I wouldn't necessarily say the 29 was the last one I wanted to win the race..that honor belongs to the 48 (wrecked by his own teammate..lol). I've been a Mark Martin fan since he was driving the Folgers car. The 29 win was ok, I was glad to see RCR win another 500, but damn I'm disappointed that Mark lost by .02 seconds

I was really cheering for Mark to pull out with a win after my boys took each other out. I did cheer when the 48 wrecked Can't fricken stand ol JJ. That commercial today with him and Sadler pretty much sums up Johnson.
I also was glad to see Bowyer climb out of the 07 after sliding across on his roof. Had me concerned. But it was a good race all in all.

Yeah...when I saw the front end of the 07 on fire, I think I held my breath till I saw Clint climbing out the window.

Oh, I was the same way... as soon as the camera cut to it on its roof, I had an oh shit moment that didn't end til the window net was down and he was wriggling out.

Oh, and the Sadler/Johnson Sprint commercial did pretty much sum up Johnson. I liked the Alltel commercial when Newman was calling everybody to tell them the race was off..lol.

Aw I missed that one! I also liked the new Young Guns one. The old Newman! one was pretty funny, but this one was too.

Thought I might add this close encounter in this thread...
Last night, while making a delivery to a truck stop/service garage on the western outskirts of town, I was passed by one tractor/trailer that stood out...couldn't tell the business name, but I couldn't miss the truck, chrome-laden & enough running lights to be seen from outer space All I could make out was a Target logo on the back, but it seemed a little extravegant to be hauling pallets of store merchandise...when it got about 100 ft ahead me, I was startled by the sound of an explosion, very loud it was...next thing I & everybody else around me are playing dodge-'em with huge chunks of steel-reinforced rubber...luckily, no damage to me or anyone else that could tell, but it got my heart a-pounding pretty good...the truck finally gets his speed down, & pulls over to the shoulder about a mile down the road, & I continue to my destination.
After dropping off a #50 truck part at the repair shop, I go back to my minivan, & in the parking lot behind me is that truck again...& now I see why it was so gussied up...it was the car hauler for the #41 Target Reed Sorenson car, obviously on its way from the shop in NC heading to the California Race this week...but I think he was gonna be delayed a little until he got that tire fixed
BTW, just as i got there, my dispatcher called me to say the customer wanted me to go back & get another part they needed, they didn't realize I was already in their parking lot...I declined to make the 2nd trip, it was late & I was still a little shakey from the near-disaster with the truck...

It wouldn't surprise me terribly if he won today really. Actually, I sort of expect him to win a couple on the Nextel Cup circuit before the season is done. The guy is just too good of a driver to get shut out. Probably a lot of DNF's and maybe some bad finishes from taking chances he shouldn't but I do believe he'll win a couple.
