The Legend #48 and Jimmy Johnson

 

Jimmy dominated at Dover tearing up the track

Fontana stretched his lead out over Jeff and Mark

The Kurt boys tried to give him a little worry

But he just left them at Charlotte sitting in the dark

 

With 183 point lead, folks said Johnson had it made

Smiled as the flag dropped to a Texas speedway roar

The 77 car came out of nowhere to put him in the wall

Before that number 48 even made it to turn four

 

They patched up the shattered scattered pieces

Better late than never got the car back on the track

Never giving up he rode like hell the best he could

But it looked pretty bleak and that’s a fact

 

At Phoenix some folks cheered and some folks jeered

When Jimmy quickly moved to the front of the pack

And roared as Superman took another checkered flag

Saying boys now there’s no more looking back

 

Now with just one more race they call Homestead

Then we’ll join the history pages of the NASCAR crowd

Four time consecutive national champion it will read

Jimmy, Chad and crew should be so very proud….

BAH-NO COMMENT!!! Just teasing, like teasing you :) I was actually really happy for him, if it can't be my man, it's cool that it's Johnson, he seems a nice guy and deserves it. Why was that so painful to write? ;)

This Poem is EXCELLENT Sweet Fee! Such Excitement at the peddle/your hand and the keys...
Love the heart, speed and roar you wrote with!
Let your passions soar, like never before, is all I felt in every word I read! and learned...

You take me there, Felix... and charge me with your own excitement and energy! A report worthy of a reputable Daily. Your passion for the sport is infectious. Feels like total adrenalin rush... or a jolly good dose of maple syrup! Love it! :)) xx

Congratulations to a well deserved driver, Fee - even though my driver is Matt Kenseth, Jimmy Johnson earned the championship, in my eyes - he's had one helluva season - hell, career! Well done, enjoyed this one.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Maybe next year will be Matt's year. I hope. LOL!

High Kuddo's to the quietest man on the track! Jimmy has lots to be proud of both on and off the track and he is quietly marching into the history books. Sorry about Texas, actually I felt pretty bad for him and sat dumbfounded!! Time will tell, but I do believe that when all is said and done years from now he will be the #1 driver of all time. The last race at Homestead, Florida and the Speed Channel will be carrying all the activities beginning on Thurday.

Ron Hornaday #33 Clinched this years title in the Truck series.
Kyle Bush Clinched the title in the Nationwide series.

All in all a pretty good year as everyone got through it safely.
Me, I will stick with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Tony Stewart.

Be always safe,
Karen

Hey- got my son to the Wiscasset Speedway this year. Before that I'd only been to the Oxford Plains Speedway.
Man- fun stuff- but not the big leagues.
Maybe next year.
We like our Maine vacations- but Pocono is just an hour away.
Yeah- maybe next year.
Much enjoyed.

Yes indeed! He is a young and pround victor and NASCAR brings em in. When I was in the tour/travel business those folks who followed NASCAR tyhen, and now, would ride through Hell's half acre to see a race.

Didn't know you were a Nascar
