Lil' shrub ran out of gas with 2 to go after leading most of the race!

Mark Martin now only 73 pts. behind Jimmie for points lead.

[dinojen]

Bwahahahhahaaa... little shrub goes putt putt... can't stand that guy... so glad he ran out of gas...:thumbsup:

Hubby was really ticked with what Johnson said after the race.. just like no big deal.. my crew fixed my car.. heck he had three crews working on his car and he just rambled on about himself.. I usually really like Jimmie and so does hubby.. but what he said just wasn't very cool for as hard as they worked to get him back on the track... JMOOC.

I totally missed everything since I was watching my football team lose and just tuned in to the last few laps. :laugh:

I don't even watch anymore this yr because Jr is just getting worse every race. I don't understand how he can't get his car dialed in or he's not that great of a drive anymore.

[birdwatch]

I don't even watch anymore this yr because Jr is just getting worse every race. I don't understand how he can't get his car dialed in or he's not that great of a drive anymore. I think he is still a great driver. I'm sad for him with the troubles he has been having with the car, the staff, wrecks, etc. While some of us are big fans of other drivers I think many of us still wish Jr. more success than he has been having.

[sunstar]

Hi everybody :seeya: Here's my picks for Phoenix tomorrow!

Jimmie Johnson
Denny Hamlin
Greg Biffle
Tony Stewart
Jeff Gordon

[HansieDZ]

Absolutely!
That's just the way I feel. I thought when Jr. joined the Hendricks' stable with Jimmie and Jeff et al,that he'd finally be able to blossom.
He's a good driver and fans love him yet he's the Chicago Cubs of Nascar racing (the "Loveable Loser").

My picks: (no surprises here lol)

1.Jeff Gordon
2.Jimmie Johnson
3.Mark Martin
4.Matt Kenseth
5.Tony Stewart

And a safe race to all!

[littlewheels]

Hey'ya Hoosier! Was it Jr's garage crew or pit crew in the accident last nite / this a.m. Whoever their spokesman is "didn't want to discuss it". ?? Don't get over here much, but I'll make the exception this time. :lol:

Phoenix picks in no particular order ~~

Johnson
Gordon (J)
Martin
Kahne
Busch (Kurt)

Safe racing guys... and leave little shrub in the dust pretty please....:tonguewag:

[Hanalei]

All I have to say is I hope Mark M wins the Championship I'm tired of Jimmie winning it all. And don't even get me started about Kyle or I'll get banned :)

[Dawn]

[Dawn]

Four-time NASCAR champ Johnson is AP's top athlete

There was little recognition outside the racing world when Jimmie Johnson won his first NASCAR championship.

Same with his second, and again with his third.

But four straight championships? That's a different story.

Johnson, the first driver in NASCAR history to win four consecutive titles, earned mainstream recognition Monday when he was honored as the Male Athlete of the Year by members of The Associated Press.

Johnson received 42 votes from editors at U.S. newspapers which are members of the AP. Tennis star Roger Federer (30 votes) and Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt (29) were the only other athletes with totals in the double digits.

Howdy! I'd take JJ as my co-pilot any day! I'm just wondering if Danica really thinks she can "play with the big boyz". I do believe she's in for a rude awakening in Cup Series. We'll see how long she lasts. Hope you have a Merry X-Mas! Vroom-Vroom!

[FROTTEANTAR]

You think those guys are bad? You should see some of the Japanese GT stuff Ive seen, where cars that have spun drive along the track the wrong way to turn around when cars are heading for them at full tilt, with the inevitable consequences.

I wasn't saying they were "bad", give me NASCAR, F1, Midgets, Monsters, ovals, dirt tracks, road course, not every racer fits into certain track events. IMO, Danica is a misfit in Cup without getting her feet wet in NW first. Almost comparable to some posters on mesage boards. Have a good one!
