I've been out of the country for a few months and I'm wondering if anybody's
been following Gordon. How's he doing?

I think you will find that there are going to be more problems for him
in the upcoming season. Yeah he will win his share of races, but in
the Hendrick barn the younger guys seem to be doing much much bettter
then the older (veterans) drivers. Kinda like it was in Gibbs when
Labonte was on top and they brought in Tony..and look how that turned
out. jeff is a great driver, but I think his time as a Champion is
pat, he will continue to be a factor in NASCAR but to to the extent
that he was a few years ago.

Younger drivers at Roush hasn't seemed to hurt Mark Martin much. I think the
24 team has been searching to restore some lost chemistry. Time will tell if
they have solved their issues.

You seem to forget that Gordon was a product of a combination of good
driver, good crew chief, and good technology when the old timers between
1993-1999 didn't have a clue about CAD, wind tunnels and aero, physical
fitness for the crew, not to mention the questionable things like the T-Rex
car, downforce magically injected into the car during the race by bending
the fenders creatively during pit stops.

It wasn't until the RAD era that wind tunnels were regularly used by teams
and the 88 bunch hired the crew away from the 24 team.

I think the younger guys in NASCAR are a problem with their lack of concern
for safety. They take chances which result in rule changes like racing
back to the green and passing off road at tracks like Daytona and
Talladega. Gordon hardly ever thinks twice about punting someone into teh
wall for a win, neither does JJ. JJ likes to cheat, apparently too, given
the shock deal

Well, tough, JG isn't the only one who likes to punt - many of the
younger drivers do it, whether or not they proclaim their innocence.

And it's odd that you say JJ cheated on the shocks, given that Nascar
said it wasn't cheating. It all depends on who your driver is, right?
