SAY IT LOUDER NORM!!! Goodness, what a gossip rag this is turning out to be!
Has anyone maybe thought of the fact that there are a ton of ANTI-Toyota peeps
out there? I’ve heard many many comments in the stands about the coming of
“TOYOTA” and I’m at least open to the fact that maybe one of those anti-people
may have had something to do with this situation? I’d like to believe Mikey
wouldnt do anything to jeopardize his involvement with Toyota.

Hooray for NASCAR and the media. what a great job of character asassination. Why do commentators have to interpret rather than state fact. Michael stated that he was the head of the company and he was responsible NOT THAT HE HAD ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTIONS OF SOMEONE ON THE TEAM! c’MON, TELL IT LIKE IT IS.

I was not a Sr. fan, but you have to respect the man. I am a Jr. fan. I was not
inheirited, I was made. Same with Rusty, I was not a fan of his, but if his son
just happens to have a laid-back attitude and seem like someone I would like to
drink a beer with, then I will probably root for him too. I am a big Mark Martin fan,
but I don’t really know anything much about Matt. It’s not about bloodlines, I’m not
picking out a labrador!!!

No he get special treatment because his dad died. And his dad was “the face of Nascar.” Thats why. Jr didn’t make any fans on his own. They all are and were fans of his dad. The same thing will happen when Rusty’s son gets in to Nextel Cup. They don’t earn their fans, they inherit them.

what makes you guys think that jr cheats? u have no proof of that…and i dont think that michael cheats. we all know that knaus does we have proof. and just because jr is sr son doesnt mean thats only reason he gets alot of attention. hes just very well liked and it does have a little bit to do becuase of his dad everyone knows that. and i really dont think he gets special attention he gets treated like all drivers do.

refresh my memory - when was tony eury suspended for cheating? oh that’s right.
NEVER. and how many times has chad been suspended? last season, a four race suspension
was unheard of. it’s the chad knauss’ of this sport that are forcing the stiffer
penalties. And that is the pity.

Johnson has never cheated, knaus maybe, but not Johnson, and Jimmie has proven over and over that he can win without cheating. Sorry he is just so good that you think he has to cheat in order to win.. LMAO Pity really!

Johnson doesn’t cheat. Your statement should be “unless you drive the 8 car.” Oh wait never mind. He doesn’t win.

I do believe Mikey and I will tell ya why…he worked his butt off to get this
team into the Nextel Cup. I don’t think he would jeopardize it by doing something
this stupid. Cheaters don’t win (unless you drive a 48 car) and he realizes that - he
has won two Daytona 500’s to date.
