[Sweet unpredictability]

The past 3 days.

So, this weekend was definitely an unpredictable one.

Because of Hanna (though I called it Hurricane Hamlin, hehe) and her interruption Friday night, I was stuck at home with not a DAMN thing to do. It sucked highly on the suck list. Though I did learn that there is a possibility of me moving back to the east coast. Back up to ( Read more... )

When I first got into racing, I was naive enough to think that you needed to like a driver's teammates. Then Junior made a few comments about Mikey to the media that made me anti-Junior for a couple years there. Meanwhile, DEI, as an organisation, has only gotten worse and worse. Theresa has really let that team go into the crapper. After they fired Steve Park just after he'd returned from his injury when they never gave him time to adjust to his new team as the #1 team was nothing like it was when he left, I began to really hate DEI. I was so glad when Mikey finally left them - and the fact that HE decided to leave THEM, rather than him getting fired from the team. Junior has since redeemed himself in my eyes. I think he has matured a great deal since he made those comments. DEI, on the other hand... I can't believe Martin Truex Jr stays with them. He really is too good for that team.

Speaking of Truex, I appreciated him more when Mikey was fixing to leave the team, and people were asking Truex if he'd be in the #15, and he was emphatic about not wanting that number. He seemed to make every effort not to offend the Mikey fans, and I appreciated that.

The reason why I didn't like Denny in the first place was because he was in the Busch Series ride that I thought Mike McLaughlin should have. I still think Mike was pushed out of the series too early. Instead, Mike was fixing Denny's cars week in and week out as a fabricator for the #20 BGN team. And Denny was dinging up the car quite a bit those days. That's probably what clouded my judgment and the reason why I thought everything he said sounded arrogant. Either he did a total 180, or I was dead wrong in the first place. Nowadays, he doesn't sound cocky in the least. In fact, the poor guy beats up on himself too much.

Nowadays, I consider Denny to be the best JGR driver by far. I've been on and off with Stewart, and right now, he has me totally turned off toward him. Kyle is... well... Kyle. And Joey is feeding into his own hype, and he is so freaking overhyped by the media. He's nothing special. They think he'll be around for a long time in Cup when he hasn't even made a Cup start. How wonderful for them.

What pisses me off about JGR as an organisation is how they claim they're christians and expect their drivers to act in a certain way, although you don't hear them claiming that so much nowadays when they have Kyle and Joey. But it was even a stretch when they were saying that back in Stewart's early days. Then it came out they're deliberately hiding their advantage in Nationwide, and JD plays dumb. Because deceit is such a christian quality. They're one of the shadiest organisations who are attracted to bad asses yet pretend to be holier than thou.

You're better off without the 60-year-old woman obsessed with McMurray. That sounds creepy. I feel bad for poor Jamie now.

Congrats on Denny doing so well this weekend! I hope you did have some nice Denny dreams last night to go with it!
