Jimmie -vs- Dale Earnhardt, Sr.


I forgot completely to write anything yesterday about Sunday’s Pocono race…why you ask?  Because Jimmie Johnson won it.  He’s one of two of the drivers I don’t like to see win.  Why you ask?  Because he’s so cocky.  He won so quick and so much early in his career I do think he takes it for granite and doesn’t appreciate it as much as someone who has a) never won b) won once c) wins only every once in a while.  Someone once told me he learned to race so well due to following Earnhardt Sr around the racetrack…well as any real Nascar fan knows Jimmie never shared any racetrack with Dale Sr.  Jimmie started his career after Dale Sr was killed.  I would have loved to have seen if Jimmie could have driven a race car back in the day like Dale Sr, Richard Petty and Davey Allison did…now that would have been something to see.
