[Joe Wicked]

Even though I am a JJ fan, it was kind of sad to see the dejection in Kurt Busch. His comment almost sounded like he was beginning to believe that he cannot beat JJ. I hope that is not how many feel because even though I am a fan, that will make for some boring races or some intentional wrecks to keep him from winning. I don't want to see either. JJ move at the restart into turn 1 won him the race. The door was slammed on Kurt before he could do the same. Had there been 10-15 more laps, I think he would have gotten around Stewart and challenged for the win.

I did also wonder yesterday what will happen when Chad moves on? Will JJ be as dominant? Look at how good Jeff Gordon was when Ray Evernham was his CC. After he left, Jeff became just one of the other racers. I believe it is a perfect pairing that either with a different partner would not do as well.

I will say that so far this year the racing has been a bit better than in the last couple, but not yet up to where it was when I got hooked.
