@FrenAlium@MatthewOwensPxP Car control was not the issue with JG during those years.
JG had a lot of mechanical issues during those years & most crashes he was in were not caused by JG.
Despite that, JG contended for wins with those years consistently, with the exception of 2008 due to his back injury.
@FrenAlium@MatthewOwensPxP 2005 was JG’s Chicago Cubs Curse year with feast/famine results.
2006 was a Rebuilding year where his raw speed increased at 2-mile tracks but had many mechanical issues to contend for the title.
2008 was a Back-Breaking year where he lost feel in the car after the Vegas crash.
@BravesFan1295@DigitalGashouse JG got in to fill in for Dale Jr because Rick asked him too.
JG said at Indy in 2016 when he came back that he was in Paris on vacation when Rick called him.
Rick called because he had no one reliable for that time & JG felt he couldn’t say no after all Rick had done for him.
@CollinBCook GOAT header 🙏🏻
Two GOATs still in their prime.
One is racing their childhood hero & the other preparing his eventual successor after 2015.

30 years ago, and @CBellRacing doesnt walk away from that wreck..
Safety has come a LONG way since Feb 18th, 2001. The legacy of Dale Earnhardt lives on in every..single..race..
Guys like Bell are proof of it.
Thank you to #NASCAR and everyone responsible for those changes!
@Hendrick24Team@MISpeedway@WilliamByron@AxaltaRefinish Way to pull a 2010 Steve LeTarte.
Top 3 car all day & finish 18th with it.
2 tires with 50 laps to go.
Unbelievably stupid call.
Fast cars mean NOTHING if you don’t make the right pit calls.
@Hendrick24Team@WilliamByron This completely opens the door for HMS to take over this race.
William seems to have the best car in traffic, along with Bell.
Let’s execute & try to win this one.

So sad to hear the news of Ned Jarrett’s passing. You can’t compare the greats of NASCAR without talking about him. He ranks as one of the Greats! But more than that, he was one of the greatest men I ever knew.
My prayers and love to my friends Patti, Glenn and Dale.
I’ve been packing my house up for the past couple days, so I haven’t really been able to get online like I used to. However, I’ve been hearing about this incident and finally got a chance to check it out.
As a law enforcement officer, I’m embarrassed and appalled. This is nothing short of disgraceful.
When we arrive to a dispute or assault with “cross complainants,” we have to assess who was the primary physical aggressor. We then have to assess who took more damage. Henry Nowak was stabbed. The other guys had some light bruises. In no circumstance, in a fight, can I see myself arresting someone who is actively bleeding out in front of me while cutting loose someone who was simply on the receiving end of a few haymakers. Worst case scenario, everyone gets cuffed, you call an ambulance, and then sort it all out back at the precinct.
If this is policing in England, I’m seriously glad I’m not part of it. For everyone keeping score, this is legitimate injustice.
Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.
George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.
Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.
And we all know why.
During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.
They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.
And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.
This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.
This needs to stop.
Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.
Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak.
