Do you think Jimmy even stayed at the race??? or watched the end??? Hell, he might not even be up yet!!!

I did watch everything except the first 30 laps or so----would of liked more on track action instead of the garage stuff fixing Dmobile(Danica) but the track action (racing ) was boring--at least the last 100 miles weren't all planned pit stops( I've not enjoyed the 500 mile races ever since they went to the smaller fuel cells years ago to create more stops/action???????)

Have to give Jr some credit that he didn't just slam the two fords hoping to get thru the debris for the checker(like some old timers did )

He gets a lot of flak for not meeting expectations, some deserved, some not. But I think he and Kenseth really showed how a plate race should be run. No doubt their equipment was a big part of it, but at just over 100 miles to go, when the weather predictions showed possible rain coming, those two hooked up together and moved from roughly mid pack to the front in fairly short order. Shows an understanding of how that game is played well. Kenseth ended up with the advantage of a team mate, while Jr. didn't apperar to have any committed "friends" up front when needed. Gotta say, he made the most of it despite being a somewhat "lone ranger".

He's probably sleeping in, Jerry, unless Hendrick's woke him up with a phone call. During the long delay one of the drivers, when asked what they were talking about in the big group mentioned they were saying that Jimmie was probably already home, and maybe in bed!! And ya' gotta think that some of those old timers were looking at that final lap hollering, "Bump 'em, Junior, Bump 'em!! Don't be a (pansy)!!"
