Question re Johnny

[71Fan]

After the race when the reporter asked Gentleman Johnny if he woulda used the chrome horn on Kurt......

Did Benson say....."I did"....or "I tried"......?????

All I remember is that I was kinda shocked by his candor.

I would imagine Johnny had to pinch himself much like Martin will if he wins the cup.Prolly happy to be in contention to smell a win. Nice run Johnny,and hats off to many who have not felt a top 10 in awhile.

Tell ya PB, it surprised the heck out of me. Gosh I hope he gets one soon, but glad it wasn't today.

71fan, he said "I did", but qualified it by saying he wasn't close enough for it to work.

He did tap Kurt once in the closing, but wasn't close enough to make it hard enough to move Kurt.

Thats right TRL,A hungry driver will do things he would not think of if asked would he.Johnny is a racecar driver,Hell I even saw Martin with a little spunk in his monkey today when he was holding Tony off.Two people are in a race car at all times.Thats what makes them Winston cup drivers.

Thanks TRL......one of my fave racer comments is the Skinner one about putting his own Ma in to the wall for his first win.
