Play the cards you are dealt, Jimmie Johnson. Last year’s champion called for NASCAR to make adjustments to the new car after his second-place finish in Texas. It seems that whining is becoming an art form in this sport.
But why should NASCAR change a thing? Obviously Roush Fenway Racing has stepped up its game after being trounced by the Hendrick teams last year in the races that used the new car. Now it’s Hendrick’s turn to step it up a notch. Understanding something as new as this car takes time and if NASCAR starts making changes to the car now, teams might find what they’ve learned to this point to be worthless.
Hendrick has the talent and resources to get back into the proper form, but if I were Jack Roush, I’d keep my sway bars under lock and key just in case.
Besides, after seeing how Michael McDowell walked away from his terrifying crash, no one should have any complaints about the new car.

Here's the video of McDowell's crash.
Nascar should leave things the way they are????
If that was what Nascar was about we would not be driving the C.O.T.
Nascar hopefully listens to all the drivers and makes changes as necessary. It is not whining it is fact. Most of the driver's on the track feel the same way.
You're right califtovegas, we'd wouldn't be driving the C.O.T., we'd be driving Hudson Hornet convertibles. What's with this 'we' thing anyway??
Oh yes it is whining. Drivers, God bless 'em, are always whining, it's their job. Let's get real here. The driver wants a car that is as fast as lightning and is as easy to drive as a street car. Ain't gonna happen. Changes seem to freak us out in general -- a couple of years from now, and after a whole lot of tweaking, this car will just be the 'car', and everything will be peaceful and 'normal'.
