Howso?

I'd wager that clutch ability is as much of a myth in motorsports as it is in baseball. Even in NASCAR, the same person who's won the most races in the past year and a half, most times by coming through "in the clutch", stuffed his car into the tires at the entrance to the pitlane.

In 1999, the world driving champion spins his car twice while leading comfortably. Yet he clinches his title with one of the greatest clutch drives ever against one of the greatest drivers in the history of motorsport.
