Like John Roberts says, it's better to be lucky than good, but when you have both you have a chance to win the championship. Jimmie has both.jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-70588969997589917942010-06-23T13:10:39.953-07:002010-06-23T13:10:39.953-07:00KLV....lol...

He didn't say which restart. <br /><br />Apparently, as many take outs as they showed on TV, there must have been 3 times as many! I'm still hearing about hard feelings today between drivers that I never saw get together.<br /><br />One thing I noticed Sunday was Tony Stewart. At least 3 times when a faster car was behind him, he pulled over enough to let the guy pass him. Maybe that's why Tony finished in the top-10, and a lot of other guys didn't?

I think Sonoma was some sort of cathartic release for a few of these pent up drivers - being able to punt people at will with no consequences. I thought JPM with Logano was pretty obnoxious!<br /><br />Shocking to see JGR melt down - and melt down they did, man Kyle and Denny were both acting out in the garage...but you are right Gene if that were Kyle not Gordon it'd be a whole other story!klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-10661376690202951352010-06-23T04:05:16.958-07:002010-06-23T04:05:16.958-07:00Jon.... sounds like a good idea.... until it's...Jon.... sounds like a good idea.... until it's your driver that gets taken out.

Of course, it won't happen if he hits on the setup like he did on Sunday. I wouldn't give it a black flag; I'd give it a green flag. I'd like to see the Daytona Road Course or Road Atlanta. Perhaps Sonoma in mid-late November.jon_464https://www.blogger.com/profile/11134872784295839356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-3650858212026213582010-06-22T14:19:39.126-07:002010-06-22T14:19:39.126-07:00Photogr....

You're probably right about a teammate taking out the other Championship contenders. <br /><br />It would make the last race 'must see TV', not the snorefest we have now. I guess it would depend on who won the title to determine whether I like this idea or not.

In ...I know... I know... But it was fun to watch! <br /><br />In my very poorly educated opinion, road racing is a crap shoot. There are no givens. Maybe it's the great equalizer and as a crap shoot / great equalizer, a road race would make the ultimate outcome of the Chase more interesting. <br /><br />Could you see it as the last race of the season? Forget Homestead, bring on Sebring! 17 turns, 6 straightaways (nearly straight on a couple of 'em) and a scrambled up mess! JJ would be pulling his hair out and Jeffie would be wiping out anyone not affiliated with HMS!<br /><br />Talk about drama!<br /><br />It'd be better than a restrictor race in my book...<br /><br />Now give me hell!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.com
