Nov 28, 2009 at 4:38 PMI for one, really enjoy watching Jimmy race. He catches and passes cars without crashing them out. It's poetry in motion. I challenge anyone to race with his kind of finesse and pass him by. Jimmy knows how to pass. Not smack someone out of the way. He's a racer. Pure and simple. Was Earnhardt really that good of a driver? Or were they all just intimidated? I would love to see what Jimmy has with a 36 race season. He's very good in the chase. But can he do it for 36 races? I'd love to find out.

Nov 28, 2009 at 6:45 PMUh, excuse me, number 3; Jimmy has run 36 races EVERY season. So what is to find out? It is ALL part of the year. Add it up. He does what he HAS to do to win. He is a smart racer. There are several out there that race like he does. Mark Martin, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, need I go on??? . . . I agree with you on this one, they shouldn't smack someone to pass them. Pass them clean. No Earnhardt was NOT that good of a driver. He was just another Krashlouski. And I liked them both about the same. . . . I have nothing agains JJ, but I and MOST people are getting tired of seeing him win EVERY year. Way overdue for someone else to do it now.

Nov 29, 2009 at 11:11 AMDoesn't smack people out of the way? BS I remember 3 out of 4 races this year where he booted the 2 car and right away, played the innocent crap and people just loved him for it. Like Kurt Busch or not, funny how that all quit once JJ got that position in the standings away from Kurt.
