Matt In Jimmie's Head?

reck said:
He didn't have a bad race. He led 120+ laps and finished 5th.

On what other form of motorsports is that having a bad race I wonder.

Well it may not have been a bad race for Johnson per-se, I just think he could've won that race if he didn't have so many re-starts on the outside.
 
Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
The fact that we're this late in the season, with the top two drivers having both good and bad moments throughout the season, and still being tied in the points (except for Matt having more wins :D ) can't be all that bad.

When everybody hypes up Martinsville all week as a surefire win for the 48 and he doesn't win, it's a bad race ;)

Yeah he definitely drew the short straw on multiple restarts. I thought Chad was gonna have a heart attack :D

They do the same with Jeff to a lesser extent ever since Jimmie took over but they do.

I remember when the road courses used to be surefire wins for Gordon too. :(

Kyle Jimmy OR SOMEBODY step it up !!!!!!!!!!! Hell even Harvick or that Gordon guy

o_O have you watched any of the races this year?
I was at Vegas and had Matt on the radio for the closing laps where he kicked Kasey's ass on old tires.
Give credit where credit is due. Matt has 7 wins on the season and has led 1636 laps; second only to JJ who has led only 93 more laps than Matt.

You havent given up on Kyle have you Bobby

Absolutely not. I've been a Kyle fan since he drove a truck for Jack. I'm glad he's out of the 50 cent 5 car.

I do agree that Matts had a magic season but thats as far as I go
If he wins this cup Im gonna have a MAJOR fit

Yeah, I never heard of anybody actually rooting for Kenseth until he became a God in a JGR machine. Not that I have much room to talk about equipment doing most of the work, but it's been pretty obvious this year with Matt having some awesome success at tracks that he used to be terrible at (Martinsville, for one).

First it was Harvick, now is Kenseth.

What exactly is your problem with those two?

Dont get me wrong, I dont like Kenseth much either but he's tolerable when he's not trying to prove he's better than he is on the track at times by forcing the issue with other drivers.

He has clicked with Ratcliff, I was pissed that Kyle didnt end up with him. The equipment must really suck at Rousch.
I heard that JGR was running the same setup in all 3 cars at Martinsville, Kyle is known for his ability to give good info on setups but he barely beat Danica !!!
I think its Rogers but maybe I am wrong
 
Yeah, well you can't go by set-ups because different driving styles require different set-ups. One driver might be smooth with a certain set-up while another driver's style might not be as conducive.

Mainly I dont like Kenseth because he's always wrecking Gordon for one reason or another.

You can say its an unwarranted dislike for the guy but hey cant be messing with my driver all the time. lol

And who does Harvick always have in his sights ----------- Kyle Busch

I was fine with Kenseth when he was putzin around in Jacks Ford but when he went to JGR I knew how it was going to be and I was right
I am fiercely loyal to my driver as you probably already guessed

And Kyle has improved because of veteran Matt coming to the JGR house ;)
 
Kyle is raw, hardcore, foot-on-the-floor talent.
Matt is, whats-my-car-doing, save-my-stuff-for-the-end, analytical driver.
Somewhere in-between is the ultimate NASCAR driver.
