Nascar Cup 2011 Race 5 - Fontana

Thank you Jimmie Johnson for allowing me to waste several hours practicing online to completely destroy me before turn one. Besides me, we all improved our finishing average. I think Scot's right though, these have been awfully difficult. And though challenging is good, it is nice to be in victory lane...and not to pick up chunks of your car that happen to fall that way. I'll do some diagnostics at Martinsville and try to get a good combination going. Jimmie is in trouble...
