Wish martin would have won it but busch actually raced him good and clean and was giving mark room on the inside on the last 4 laps, Also i liked what busch said in victory lane about Martin being a class act. Martin is going to be hard to beat when the chase begins in a few weeks and hope he gets the championship this year!

 

you got me all wrong...i like stewart and newman...but you can't honestly tell me that if they had engines from sayyy..DEI, or some other "also ran team" that they'd be running the same??

 

I believe their Hendrick power and chassis have a lot to do with their success. Who could blame them for going that way either, Hendrick has 8 Sprint cup (Nextel, Winston) championships since 1995.

 

And you've got me wrong also. Yes they buy certain parts from Hendrick, not full race ready cars. No they wouldn't be running the same with engines from RCR or EGR. Hendrick makes the best Chevy motors.

What you're saying makes it sound like anyone who buys parts from Hendrick is a Hendrick team. In that case damn near all the Chevy except for EGR would be a Hendrick team.

 

That's half of it. Other half is the people. If you don't have the right people setting the cars up correctly, the best car is junk.

 

I know, just look at the other Hendrick drivers or teams that buy their stuff.

 

Yeah, look at Dale Jr. for the first 20 or so races.

 

Or other Hendrick drivers in the past, except for Terry Labonte and Kyle Busch.
