One to keep an eye on at Bristol

[HardScrabble]

Comes as no surprise, but DJ may be looking for an opportunity to get Jeff's attention (again) at Bristol this weekend. Haven't seen anything from DJ himself, and probably won't. But in an article which focused on Rusty Wallace, Rusty made an interesting comment. And yes, I realize that Rusty may have his own bias on the deal.

And read between the lines, I have often said you don't see a lot fo folks mess with DJ on track. Partly because he is generally a very clean driver, but just as much because it just ain't smart.

"I guess his (Gordon's) new-found enemy right now is Dale Jarrett," Wallace said. "He needs to stay away from Dale because Dale is plenty mad at him right now. He got into a pretty big fender-banging deal at Darlington that Dale didn't feel was called for," Wallace said.

Let's see if DJ holds his temper at Bristol, where emotions always run high! It's going to be an exciting weekend of racing!

You need to keep an eye on everyone. All the emotions that come out at Bristol is one of the best parts of the race.

DJ will drive Sunday's race just like it is Sunday's race, not like any extension of any previous race. I would put money on it...it's not his style first of all to carry grudges over onto the track and also his interest is winning and not making any other statements. Now for Rusty, I would say that he woudn't mind making a few statements on the track, if he was smart tho he would let the checkers do the talking for him. Watch out tho if he doesn't have a car capable of winning.

Yea I remember Kyle running Jeff Gordon up towards the wall when gordon refused to let him get his lap back, But lets hope it is the other way around with Kyle leading.
