Very nice Jim, you compare the driver that I feel is the greatest of all time to
my favorite driver! Both David and Jimmie are great tactitions and know better than almost anyone else how to save their equipment for when it matters most. With all the tire and brake heat problems we saw during this race it is easy to see where the cars can get overworked, especially if they are not handling very good at a demanding track like Martinsville. Chad and Jimmie stuck in there and brought the 48 in for more pit stops than I cared for but it obviously worked out in the end. They have enough faith in each other to not get overly frustrated early on in the race. Tenacity, patience and intelligence are the keys to their sustained success.

Though in my opinion not to the caliber we are use to seeing racing at Martinsville, I do believe the pace has picked up considerably. Last week, I posted an article on my website regarding Fox going on record as stating the design of the new car has led to decreased viewership amongst its TV audience. It was refreshing for me to see that a national media outlet had backed up claims I had made in articles last year regarding the “COT”. There have been over 50% fewere passes for the lead this season according to sources at Fox, which to me, is significant. The circuit is hitting some tracks coming up that should traditionally provide for some awesome racing. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. It was nice to see Jr. finally pull off a top ten finish after such a dreary start to the season.
