fisherguy Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally The only thing that could have been better is if Johnson had been farther back so he could work closer to that 400 point cutoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally That was awesome!!! Those last few laps with Kenseth closing with 4 fresh tires, I was getting worried. Looks like maybe Steve Hmiel as crew chief might be the leadership the #8 team needed. I'm guessing they win a couple more before the year is over!

Chrud Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I figured he'd finish about 20th. Then about 1/2 way through he looked like a top-10. Then with 20 to go, he looked like a winner! I see him winning a couple more too. Next week could launch him into a great spot. He is really good at Loudon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganHuntr1 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally [ QUOTE ] GREAT RACE !!!! the 8 is back !! [/ QUOTE ] Well, I dont know if I would go that far, theyve still got work to do. There 491 points from the leader. Of course, I cant say much, because the 24 is sucking pretty bad right now. But, Ill say one thing, I was cheering Jr on during those last laps, I didnt want to see Kenseth win. Congrats to the 8 bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally He clearly didnt have the fastest car out there. But a combination of good calls by Hmeil, good pit stops, staying out of trouble, and consistent driving paid off. But wow is it nice to finally feel excited after a race instead of grumpy because somebody i didnt like won! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally Great team work! Congrats to the Bud team!

Guest TheDeerHunter Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally That was awesome! I'm so glad that he won. I was workin today at Wal-Mart and I slipped over to the electronics department to check in on the race. I got over there and turned the race on with 19 laps to go. And we all know what happened from there. Congrats to Jr. and the whole #8 team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer06 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally dale junior is the luckiest driver EVER. Matt Kenseth was the one with the fast car and hes the one that should of had the win today. junior was just there at the right time. he used NO SKILL #17 will make the chase if he keeps racing like this. GO KENSETH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally [ QUOTE ] junior was just there at the right time. he used NO SKILL [/ QUOTE ] NO SKILL? Just being in position to win after racing for 400 miles takes skill! NO SKILL? What about his pit crew? They had awesome stops all day long. That doesn't take skill. Face it he snookered them. He had a car that was good enough to win with 2 tires. Yeah, Kenseth had the best car all day. No one will argue that, but the #8 team made the right call at the end of the race.

[/ QUOTE ] Great point Tedicast. I agree with you. With all the bad races Jr has had the Pit Crew was on point this race. They made all the right pit stops. Jr used his skills to battle at Chi town. I agree that #17 had the best race car out there and he should have won. He had 4 fresh tires at the end and still didn't take it. I think that tells all who has skills and who don't. I praise Jr for a well earned win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Jr. Wins, Finally It was the first race I have attended. It was awesome! With 1 or 2 more laps to go, Kenseth would have passed him. No doubt, 17 was the fastest car there. 8 did make some great moves to get out front though. I'm not a Stewart fan by any stretch but man that guy can drive. He made some passes that I didn't think could be done. His demise was taking 4 tires on one of the final stops that put him back around 12th. Most others took 2. Another thing, this is the track that 8 whined about after the first 2 races that it was no good. Only one line, no wehere to pass, etc. Guess he forgot about that now. Congrats to him.
