    Can't stand either of'em. Surprised both have adjusted so quickly to the COT. Not surprised some of the older drivers are faring pretty well with it. The young guys like to charge the corners and the new car doesn't allow for that. Darlington is going to be fun this week, the current cars already have a terrible problem with not being able to turn there due to lack of grip, would not be surprised to see Gordon, Marlin and Martin(if he is running this week) do well. They know how to "back the corner up," lift early and let the car float in and plant itself, then stand on the gas.

    I know of at least 1 reason. He became known as a loose cannon on the track and would not fess up to something being his fault, he would blame it on someone or something else. In the words of Tony Stewart on David Ragan, Jimme was driving "like a dart without feathers." Fans did not like it and he had lost almost all respect he had with his fellow drivers. His run-ins with JR did not help matters, nor did his little tiff with Sterling Marlin a few years ago. Jimmie has gotten better but doesn't mean I'm going to start liking him, even if my driver is his owner and teammate.

    This is a misprint right?

    Tony gets plenty of boo's at the racetracks.

    I agree there was strecthes were JJ would not confess to anything he did wrong,I am just a simple hater,he and all his HMS team mates just win too damn much.I am not the typical JR fan,I actually respect all those guys,I just need someone to hate make the races more interesting,besides they may all be team mates next year

    Yep-I'm not a JJ fan but don't hate him.

    1 real reason why some people hate Jimmy Johnson is because he is teammates with Jeff Gordon (puke) and that they both tend to keep the other team back and out of contention of the lead.

    I for 1 am not a fan of Jeff Gordon or Jimmy Johnson, those 2 jabrownee's got to learn there are 41 other cars on that track with them. For god sakes man the other team would like a win also.

    LOL I was wondering when that was going to be said.

    I do not have a only one favorite, and but really dislike one, not hate, but dislike. Jr. I just do not like his attitude. His Father I did like.

    Before I went into Trucking, I was selling nascar items. ANd I liked Jeff Gordon cause he doubled my inventory. Even after I lost my last Job, I went back selling. Got some nascar stuff, and guess who sold and who did not? Jeff Gordon Sold, Earnhardts, stuff sat. And that is in Earnhardt Country.

    Have heard this reported more than once,although I can't find anyway of verifing it,but I have heard that JR sells more merchandise than Jeff,Jimmie and Tony do combined.

    I don't like JJ, simply because he wins to damn much, but don't hate him. Not only is JJ Jeff Gordon's teamate, Gordon owns the 48 too. As a Jr. fan,it's really getting tiresome watching the 48 and 24 up front every week.

    Yeah but it won't be to long and Hendrick and JR will be friends.

    Mike I am talking from my experence. Jr may sell tons, but they did not sell for me. I seen others sell his stuff way over price. but when I tried to sell at a resonable price, it sat, or get offers less than wholesale.
