Posted on: A venue for all types of pros

I've got your back Ron. I'll take a piece of your action to the tune of a sixer of Yuengling against a quarter of a fifth of Bombay Blue.

Posted on: Kyle Busch gets Raw on Monday Night

Hey Kyle and Little Joey, when you do _anything_ away from the race track, especially one of these cheesy appearances, there is no need to wear a firesuit. When your handlers insist on a sponsor splattered firesuit (even one of those 'it just looks like a firesuit, but it breathes' jumpsuits), just tell them that The Hulkster said, "A star like you don't have to do this".

Go rent The Wrestler. Maybe that will slap some sense into you.

Posted on: Would the No. 48 make Jr. great?

I don't think you're paranoid, no sir, and I'm not RH, hell, I'm not even a rocket scientist, but I'll bet a buck that RH keeps a close eye on his $200 million investments in four Cup teams. I know businessmen with significantly smaller concerns (like two decimal places smaller) who routinely use PI's to verify that everything is tip-top.

Jr. ran a good second half today, despite a craptacular start. Kudos little E.

JJ and Co. did their typical excellent job today to rise to the penultimate spot...congrats on another solid performance.

Posted on: Would the No. 48 make Jr. great?

When things are going real well for Jr., he has a good attitude and rim-rides around up front, but when he's in his usual troubles, he is impatient and ends up banging up his car, more trips to the pits, falls to 35th, etc. By contrast, watch Johnson fall back ten spots with a dropped lug nut pit stop, then watch him race his way back to the front: patience, control, skill. Like an aggressive Mark Martin, or a cool headed Tony Stewart, or a younger Jeff Gordon.

Four variables: 1) driver, 2) equipment, 3) crew, 4) racing luck. The 48 team has straight A's. The 88 team has a C,A,C,F. Improving the crew (especially the impact Knaus would bring) would move that grade to an A, and that could help Jr. to earn a B, however, his racing luck remains elusive. I think he could make The Chase if he was in the 48, just like Martin, Gordon, and Stewart's teams, all of whom have better drivers with comparable equipment and crews. But the 48 team with Johnson has four A's and will soon have four Championship rings.
