Could be, if team finds some level of consistency. Watkins Glen win lit this team's fire. Top-10 points finish an easily attainable goal. No reason this team can't win in '01. 14. Great highs in roller-coaster rookie year.
Team now needs to smooth out the big dips.
Until that first victory comes, nobody is going to give this team the respect it seeks. Steady improvement the next task. This elevator could go up quickly if Evernham-owned Dodge program gels quickly. Totally forgettable 2000 season means this team has to work its way back up this year. Waltrip knows that if he doesn't win in this car he will be the one who gets the blame.
