Driver, Team- Mates: At What Time to Be Who; Most Advantageous


While watching the race today,, my wife made a statement that made me think of how to explain what I do not necessarily agree with. Team Mates in NASCAR. Being a former trade owner who frequently made alliances with outside sources such as an Engineering firm or Environmental Testing of some nature, and in essence, incorporating them as a department of my company. It can be beneficial to the originator and the secondary party if used correctly. It is one of the biggest and most widely used forms of development and hodgepodge expansion in big business today. Race Car Drivers were not built that way and it is, at times, a rather hard pill to swallow,, lumps up in your throat,,


Peggy (my wife) said that no one was helping Jr. and they were not His Friends or Team-Mates…… I tried to engage in recreation using wisdom and politics remembering to use my words cleverly for I know she does not have a propensity to take me or anyone criticizing him at any time,, wide of the mark or fastidious,, period,, nuff said,, all them there other sayings people say when they want to make the point that no other ends is to be had,


The lead was in Carl’s tender loving care,, Jimmy was coming,, he went around Jr. after the NASCAR Penalty sent him back a step or two,, that is when it happened,, you know,, when Jimmy passed Jr.,, that is when,,, she alleged it,, “They are not his team-mates,, if they were,, they would help him win”,, now how many of you have heard the exact same thing?


Jr. as well as Jeff did unerringly what a team-mate would or at least should do,, they made sure that the only team associate of Squad Hendrick, who is in competition to win the Championship,, was in arrangement to be either in the escort or close up an adequate amount to not let the points breach slam up on Jimmy, the Garage that is ran by Coach Hendrick and this Band Of New Found Brothers,,, it does more than just make Jimmy the Champion,, it brings in wealth as far as winnings,, then another more money-spinning endeavor between the sponsor,, all of them,, every team members backer,, new-fangled treaties are made on the calculation that Team Hendrick is the 2008 Champion Team,, every driver as well as team member in the garage has potentially new payoffs in either funding for R&D, Pay Raises, Advancement and so on,, so everyone benefits,,


Next year when the money is scattered,, the individual teams will profit,, Jr. knows that,, so does Jeff,, they may or may not be the brightest bulb in the box but rest assured when it comes to money,, they ain’t stupid,, heck,, look at Whiskey River,, Jr. Shines,, or is smart enough to know who does,, so if Jr. or Jeff had won,, the ending may have placed Carl closer than he is and by doing that make it achievable for Carl to maybe catch Jimmy winning away the Championship eliminating all benefits to every team component in the whole dang garage,, I recon the hardest part of that resolution is that they had to make it in a split jiffy and all while going 150mph+. Seems that Strangers do without a doubt make odd Bed Fellows,, you, as well as I, know that every driver,, if they are any kind of racer, wants to be the victor,, so bad at times he can essentially taste it,, actually taste it,, the perfume roars around in his nostrils,, the flavor in his mouth,, the panorama as he does his burn out indiscriminately roars in his psyche,, all while going 150mph and knowing dang good and well he has to do the one thing in the world he did not want to do,, no racer does,, but they do,, oh yea,, they do,, all hoping that next year,, when occasion draws closer,, they will be in the seat that is in receipt of being pushed to the frontage by team-mates that do not fancy to,, but do it anyways,, and the succession continues,,, And like any Cub Fan will tell you,, “There’s Always Next Year”


Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch:, Peggy (still my Wife), did not want anything to do with what I was saying,, Not An Iota,, Nix, Thumbs Down,, Not Listening,, GO Jr. is all she Understood or Cared to Have The Sense of Hearing!
