Victory Celebration

Johnny ripped up a few yards of sod and smoked a pair of Goodyears pretty good following his first career win. But he swears he had something more dramatic in mind, from the sound of it...mcuh more dramatic.

I really hope we get a chance to see find out what this is!:D

Post race interview quote:

(DO YOU THINK YOU GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY WITH YOUR VICTORY CELEBRATION IN THE GRASS?) "I looked in there and I think I only got about one or two yards worth of grass. I was hoping for about five to 10. But, hey - whatever. I could almost tell you what we wanted to do, but we didn't do it because I figured we were going to race this car again."

(WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO?) "I can't tell you. You're going to have to wait and see."
 
I'm so happy for Johnny, that post-race celebration was well-deserved!
 
I have wondered if it would possible to intentionally "barrell roll" the car in the grass.

Might not be advisable, but it would be spectacular!:D
 
I was typing that HS, but deleted it because I disn't know how well it would sit...but that's exactly what I was thinking...
 
Thought about it a sec myself.....

But if I won my first WC after trying so hard for so long I would not hesitate to play Joe Chitwood if I could!

Would set a mighty dangerous precedent among these supercompetitors, the next guy might try to outshine it. Probably earn myself a big-time fine too!:)
 
rofl!!

Now wouldn't that get the "I hate victory celebrations" crowd in an uproar!

:lol2:
 
Although the barrell roll in the grass would be spectacular, just once I'ld like to see somebody lay a big ol wet one on Miss Winston.:D
 
Barrel rolls would be just fine by me, then again the car would never pass inspection. Oh well, I think the fans would enjoy it.
 
So true, Ciggie. Then NASCAR would have to fine him for not passing inspection. The track owner would be upset for trashing the grass. The guys back at the shop would have to fix one messed up racecar. The team owner would be upset that he lost a good car. :p I say, go for it Johnny!! That would be one heck of a victory celebration.
 
That was by far the most fun I have had at a Cup race and that includes the couple I have been to that DJ has won. I have waited so long and patiently for Johnny to win that he could have done burnouts, barrel rolls, and donuts in the grass for an hour afterwards and I would have been delighted!!!!

Finally! Here is my all time favorite pic (one I have waited so long to take!)

So you were at the race?

That is the final straw...on my ignore list:D

Was that a great run between Mark and Johnny or what? Neither car really had the track gripped , they were way up on the steering wheels and doing a dem good job of hanging on!

Those "late pitters" pert near gave me palpitations though when they came charging through.;)
 
When Johnny went for the lead and DJ was in the way, I was hollering at DJ, once they worked that out I wanted the race to end right then and there cuz I didnt think I could take 20+ laps of willing him to hang on!

It was teriffic and Mark and Johnny were awesome! I have to say I was SO glad it was Mark and not KB that Johnny was racing. I dont think KB would have been near as courteous, especially since Johnny used a little chrome horn of his own last week to try to make something happen.

What really surprised me was after Johnny got by Kurt the crowd just went wild, then when Mark got by Kurt it was like no one was sure what to do....so many had been cheering so hard for Mark but I think they knew what the win for JB would mean. It was real cool!
 
That's a nice picture, I like the trail of smoke following him, always good to see.
 
im just waiting for someone to accidently hit the wall while doing burnouts lol

i love to see those guys celebrate...they deserve it
