A perfect example among others of how JJ reacts when he get pushed.

The funny part was Jeff didn't even touch the 48 car. lol

Looked to me like the #48 blocked him and then got angry when the #24 didn't retaliate LOL.

What was it Gordon said, he wants to be raced differently than everyone else?

Yes, something like that.

Not really sure why JJ was mad, but it's obvious he was. Way to potentially throw away a good finish JJ.

Has anyone said drivers should push JJ more to shake him out of his zone? lol
 
Restarts shake JJ up. So they changed the rule. It's good to be the champ.

no matter what JJ says, Brad rattled him last year. I don't know if it made JJ want to beat him more, leading to over driving and mistakes on pit road, but he was lucky to still be in it at Phoenix.

I don't think it's a ridiculous notion to think that JJ can be rattled if pushed out of his comfort zone. If the other drivers want to see him continue his dominance then they should continue letting him pass cleanly when he moves up on them.

Or, they could use his ass up every chance they get and try to rattle his cage.

I think a lot of fans would love to see it.
 
Kenseth not too good out of the box at Homestead.

First practice...

11. JJ
16. Harvick
19. Kenseth
 
JJ seems to be rattled easily if you confront him.

I didn't see Brad do that last year. JJ suffered things out of his control. Brad still didn't change the outcome. Car part failures did.

Also, rain has bencome a theme here for the past few years. Time for a change of venues?

I dont like the fact that the quals may get canceled and put JJ on the pole completely sealing the deal.

Yep.

Watching him has been painful the last couple of years. Seems like that switch to the Gibbs team set him back abit and then you add the injuries.

Cant believe Vilapotto has overcome Bubba in such a small period of time in championships at least.

Hoping for him to get back in form and start doing his thing again.
 
Holy crap Gordon is deadset on finishing the season on a whimper.
 
Liking that 78 next to Matt on the front row.
What are the odds that JoLo gets out of JJ's way and lets him up there to try and lead the first lap?
 
Looks like the Hendrick boys put all their eggs on that 48 basket for quals. 3 out of 4 qualified pretty deep.
 
Kenseth will pull them all to the green on Sunday.

They had a great battle a couple weeks ago at the Monster Energy Cup. Stewart came out on top. I cannot wait for Supercross.

Anyways, JJ is gonna need to wreck. End of story

Thats why JJ is a FIVE TIME soon to be SIX Time Cup Champion because he rattles so easy :XXROFL:

I liked this post but I dont really like this post... just that you said the exact same thing again lmao... anyway, I think the thing is that no one messes with him.. and he drives super clean. He rarely gets into those issues so it's a very rare thing to see him rattled. Doesn't mean its not easy to do just because no one does it.
 
Kenseth has showed his hand, going to try to run out front and be a rabbit to put pressure on the 48. they spent all kinds of time on qualifying runs in practice and it paid off. But he is surrounded by drivers who don't give a flip, Logono would wreck his own mother, Kurt is right next to him, you think he cares? I don't think he has forgotten the dump by Kenseth. Kez is still thinking he is wearing a white hat, so he out of all of them probably will race clean. I don't know about the other two.

I could see Joey going three wide for the lead again like last week :) Except at this track he gets it.
 
Maybe Hamlin will quickly remove Logano from the equation, before he gets a chance to do something stupid.

I could see him doing something out of his talent range and screwing up the chances of one of the three cup contenders. :cool:
