What works for one ...

5:45 PM

While interviewing Jeff Gordon at an appearance, I raised to him a question that's been raised to me a lot lately: "Why don't you just take Chad Knaus? You're the boss, after all." His response? He's uncertain he would prosper under Knaus' leadership style and doesn't want to break up the chemistry between Knaus and Jimmie Johnson.

If Chad leaves Hendrick, I'll take it as a sign that HM is on its way down the tubes. RE-SIGN CHAD, RE-SIGN CHAD, RE-SIGN CHAD !!!!!

Wrting on the WALL FOR TOYOTA..yup get Dale for history. Micheal for entertainment, but driver fanfare base?... My money is on MORE OF THE Davis' Team for reasonS ya gotta get a new fan base, a minority driver and pick up a female as well and WAHLAH a new potential increased and base..no harm intended. TOYota PULLING FROM FORD AND CHEVY FANS? NO WAY...but it could bring more new fans You know SKINNER and Bodine can't hang in the big leagues and ya gotta get some new FANS for ToyOTA!!!

D Waltrip is so biased....come on Roush is theo nly ones that lose belts due to being in the rear of the field and had more rubber thrown up on their car than anyone else? Ever thought that maybe they were tryng a new setup or CHEATING(LOL) no one went out that way maybe light water pumps bearings were the culprit..whatever Darryl needs to Boogity on out of the cmmentary business if that is the best he can offer. I usually watch the race on TV turn down the TV and listen to a race on NASCAR.COM!!!! NOW THAT IS TRUE !!!!!

Hey Marty you get that 17th Street Surf Shop shirt from Doug K I sent you?

It's been proven that Johnson can win without Knaus, so I'm wondering if there has been any consideration of moving Knaus over to Vickers team. That could be the spark that sets that team on fire.

Dude, you just outed them... Little Jimmie will be recruiting Slugger Labbe next year...

This past week Jimmie got a contract extension with Hendrick and Lowe's, but Chad was left out. You think he may be headed somewhere else, like Toyota?

jimmie johnson is my favorite driver and i think that jimmie jonhson and chad kanus have one of the best teams in the nextel cup and if jeff gordon takes chad kanus to his team the 48 team wouldnt be as good

For being such a Chad KNAUS and Jimmie JOHNSON fan, you sure struggle spelling their names. :)
