's the goal for Stoner, Rossi, and the rest...
