But I think the basic problem Jeff had was JJ picked up the throttle and got off both corners better. Jeff could get to Jimmie, but couldn't get too far under him before Johnson simply drove off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-34282325567403943752007-04-05T11:27:00.000-04:002007-04-05T11:27:00.000-04:00I agree for the most part with this post, last nig...I agree for the most part with this post, last night's "NASCAR Now" did seem to flow a lot better than any to this point that I've seen. <BR/><BR/>I do take you to task on Brad though. He knows the sport well as a past NCTS and NBS truck/car owner, and is well versed in the sport's infrastructure as a former member of their Competition/Appeals committee. If he gave out the same info as Shannon, then it was just 2 people, hundreds of miles apart that didn't know the other was going to report the same data.<BR/><BR/>And he *was* correct, that in the "old" car, Gordon would've moved the 48. The "hits" he put on Johnson there at the end would've moved him by default with the older car's sloped nose - which would've lifted the 48's rear end and caused the car to slide farther up the track than it did...Gordon is good at it afterall, he's done it at least twice to Rusty at Bristol in the past few years.<BR/><BR/>This new host last night even seemed to "sign off" with his via-satellite interviewees instead of just cutting them off too. Definitely a step in the right direction IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
