Yes definitely out of character. However, having said that I noticed a change in him last week at Darlington and perhaps even at Richmond. [ not sure, I can't remember past yesterday lately] He was outwardly hostile to his pitcrew for making a mistake.
I think he wants to win so badly because this is his last year in Cup resulting in acting desperately at times. JMHO :)

Outta here - maybe buy or not. Thanks for all the input.
