The Official Hendrick Motorsports Thread

One positive of this weekend, is that Jimmie clinched a spot in the chase.

I don't think it has ever been in doubt. Jimmie making the chase is an absolute.

Don't worry he'll be leading before half way anyway.

We will see. Never can tell with a backup car. Hopefully he can do it.

I changed my Pick'Em from Matt Kenseth to Jimmie Johnson and less than five minutes later he wrecked. I might should take that as a sign, but I'm sticking with Jimmie.

No it doesn't.

This is a tough week to pick. Hendrick doesn't do two bad weeks, but last time they were in Brooklyn, MI it was a bad day.

This was at the Knoxville Cars & Coffee.

Dammit! More problems for the #48. Glad he is already in the chase.

I'll withhold comments for a few hours

The nature of the tracks makes equipment failure the big factor. There's a bigger luck factor than most races. Just need some mediocre runs from my C squad

I dunno. The last 4 weeks have been pretty tough. You had a lot of specialists last week so B & C was tough. A was pretty easy though.

I've just avoided disastrous weeks with 2 DNF's. I've gotten lucky in that aspect. I try to gamble and not take the most popular picks, to an extent.

Is Jeff Gordon even racing today, haven't heard his name at all.

Might as well not be. Languishing in the top 20. THAT WON'T GET IT DONE !

You need to hang it up when Danica passes you...

Two bad weeks now.

Jeff needs to win out, he was nowhere today. Junebug had the winning car today. Jimmie had a fast car. Blue eyes was just sorta around.

 

[Burhead]

I know how you feel now Nerd when your driver has no luck whatsoever.

Ray Evernham isn't coming out of retirement.

Ray Evernham isn't coming out of retirement.

Is he still doing that homely ginger?

 

[jhen713]

They got married.

Gordon posted the 3rd fastest times in both practices, but his qualifying effort of 32nd left much to be desired.

That track got way looser as the night went on. But he needs to get up or shut up!

When Gustaf become Gordon's crew chief, I thought it would be exactly what he needed to become a championship contender again. Clearly, it's been a disappointment with Gustafson. Rick Hendrick should throw the bank at Evernham and create a Gordon/Evernham reunion.
