How can someone named Scott Speed not win every #nascar race?

Scott Speed is the best race car driver name since Dick Trickle.—

@scottspeed Had a huge smile on my face when you lead the #Dayton500 !! Hope these last 20 laps go good—

A textbook aptonym if there ever was one.
I don't want Scott Speed to win the #Daytona500 just so we don't have to deal with all the annoying puns.—
