To all Jr Fans.

The Day After Date Created: 11 Jul, 2005, 12:46 PM

So much to tell, but so little time. I am minutes away from boarding a plane for Detroit. I'll come back with more later when I have time. Until then, I leave you with a story from last night that speaks volumes.

Still beaming as we boarded a helicopter that would commute us to the airport yesterday, Dale Jr. said there are many reasons why this win is special. But none more than it gives his fans the opportunity to smile.

"If there's one place I would've liked to been, it's in the living rooms of all my fans, just to see their reaction," he told me. "That would've been cool."

That said, I hope you're enjoying your Monday... as much as Dale Jr. thinks you are.

All season long I have been reading criticisms of Junior's attitude toward his crew and his DEI teammates.

Now Junior wins and says "my crew won this for me" and "we owe Tony, Jr. and the Napa Auto Parts team a lot of credit for helping us dial in our front end."

Where are Junior's detractors now? Silent.

EXACTLY right!

My son and I were screaming and cheering so loudly those last fifteen laps my wife actually came into the living room and showed some interest in Nascar. She has NEVER done that before.

Yes, even before Daytona he has stuck up for his crew.

There was a quote that I posted a few weeks ago that went something like 'I can take the heat, but I feel bad for the guys who are not used to being in this spotlight.'

As far as screaming I think my neighbors probably thought the snake was back in my house. lol


Now on to the tire problems..........

The product manager from Goodyear had another theory as to why the tires were such a headache all day.

“When tires wear out quicker, they get cooler. The tires weren’t wearing out quick enough, so they got too hot and bubbled up,” said Rick Heinrich, who was answering more questions about his product than he is used to. “We’re going to take what we learned today and make adjustments.”

[Adjustments, I think they better & about time]

What was it like to go to Victory Lane with this group of guys?

“I don’t know how to really describe it. Winning with this team that has been beat up so bad all year long by the critics is so cool. I got the easiest job in the whole company, and they got the hardest. When I don’t win the race, they shoulder all that responsibility like they’re not good, or they don’t build good cars. And that’s not the case. They’ve given a winning effort since day one, but we haven’t been able to get wins. It’s not always the guy behind the wheel, or the shock guy, or the suspension guy, or everybody that puts the car together.

It takes more than that, and we’re starting to figure it out. The satisfaction for Sunday’s win is in the face of my team. I’ve won races, and I want to win a whole lot more. But to see what they felt Sunday, it means more to me than taking the trophy home and setting it on the mantle. It’s awesome to give it to those guys, and I’m glad I’m a part of it.”

Jeff Gordon was interviewed after he was turned around and crashed late in the race.

Something about not having a decent car and when you have to run in the back, those things happen.

I was thinking about ya as Jr. crossed the finish line-congratulations!! Jr. looked as though a great weight was lifted off of him and his crew, and I'll wager that you feel better too! Now, if Harvick can stop his backslide, maybe both of em' can make the chase. That would be great!

Here's the 29 car testing at Indy today.

I had composed a reply to your post,spell checked and hit the post button. Nothing happened and I hit post again and then I got that sinking feeling like the guy with a mouth full of chocolate chocolate cake and finds out the milk carton is empty...

I was very distraught about Jr's year until yesterday. All you need is a win GRRRRR and it will feel much better.

Have a friend in Alabama that's a die hard Jr fan like you, BUT she has no power to crow about the win.

VERY bad week, actually a string of weeks!LOL

Not that my benched drivers did much better, about 10 places all combined, but I had Happy until Sunday morning and changed him with Backflipper. 19th vs. 39th.

Ouch. That reminds me of last week, when the Shredded Wheels could have maxed out at 168 points.

Update on Stacker2's sudden departure from Kenny Wallace - the parent company is preparing to defend itself against a heap of ephedra-related lawsuits.

Also have an update on the Wood to #2 rumors - the supposed test didn't happen, and Wood won't be going to Rusty's ride; all invovled are denying (makes sense because the Wood Brothers have a long relationship with Ford and Jon himself probably has a Ford contract).

One more Jayski tidbit - Jack Roush asked Mark Martin if he would consider taking one for the team--"an encore tour"--if Jamie McMurray were unavailable in 2006 to drive the #6 Ford. Roush was beaming ear to ear when he said, "He didn't tell me no."
