Most race car driver/owners don't turn the wrenches themselves.
Downing is the #1 reason Mazda was successful in IMSA racing and it wasn't because he knew how to fix the motor but because he could bring a team together that could. Plus build the chassis, find sponcorship, and drive the car too.
You think Penske, Ginassi, Childress or anyone else worth a damn doesn't use an engine specialist?
