Here’s an idea. Put a bounty on the Hendrick House to stop the streak of championship trophies in the cases at the 48-88 shop on their Concord campus.
GRAND-AM is doing that with the Ganassi Gang in their series. Ganassi drivers have a six-race winning streak, and GRAND-AM Director of Competition Mark Raffauf said they’ve put a $25,000 bounty on the head of Chip Ganassi.
OK, not on his head, but on his cars. The first team to score an overall victory in the Rolex series gets the $25-Grand. Next opportunity to take the cash will be May 14 at Virginia International Raceway.
I have a long-standing offer of $25 to the driver’s charity who will take Jimmie Johnson out of a race. It doesn’t happen very often, like 5 times in 2 years. And not all were crashes. Believe it or not, Hendrick equipment CAN fail.
I think it’s a pretty good idea. I’ll do my part! If 5-time loses the championship this season, $25 to the driver’s foundation who knocks him off the trophy.
It would make me happy to see The Biff, Greg Biffle, manage that feat. Or Happy Harvick. Heck, even Montoya if it means it's not Jimmie Johnson.
Kurt Busch put it best once last season. He said he didn't care where he finished a race as long at it was ahead of Johnson. Yeah, a bunch of drivers feel that way, Kurt.
And Kurt, watch the potty mouth and making disparaging remarks about your owner. I wouldn't cross Roger Penske. When is your contract up for review? Aren't you the guy who once said, Jack if you're listening I want to see you in my hauler after the race? And after a brief radio silence, the reply was something like, let's get one thing straight. It's MY hauler. Kurt, you are just the hireling.
But we digress.
Please, somebody, anybody, take the trophy this year.
There's $25 to your charity in it for you.
