Blah blah blah. Run your mouth all you want Jimmie you know that's all you are going to do about it. And people stopped caring what you said about it 10 seconds after your TV interview was over last week.

" Cry me a river " LOL This guy has the feeling that you have to give him room because he is the 5 timer. As Kurt said, " he doesn't like hard racing "

Wow....when Harvick blocks Kyle on pit row, approaches him with his helmet on (a puss move), and is gettin ready to confront and possibly hit another driver who is still SITTING down, then he's a hero. When Jimmie does it, he's a whiner and needs to grow a pair? Please.
If I recall, JJ approached without the helmet, confronted Kurt while sitting down but then backed up enough to let him get out of the car. He called out Kurt, who is notorious for running his mouth and throwing tantrums, and didn't back down. When Kurt yelled out something as JJ's back was turned and walking away, JJ had had enough of Kurt's whiner attitude and went back for some more. He clearly stated that he's sick of Kurt's mouth and sick of the disrespect towards Kurt's own crew/team....and I think that something everyone is sick of.
When JJ was finished, he walked away and then gave a calm, polished, professional response immediately to the race reporter. He has great control of his emotions, and even better control of his car...which is why he's a 5 time champion.

Where the hell has Jimmie been? The Busch's ALWAYS run their mouths. That's what they do.

The busch brothers are very good drivers unless they get a burr under their backside about something you have done. Then their lifetime achievement immaturity comes to the front and wipes out all the good points they have accumulated since the last time either one pouted.

Grizzly Fattums.......well said.
Both drivers are right and both are wrong.....but JJ, vanilla as he is, is still more professional than Kurt.....the real whiner trophy goes to Kurt.....this time.
Not so sure only the 22 will "go for a ride"......could be a toss up between the 48 or the 22...whomever gets the chance first......sometimes a bit harder to tell on a road course.
Regardless, this should be a good one.

The reporters are the ones who ask the questions during their required media time. JJ didn't call a press conference so he could talk further about it. If it were a non-story, then I'm guess the questions about the incident would have followed questions like "What's your favorite movie Jimmie?", or "Which do you like better Jimmie, Pop Tarts or Toaster Strudels?"

Just like in stick and ball sports...you play as physical as the refs let you. You either adapt to how it is, or you get left behind.

He sure has and how about his brother shattering the record in claiming the pole for todays race. He ran 2 MPH faster than the record Jeff Gordon set a few years back.

Can't agree with much of what you said Grizzly. The simple fact is that JJ came down hard on Kurt and has spent considerable time since Kurt bumped him back whining about it. He should have gone to the garage after the race and left well enough alone. I happen to like Johnson, but he comes off as a spoiled brat in this instance.
Maybe the pressure is getting to JJ because he hasn't been nearly as dominant as years past.
