Monday, January 28 Users: Kanaan a rising star ESPN.com We asked our users if they thought Tony Kanaan could win the CART title in 2002. Here are some of the responses:
Everyone knows Tony can be competitive. He's a smart, patient driver who knows how to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves. He's proven in the past that he can win races when he's in good equipment. This year he's got the advantage of having Mo Nunn's full attention, but also the distraction of having to compete in the Indy 500 in a completely different car. I certainly hope the team has the staff and funds required to pull off both the CART series and Indy in the same season. After two years with the team, Tony deserves a car underneath him that is worthy of his obvious talent. If he doesn't start winning soon, he will run the risk of being categorized with the likes of Christian Fittipalidi, Bryan Herta and Mauricio Gugelmin. Chris Wilkins Minneapolis
Tony Kanaan is very talented, and very quick. If the Mo Nunn team is ready to win, Tony will take them to Victory Lane. Chuck Bitner Elizabethtown, Ind.
Tony can do anything that he sets his mind to do ... this year it will be his turn to win the CART title. Sue Woods Mechanicsburg, Pa.
2002 could easily be Tony's best year in CART. With a little consistency, expect Tony to win at least a race or two and end up in the top-5 for the prestigious Vanderbilt Cup. Mike Quan Gardena, Calif.
During the race weekend, on the street and road courses, Tony is often fastest at the begining of the first session, only to fall back down the charts in the later sessions. On the ovals on the other hand, Mo and Tony are "on-it." Tony's next oval victory could be just around the corner (with a little luck). The engineering and driving talent is there at Mo Nunn, but Tony and his crew must work at the street and road course set-up to get to the front. With a little more effort, and a lot more luck, Tony Kanaan could be the next rising star in the FedEx Championship Series. Jonesy Morris El Dorado Hills, Calif.
Not this year. He'll have very tough competition from Kenny Brack, who showed great promise in 2001. Don't count out Jimmy Vasser at Rahal, he's hungry and signed on to great team. Cathy Shumaker Downingtown, Pa.  Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories
