Caden Dudney?

Banged up from the first turn pile-up that Carson Wood caused last weekend. 

Only thing I've seen on it

This young guy has immense talent. Has tremendous speed at times. This post should be getting more attention, for something I'm now starting to question.   Did Caden turning pro at 16 hurt his early career?

He was grandfathered in becasue of the timing of him turning pro, but now the age limit is once again 17.

He has immense talent and speed. He has shown us flashes of both, but more often its been negative racing incidents and bad finishes. He was even benched by Star for a bit. I really want to see Dudney shine and show us his potential. There were a lot of in the know folks calling for him to podium in his first pro race. That's how much hype there was over his speed. 

Then reality set in quick with bad racing situations, not all of which were his fault, but I now feel he may have been better off for his confidence and mental side, to have waited another year to have turned pro. I think his first season would've gone better. I think his confidence would be be better. I hope Star continues to back him and give him the time it will take to turn a corner and start showing better results.
