Jimmie Johnson Wins Martinsville!!!
Just read where Jimmie won convincingly at Martinsville, Virginia over the weekend!! What was this his 80th win or something like that?
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy or a better driver! Class & dignity all the way and by far the best driver since David Pearson!!
I have a question for the gimmick lovers here (front and center gimmick boy muddy!). According to what I read Jimmie is locked into the silly gimmick race that will determine the bogus Cup championship. What is stopping the 48 team from opting to set out the next couple races and get ready for the last race that determines the whole season championship (which is bull$hit!). Taking 3 weeks to get ready for the one race championship might give them the edge in winning it. Ya' never know, some idiot like pee wee jr. might run out of talent and cause Jimmie to wreck and get hurt in the remaining 2 races before Homestead. Why not play it safe and have the car super prepared for the last gimmick race with no chance of Jimmie being caught up in something bad prior to Homestead?
It's okay to miss races and still win the championship, isn't it? It's been done before and in a much bigger way. The championship is already a sham but I'd still like to see one of the greatest drivers and a class act win another (7th) championship, so what is there to lose?
