A great candidate for being the most deserving driver, but the most UNDER-RATED, also. He proved himself repeatedly in the Busch series working for an under-financed team and then again in the cup series. Why someone with money and backing don't give him a ride is beyond me. Guys like Petty and Ganassi must be completely out of their minds for not scooping him up. I mean, who in their right mind would choose a loser like Mike Skinner or Jeff Green to drive for them instead of Ward. Ward has numerous wins in the cup series. Gannassi would rather go with Casey Mears simply because of his famous last name than score wins with talented drivers. Hey Ward! Maybe you can talk Rusty into giving you a ride in his Busch car!
