Hard to quantify sports question

[JACK CUST]

Thremp- Whoever can afford a go-kart, basically.

Maybe I am naive, but I'm just not seeing this ridiculously high percentage of nepotism in NASCAR. I just went through this years point standings. In the top 30, the only ones that I could come up with were Earnhardt Jr. and Casey Mears who had famous fathers. I just skimmed it and might have missed someone though. There were 3-4 who have/had brothers that raced, but is that really nepotism when they were contemporaries of each other?

Also, maybe I need to get a dictionary, but I always thought that nepotism meant you also got your position without merit.
