Well what do you want? He was the all time winningest
driver from a series that losers the likes of Mario Andretti,
Emerson Fittipaldi, Nigel Mansell, Bobby Rahal, AJ Foyt,
Rick Mears, Gordon Johncock, Johnny Rutherford, Juan
Pablo Montoya, the Unsers and untold numbers of other
total amateurs and complete failures participated in.

Surely mere mortals, unlike yourself, can't reasonably be
expected to bask in and savor the sheer fame, fortune and
unearthly accomplishment that gods like you regularly enjoy.
