Johnson is the new Pearson

#1

They're both the best drivers and they can't get any respect.

I own appliances that have more personality than Jimmie Johnson.

Has there really been "outrage" that Pearson was overlooked for the first
HOF class?

I own appliances that have more personality than Jimmie Johnson.

But are they as dependable and consistent?

Was it five? I would go for France, Junior Johnson, Petty, Pearson, and
Earnhardt. I have not even bothered to look at it yet but let me guess and
say that they chose some real old timer such as Fireball Roberts ahead of
Pearson.

My list, not in order of importance

The original France
Petty
Earnhardt
the best Allison
Pearson
Junior Johnson
Fireball
Yarborough

I stopped at eight. I do not believe that everything has to be ten.

If pressed for ten I would go with Darryl Waltrip and the second best
Allison.

France Jr. in for Pearson.

You have the rest correct.

......More like he's the new Mark McGwire or Jose Canseco.

...... and we all know how much respect they get now.

JJ's body passed drug testing.
JJ's car passed post race inspection....again...last night
I can only guess, but it must hurt when one can't find any
evidence to support ones illusions.

Don't despair, KyB is doing really well in the Nationwide Series.
Although, he has been sucking in Cup ever since they caught
him cheating several weeks ago.
