Happy Birthday To The Greatest NASCAR Driver Of Them All!!

[kidrock]

You are exactly correct Kid but with most every sport comes rule changes... I do like Jimmy Johnson as a racecar driver and an individual but he wouldnt have those championships under the old format Gordon would have 4 more and Hard telling about the rest of the field lol...

Oh yeah I take nothing away from Jimmy and he is a class act there is no disputing that.

They need to with Chad like they did Gary Nelson and put him in charge of teching the cars.

[TS FAN]

Some people tout the chase as a gimmick, EXCEPT when Jimmie wins it. The last race at Homestead exposed everything that is wrong with the chase. Most notably that drivers that normally would have challenged Johnson on the last restart couldn't risk causing him to spin or wreck. A race that was handed to him by an incredible chain of events. This started with Edwards feeling the need to block and take out the 22 because of this chase format. Johnson is obviously a good driver, but in reality he would have about 3 championships if not for the chase. Gordon would have had at least 6 and maybe seven for instance. I was completely turned off by the whole silly mess. As far as Knaus is concerned, he is clever and has put his driver in position to win a lot of races and chases over the years. He gives 100% effort and is driven to succeed. A driver is fortunate to have a crew chief like that. Do I like him? Not particularly. Does he cheat? Every chance he gets. I loved when he tells his driver to tear the car up in celebration, pound in the fenders. LOL
I guess Nascar has gotten wise to this

Opinion? Hmmm!! Is it opinion that the #48 has 7 championships? Is it opinion that the #48 has 80 wins in 543 Cup starts? Is it opinion that Jimmie Johnson is man of class, dignity and of high moral fiber? I don't think so, and I don't think you do, either.

Is it opinion that pee wee jr. has only 46 wins and just one completely illegitimate championship? Is it opinion that pee wee jr. has no manners and is a wimpy, classless creepy crawler? I don't think so and I don't think you do either.

Come on power, once and for all give your expert (LOL!) opinion as to why Jimmie is worthy and is deserving of your utmost contempt? Feel free to be truthful and frank.

I really don't have any interest in pee wee's philanthropic endeavors.


Please show ANYWHERE that I've said that I hate pee wee jr. I just believe he's somewhat overrated as a driver and isn't a very nice person and his Cup driving record and personal actions prove it. No hate, just the truth. All the philanthropic endeavors in the world can't change the fact pee wee jr. received a rather inadequate upbringing and I had nothing to do with that. If I had, chances are he'd probably be much more like Jimmie Johnson.

You should have been a politician with your ability to spin. And yes, you despise Kyle Busch. LOLOLOLOL

That is exactly what he will wind up doing. IMO
He will probably go that route when Johnson retires.

Dam I hate to say anything. And I understand you dont like the man but for a fact Id take Kyle over any other driver out there today in NASCRAP. Yes Jimmie has more wins in Cup and more championships BUT in the top three tiers Kyle has more than DOUBLE the wins. The only other driver Id want more than Kyle would be Dale SR. but that cant happen.

[jog49]

Did somebody say the best driver in NASCAR? That would be Tim Flock.

[mudslinger47]

Wow your a Rocket Scientist Mudsucker! ?

Thanks dipchit, glad I could help clear that up for ya....

[Nasty55]

Nasty I'm not a Rocket Scientist i'm a Douche Rocket.... Get it right next time......

Oh that's right i'm sorry Mudsucker my bad!!

[mudslinger47]

Oh that's right i'm sorry Mudsucker my bad!!

Oh boy, somebody learned something new....

[Clayton_Wetter]

Some people tout the chase as a gimmick, EXCEPT when Jimmie wins it.

When Jimmie (and Gordo) wins the championship it pisses you off no end and it becomes a silly gimmick. But when stewy or pee wee jr. wins the championship it's a whole other story, isn't it power?!! It's always a silly gimmick with me and it don't matter who wins. I just enjoy seeing some drivers win championships more than others due to the dire distress it causes you and some of your buddies! LOL!

You have touted Gordo and Johnson (especially Gordo) as being wildly overrated frauds and they've annoyed you for about as long as I can remember. I've seen what you have posted over the years and it's all there.

You should have been a politician with your ability to spin. And yes, you despise Kyle Busch. LOLOLOLOL

Despise pee wee jr.? I've never met the guy so it's impossible for someone like myself to despise him. I've seen and heard the same things you have seen and heard about pee wee jr. and have drawn conclusions from that, just like you. But despise? Nope! And you can't find even ONE sentence that would indicate otherwise.

You, on the other hand, irrationally hate everything about Gordo, JJ and Hendrick Motor Sports (except when pee wee jr. drove for HMS LOL!!).

How 'bout it power ol' buddy! Muster the balls to man up and explain once and for all what exactly it is about Jimmie Johnson that is so intensely distasteful regarding his driving career and/or his personal behavior. Clear the air power, it's good for the soul!! LOL!!

[calverton]

So where is JJ at for the race of champions inMaimi ,both Busch's are signed up

[calverton]

The fact you call Kyle pee wee shows hatred and you despise him

[Krooser]

He was pretty sly alright... saving the car for the final laps. And, like Cale Yarborough, he likely has the first dollar he ever made in the big leagues... both fellas were pretty frugal.

Happy birthday Mr. Pearson...

Happy birthday Mr. Pearson...

Spot on Krooser. Being highly calculated in the race car and having the car under him for when it really counts is one of the reasons Jimmie is one of the 2 or 3 greatest Cup drivers of all time. Wasn't that a trademark driving characteristic of another one of the greatest Cup drivers of all time? I think that other driver just had a birthday!! LOL!!
