That's a pretty solid group of drivers to be associated with as far as wins in 200 starts! :) If Carl wins this weekend, he could tie Bill Elliott with 17 wins in 200 starts. :D Go Carl and the 99 team! :)

I'm kind of surprised he has that many starts already but Carl has been racing a good 5 years at least. It doesn't seem that long though.
