Have most of you noticed, in the last several races, that JJ's restarts have been weak. This was also true last night after the final caution. It took him several laps to pass JG, who was on 2 tires, and pull away from the field. |
pulling Kahne by 4 or 5 car lengths by turn 1, and Kenseth
by almost as much. Only Gordon was equal.
As for taking several laps to pass Gordon, I think it's a
combination of being very careful in racing with a teammate,
and Johnson not being all that good at door-to-door racing.
He doesn't seem to like to run side-by-side for several
laps to make a pass, he seems to prefer to get a real run
off the corner and make the pass all in one straight.

It took him several laps to pass JG, who was on 2 tires, and pull away from the field. I'm not a gear but maybe one you could explain this. Is it a gear setting, a tire warm-up issue, or finding the right groove? |

but kept getting loose while on the bottom. He eventually
fell inline behind JG. Then JJ went high, got a run, and
this time made it stick on the bottom, passing JG.

about restarts. Obviously, JJ has other talents.
JG has always been really good at restarts; JJ less so. Many are;
many aren't.

because of a car beside it, or another reason.

I mentioned it last week, actually, although in a thread that wasn't about restarts. Obviously, JJ has other talents. JG has always been really good at restarts; JJ less so. Many are; many aren't. N. |
the driver. To me, it seems more likely that it's a
car setup issue, but you could be right.
