Front Row Joe!!!! Good sh#@!! Now, let’s see if he can race well, I hope so, it will be good for him and that team. But I do have to say, GO JEFF BURTON!!
Shave that facial hair Joe. It don’t look good on you. Congratulations on not only into the show, but knocking Tony off the pole. That’s about as good as it gets.

Joe doesn’t look good at all. He does look thin. He looks kind of sickly to me. I just hope it’s nothing long term if he is sick. He just wasn’t himself during the interviews either.
