harvey lee Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 When does everyone belive that JJ will start to race the way that team can? He has had a miserable start to the season for what there are capable of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifty Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think they are trying a bunch of different things and will "turn it on" when they need to.Sifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I don't think its as easy as Hendrick has made it look the last couple years I said before the season that 1 or 2 of the big 3 from Hendrick will not make the chase. Too many variables in racing to guarantee anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juneau4 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 J.J has been in the wrong spot at the wrong time. He is 14th in points at the present. Has a tendancy to come on strong. Just glad I haven't used him much in the Fantasy league oops 13th no wonder I have problem--- Martinsville should be fun-flat track and short. Lets go racin! It is going to be another long week.

polarsusd81 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 He has had a very slow start, and I am kinda happy about it. Last year he was on my league team, and this year he isn't. I just don't think he will be able to pull off three in a row, it would be awesome to see, but I just don't think he has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 my thoughts are this.They are trying alot alot of new things right now i believe as well, and if and when jimmie gets into the top 12, there going to be a team that is going to turn it on and maybe have a shot as getting the champ again. My thoughts, HMS will win it again this year, just a matter of who......24,48,88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juneau4 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 1 of four teams will win it HMS, Chilldress, Gibbs, or Cheater oops I guess I can't spell Rousch either {Lawdog},most of my other spelling doesn't look that hot either. Maybe I should take DEI tooo now I've got all areas covered.{forgot Petty, but they have been forgotten for years) Should I just duck or shut up! Lets have some fun the forecast of snow is driving me nuts.Lets go racin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 It will be harder for HMS to win the points this year as RCR, Roush and the Gibbs cars have all caught up.I would also guess that JJ is somewhat behind as he was in a points battle last season and just may have not been able to do much testing towards the end of the season like other teams did.

1lkstage Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Using him as the test man to make Jr. look better? Chad and Jimmy need to get it pulled togather, or it will get tough to stay in the chase with the Toyota's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaney Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Dont worry...when NASCAR realizes that JJ cant catch up, they will bend and shift the rules to get him back to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1lkstage Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Chad and Jimmy already have proven to me that they know how to work hard and be consistant winners, Year after year. They are probibly the best dual in Nascar. Where did it go? Thier car must be so much different in handling/ set-up that they can't adjust it out. Seems like Jr. and JG have been able to overcome the changes and stay up front and make up the ground. Yeah, JJ has been up front, but don't take them long to head to the rear.

Neighbor_guy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Mabe jimmy is tanking to make chad look bad. therefore making chad less likely to jump ship, his contract is up at the end of this season. And he is looking to become the highest paid crewcheif in nascar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 JJ is to much of a competitor to tank on purpose and RickHendrick and Chad K would see that I believe. I dont believe any driver that makes it to NASCAR would ever do that as they would risk their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I would agree that it wont be long and the HMS gang will be located in the top 10. I really dont care for them as most know but, they can race and race well at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
