South Boston, Virginia in the house!

Couldn't stay around for F-1, but I stayed up long enough to see my man Jeff Burton take Charlotte and move up to second in the Chump Chase. I'm just happy to see him win!

Will see F-1 on the replay.

Yeppers I must agree...
It was good to see Jeff win.....

Now if we can only get Ward in a car also....:mixedsmi:

[Wiens]

Agreed!! :d

It's nice to see the RCR cars doing well, although my Kansas boy wasn't able to stay up front.

All in all, Richard childress Racing had a great weekend!!!

2) #31-Jeff Burton 5809 -69 [2 wins]
3) #16-Greg Biffle 5792 -86 [2 wins]

7) #20-Tony Stewart 5650 -228 [1 win]
8) #24-Jeff Gordon 5633 -245
9) #18-Kyle Busch 5552 -326 [8 wins]

11) #17-Matt Kenseth 5518 -360
12) #11-Denny Hamlin 5498 -380 [1 win]

Pretty clear that Jimmy and Chad are racing for a Cup not wins - as he was 6th last night - smart.

... Pretty clear that Jimmy and Chad are racing for a Cup not wins - as he was 6th last night - smart...

Not according to Jimmie! In an interview with the SPEED guys, he said his car was way too loose, that he wanted to go for the win, but couldn't make his car work, and that he was pretty disgusted with a 6th place finish. That sounds more like the Jimmie Johnson I've seen up to this point...

Hey All,

I've no doubt Jimmy wanted to go for more as that is his favorite track but he didn't risk anything because he knew he didn't have the car. Do you risk more when there is no Cup on the line? I think so. Take what you can get every race and don't risk a wreck when the Cup matters most. That's what Jimmy and Chad are doing. Nobody will remember who won Lowe's fall race 10 years from now but they will remember who won the cup.
