Only JR knows. He's always said he does not like the COT car. And I think that is stuck in his head. Eventually he will get it and accept it. ( I HOPE ).

CONCORD, N.C. -- Jimmie Johnson crashed in Turn 4 when his right rear tire went flat at Lowe's Motor Speedway during the Goodyear tire test Wednesday morning.
Johnson was not injured in the accident, but his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet could not be repaired enough for him to continue to test on the newly repaved track.
"The tire went down, lost air pressure," said Rick Heinrich, Goodyear's Nextel Cup product manager. "He had felt the tire start to go down in Turn 1, and in Turn 3, the deflation of the tire completed. ... We're still looking at the tire and trying to come up with a concrete determination of what caused the tire to go down.
"We don't know if it was a puncture or wear-related at this point."
Johnson's was the only incident during the Tuesday all-day session and the Monday morning session. Bobby Labonte, Scott Riggs, Kevin Harvick and Bobby Hamilton Jr. in a truck also participated in the session.
