Thread: OT:Can I gripe? Thanks for saying "yes"

Cris, isn't there something in the works for David Gilliland to drive the #02 next year some? I have heard speculation that Addington may be his crew chief. They both are very calm and soft spoken.

You haven't offended me but Marcos Ambrose was warned for the same thing, they were bump drafting through the corner, not down the straightaways. Nascar doesn't care about bumping down the back straightaway or through the tri-oval but if you're doing it as deep as mikey and marcos were you're going to get warned. And then when you blatantly ignore a warning because you think you need the practice, yeah you should get...

I have no idea whom will drive the 02 next year, and was really kind of hoping it was Jamie McMurray rather than David Gilliand. Although I know that EGR is looking at Jamie but having issues with Bass Pro wanting Jamie. If they do run the 02, I think they would be foolish to not use a knowledgable and experienced crew chief like Addington. Hes proven he can get the job done, just needs the chemistry to last.

Margie I totally agree with you on all points - I am glad you typed it all LOL Hopefully, with Tony starting fourth, that will keep him up front and out of trouble and into victory lane!

The problems with Addington I hope isn't Kyle. As for JJ, that is one reason why I hate watching races after the chase begins. If he was whining during practice one can only imagine what the race is going to be like." Help the other drivers are picking on me."

I had heard that Gilliand was going to be the 4th driver for JGR. Maybe they will keep Addington for him??? As for black flagging Waltrip, I thought it was a crock too. But then again, I thought the whole sudden no bump drafting rule was ridiculous, I mean, that's how they get around at Dega. I understand that they wanted to prevent "the big one" but we still got that in the end, didn't we? I don't know that...
