can any body stop jimmy johnson (nascar)

[shawnski]

ok.. i know he is a good race car driver and good team but come on he needs to get his share of bad luck like blown engine, wreck, etc.. but does not look that way. he is pulling away in points by 115 from mark martin and looks like he is headed for his 4th consecutive championship!
maybe next week in talledega a big wreck and he will be in the middle of it!

I've never been a Jimmie Johnson fan but there comes a point in time when you gotta say, Hey, this isn't just good luck, These guys are good. Jimmie's a good driver and Chad is an excellent crew chief. They are SMART. These guys use their heads, unlike some of the others. I really would like to see Mark win the title but my money would have to be on jimmie. Now, since you got on this subject. Let's discuss Dale Jr for a moment. Why do you recon they are givin him such crappy cars?. I'm kiddin, I'm a Jr. fan and he aint doin so good. OK, please excuse the way I spelled Jimmy but I'm not goin back andchange em all.

Jr. fan here as well, Lord knows whata going on there, If he's not involved in a wreck he has Tranny or Motor or Pit problems, What was it this week 2 Flat front tires, I mean come on.

Jimmie does seem to be the guy to beat.

 

[Lamb busa]

Jimmie is the man! Not a fan of the Hendricks teams. Never have been. Lamb watches all of the races and the post race shows. Lady Lamb loves the races as much as him. NOBODY will stop Jimmie this year and there is no end in sight. If this team stays together, and it will, next year should be the same.

As for being a Jr. fan, you guys are asking for a lifetime of hard luck. He is suffering from the same disease as Kyle Petty. S.C.O.M. Slow child of the man.

 

[Casperle]

It will be hard for Jimmy to get in the Big One when he s in front as usual.n Thats why he usually dosnt wreck. And hes good to. Man what happened to Carl Edwards this year I thought he would be super strong this year.???

i think the deal with eanhardt jr is that people have high expectation from him because of his legendary dad (earnhardt senior) but he is not his dad and he is not as good as his dad, it is the fact and we have tio accept it.
like richard petty and kyle petty same thing.

My take on NA$CAR is that someone isnt catching somebody cheating. That, or they are HELPING him cheat for some reason.

My reasoning: NA$CAR has said for YEARS that they work SO hard to make praity in the sport. That being said, if someone can manage to win the championship 4 years running, then they're either doing something wrong, or they are doing something shady. I gave up on NA$CAR after he won it last year. I don't hate the guy, but whats the point in watching it when you already know what the outcome is gonna be? I havent watched a single race this year because of this.

Grew up in Hickory NC surrounded by NASCAR. Lost interest back in the Bill Elliott days when NASCAR kept raising the T-Bird roof line, and when they brought him in at Talladega and held him for two laps because he had put everyone down two laps.

Awesome Bill. Didn't he get those laps back and win the race anyway?

 

[dadofthree]

He won the race despite NASCAR.

He's had his share of bad luck....he came in 2nd didn't he?

I've been saying this all along...but certain members who shall remain nameless can only tell me he's gay.

So a great team with an awesome driver that work hard and work well together are cheating because they keep winning? WTF is up with that? Would you be saying this if it were any other driver (like Mark Martin or even Tony Stewart)? Probably not.

some one is a big fan of jimmy johnson!!!

How could you tell?

 

[brpo]

Aquaman doesn't stand a chance - maybe Spiderman or Superman. Come to think of it the Batmobile is a pretty bad ass vehicle - maybe the caped crusader can derail Jimmy Johnson!

because it doesn't seem anybody in NASCAR can do it... Jus say'in.

Actually, yeah I would. Over a 36 race season, things are going to even out if NA$CAR truly has the parody that they keep claiming they have.

To me, the sport is going to be boring if someone is winning all the time, regardless of who that someone is.


Oh, and any doubt i had about cheating going on went out the window when i saw the replay of JJ passing Montoya on pit road. Ray Evernham said "they dont measure the car's average speed, they measure the cars distance over time." Umm....thats the DEFINITION of average speed, genius.


No matter to me anymore, there are other forms of racing where more than 2 or 3 drivers can reasonably be expected to win every week, and thats the racing I will follow.

jimmy johnson crew chief ( chat something) was pi$$ed off because nascar did not throw caution the last wreck on lap 498.

I really don't understand why Nascar didn't throw the caution. The car was in the middle of the track. Bad judgement on Nascar in my opinion.

that's nascar for you!! they throw caution flag for hot dog paper on race track but not for car in the middle of the track.

they should have red flag it and add 20 more laps to the race and let jimmy johnson change tires only!

Maybe Just because he's my new wallpaper on my laptop doesn't mean I'm a huge fan does it?

RANK +/- DRIVER POINTS BEHIND STARTS POLES WINS TOP 5 TOP 10
1 -- Jimmie Johnson 6098 Leader 32 3 6 14 21
2 -- Mark Martin 5980 -118 32 7 5 12 19
3 -- Jeff Gordon 5948 -150 32 0 1 16 23
4 -- Tony Stewart 5906 -192 32 0 4 15 22
5 +1 Juan Montoya 5898 -200 32 2 0 7 17
6 -1 Kurt Busch 5858 -240 32 0 1 8 18
7 +1 Ryan Newman 5786 -312 32 2 0 5 15
8 -1 Greg Biffle 5748 -350 32 0 0 9 14
9 +2 Denny Hamlin 5746 -352 32 1 3 12 17
10 -- Carl Edwards 5685 -413 32 0 0 7 13
11 -2 Kasey Kahne 5659 -439 32 0 2 6 13
12 -- Brian Vickers 5568 -530 32 6 1 4 13

Okay...so at least 2 drivers have had more poles than Jimmie, 2 of them are right behind him in wins, 2 more have had more top 5's and at least 2 more drivers have had more top tens.

I'm not claiming to know all there is to know about Nascar....or any other racing for that matter. To me the stats show that there are plenty of other great drivers with the potential to win....but they don't.

jimmy johnson crew chief ( chat something) was pi$$ed off because nascar did not throw caution the last wreck on lap 498.

Shouldn't they have thrown that caution tho? Like I said above, I don't know all the in's and out's....still learning actually.

 

[Lamb busa]

No matter to me anymore, there are other forms of racing where more than 2 or 3 drivers can reasonably be expected to win every week, and thats the racing I will follow.

Lamb watches lots and lots of racing, besides the Ironman series, what form of racing are you talking about?
MotoGP NO
250cc NO
Nhra drag racing maybe
Indy car no
AMA dirtbikes maybe in the outdoor series
Ama streetbikes The 600 series pulled it off this year
100 meter dash NO!
200 meter dash NO!
50 meter Fly NO
100 meter backstroke Maybe
GTP championship NO
Formula 1 If pitroad passing is your thing

All forms of racing are pretty much the same. The man at the time is always hard to beat. There always seems to be 1,2 or 3 guys that have their stuff together and everybody else seems to be playing catch-up. Even though the difference is only 2% or so. It does make for some boring racing lots o times. Revel in the people at the tops greatness and enjoy the racing. Don't get personally involved, unless you are involved with preparation of the vehicle, and just watch. Be entertained and move on.
Enough of Lamb's 2 bit opinion. Ride on!
