Jimmie Johnson and I DID IT!
Posted on April 14th, 2008 by Ron Ripple under Nascar, Nascar Racing, Nascar WinnerCongrats to Jimmie Johnson and the Hendrick Motorsports in their much needed win on Saturday night. It came down to balls and gas, and well…. Jimmie had the biggest balls and more gas than the remaining losers of the night! I’m sure I’ll get a thank you card from Jimmie in the mail this week as I believe the reason he won is because a) I didn’t jinx them with my typical “Jimmie Johnson/Hendricks Can’t Win” rants… and b) I did a beautiful post about his GORGEOUS wife Chandra Johnson!
The race in my opinion was great! I thought for a while that the story of the day was going to be all about Dale Earnhardt and his former #8 car Mark Martin. Those two were battling for first for theee longest time. But I must say overall this was one helluva race, the track conditions continued to change between sun up and sun down. Cars were too tight, too loose, too damn tough to control and pit strategies were key! I loved it. I was up till the end and can’t believe I was able to stay awake as I must have downed a case of beers in one sitting. What were your favorite moments? Do you think Chandra did anything different on race morning to give her husband the edge?

I dont necessarily think it was Chandra did but what she wouldnt do. She probably offered Jimmie a handsome reward if he actually won a race. Lets just say that was a great night in Johnson household.

I often wonder if the driver’s wives “release” any pressure before the race.

I am SOOOOO happy he won! But it was bittersweet for me. Somehow I didn’t check the schedule and thought the race was on Sunday. I missed my drivers first win!!! I was able to watch the last five laps on a video on Nascar.com so I feel a little better about it. Hey Ron, if you had any part in helping Johnson win, keep doing it
