True...he's a true "wheelman"...I don't think you see a lot of the drivers attempt that, but Carl's just Carl.

I don't think you'd see Carl attempt it anywhere but Kansas. Unless he has to get ahead of a driver to win the title or something along those lines. A win at Kansas would be everything to him, and he's willing to do whatever he has to to get it.

And the fact that Kansas is HUGE compared to other tracks. You can see five wide in the corners in Kansas. The only other place that you can get even close to that maybe be California.
