He should do the challenge AND write out the big check.

Yep.

 

[BobbyFord]

Jeff Gordon has more Cup Poles than Jimmie Johnson has Cup wins.
Just sayin'.

 

[StandOnIt]

Johnson is in a serious tailspin, 30th between Gilliland and Ryan Truex? give me a break, I don't see how much worse they could be if they were trying

 

[FenderBumper]

Thank you. I sometimes forget what thread I'm in and play follow the leader.

Someone mentioned her name and you got a woodie.

We know who your leader is.

And?

 

[The Nature Boy]

They're probably running some experimental stuff in preparation for The Chase.

They'll be good in time for Chicago.

I don't know, they showed up with a vibration, changed four sets of tires and still had it. Looks like they had it qualifying too.

 

[FenderBumper]

And?

and......You're a great 1 hand typist?

 

[The Nature Boy]

It's Jimmie Johnson though. He always seems to turn it on when The Chase starts.

I swear, the guy could go from 5 straight finishes outside of the top 30 to winning the 5 races in The Chase.

Do bean bags vibrate at 200mph?

Did they really try 4 different sets, or just another set of 4? Didn't Harvick have a vibration too?

What a baby!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Johnson's four finishes before last year's Chase were 40th, 36th, 28th, and 40th. They've got room to experiment or sandbag or whatever.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Yeah, we've hit the time of the year where Jimmie sandbags it and everyone goes "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE 48?"

 

[DanicaFreak]

and then he takes the chase.

Booooooooooooooooooooooo Probably scared to get his hair wet.

Got called out in the #ALSIceBucketChallenge by my ole pal @DaleJr Watch for it tomorrow gonna get wet and cold but I'm calling out 3 more

Becoming a regular occurrence ain't it?

This is just textbook Jimmie. If you're a Johnson fan, this is your month to take a break and come back in September.

 

[FenderBumper]

Blown tire, wrecks and slow cars.

I think Chad is burnt out on all this racing stuff.

He should adjust some heights so he can get his yearly vacation in before The Chase starts.

 

[BobbyFord]

Textbook Jimmie didn't count on Textbook Jeffy coming on so strong.
I think Jeff is the more talented driver, hands down.

Too bad he's so friggin' old.

 

[BobbyFord]

It's the only shot Jimmie has at Jeff's win record. Bummer is, Jeff isn't done winning.

 

[BobbyFord]

Too bad he's so friggin' old.

You know what? He is old by today's standards. But he's really still so good. I've never been one to fly the Gordon banner but he is one of the all-time best and he will be a "modern-era" legend.

 

[FenderBumper]

I still wonder how JJ will perform after Chad retires, which may be after next year....if you believe what Chad said after signing his last contract.

It's great to see Jeff come to life again. For too long, just running OK was OK with him.

 

[BobbyFord]

The evidence supporting criminal charges is conspicuously absent given what we now know about the case. Ward recklessly choose to walk into an active and highly dangerous racetrack exposing himself to injury or death. An experienced professional driver such as Stewart had a right to expect that his fellow drivers would conduct themselves in a safe and professional manner during the race.

Nice and rational assessment on the legality of what WE KNOW happened that night.

Tony Stewart is a famous and successful racecar driver, which, unfortunately, means he will likely write a check.

For sure.

I think we will finally see whether Jimmie's success is from pure driver talent or a product of awesome team chemistry.

It's always a combination of both, but we may see which part was most important to their success.

I agree.

At least Steve wore a Tshirt and shorts. DaleJr cheated having on his firesuit. I think he ought to have a re-do in shorts and T-shirt.

 

[mike honcho]

Courtney Force can do it but Jimmie won't?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Jeff Gluck manned up



And I LOVE who he called out.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Patrick cheated too with her firesuit.....posted vid in Patrick thread

Steve's from Maine though. He probably has a higher cold tolerance than anyone in the garage.

 

[Clutch]

In discussion. Look calm Jimmie....don't set him off!
