Who is...
...the best fuel pilot (Top Fuel or Funny Car) currently without a ride? I figured since Jeff Arend broke the "Dean Skuza" ice, I'd take it one step further.
For those who recognize my avatar, it should come as no surprise that my vote is Brady Kalivoda.

This wasn't tough, Mike Dunn. He needs to be behind the wheel.

No offense to Brady, but how can he be deemed the best without a ride?
There are much more proven drivers out there, without rides. I honestly don't think he has enough experience to be put in that category. I just can't justify in my mind, categorizing a guy that hasn't run that many laps down the quarter mile competitively, with a guy like Mike Dunn.
Like I said. No offense to Brady. I'm totally basing my opinion on the experience factor.

Fair enough. It's hard to debate because Mike Dunn is a great driver - good call.

I'll have to go with Mike Dunn. However, I don't want him to leave the booth! He's awesome in the booth! 
I'd go with Jeggie, too if we were talking Pro Stock. I don't think he sees it like he's out of a ride though. He's doing so well where he's at.
