" Well one. Have a question for today. You think you can run hand perpich races. At the end of the year. In what we call chase. And win exchange. Apparently. That's a lot harder than it sounds. Except for one team and that's 48 team Johnson's right now it's. So far worse than ninth. And it's that's pretty amazing when you think about our Marc and Juan Pablo who were pre and neck before Charlotte. They -- in Charlotte they both had that races. Awesome bunch of points. Pretty nice pretty comfortable -- A nine points scored in Martinsville we knew Martinsville on me a good race for the 48 team always and others at any point lead. Jeff or 118 points. So. It looks to me like. And the forty team as well as what point in state championship. Photo -- those numbers say this these numbers are amazing to me. In India. 56 chase races and so for. The 48 team is once statements you know that's 30% winning average I mean even in in. And baseball. That was incredibly. Good batting average he has been purchased 26. -- games. That's 46%. Averaged almost 8%. He's been partners that he beat Jimmie Johnson. 31 top class. That's a 55%. Average of the top and 42 top. That is us and -- Those numbers no -- minute of the match and it was wild and chase started -- said all along someone's gonna have to step up and show me. They can beat the forty somebody's gonna have to step up and show me. That he. Consistency. News beat Jimmie Johnson -- Ford championship. No one's been so foreign and quite honestly this team make him win. Lately -- team it would surprise me one bit late Guatemala tomorrow. That would surprise leader that the team is that I. I made economic -- I've seen. I've seen Richard Petty when he was at its best wins championships. I seemed tailor our when he was at its best winning championships. Jeff Gordon when he was at various us all cable myself. Guys that won multiple championships. When they were with the right team they had -- right call our rights -- everything was right. And they -- maximize. All their resources. And that's what's his forty teams right now they are the best team racing. They're the best team I've ever seen memories. I mean -- and certainly am not and that. He might go to Talladega Sunday and finished Atlantis and he may not as fortunate. But I'm pretty sure he's going to and I am also pretty sure and Nomar for years the 48 team is the best team and obscene. In our sport. I know takes a lot of people often hear that but you gotta give answers. Given Saturdays. They're four they're performing to perfection. Racist -- and I think what separates it from all the others is. Dedication. These -- these dedication. And I think. They just refuse to lose. Channel yourself that often and let a couple of quick adjustments. And cars right and Jimmy drives to the front and most of them as the race not -- it. 24 team cars in Kansas and Jeff Gordon and consist. But he can make the right adjustments they don't make the right call -- he's up he's down he's running an exit from the back. That team is that it would be consistent enough to compete with the 48. And I. IOC. Anybody else that he's so. I think he's pretty well done deal myself I think about it while car I think what -- Talladega. Go down there might make a deal with with mark which would be bad. Which when bad. In himself. And even junior. They make up our backs are there are all of course. -- Don't -- that -- always talk about the storm and they don't wanna be an storm. But it's all about their problem I don't play outlet that the -- lightning flash and and that. Debris field job it's only. But -- backs out of trouble and go late in the day. That's the best strategy. Trying to out out with a decent finish that's the best -- it might backfire. You might stay back out at all and when he's -- of the product and you never know. But I at least that much itself a chance to get the audience. Before a late -- hours with the -- they are these DOT's awaiting draft. Two cars are much faster now practical hours. You can do it more in Jeff and -- all lined up and make it -- right now are buying thankfully went -- so that's what happens now. So Jimmie Johnson. I think he's got his fourth championship of this -- racing go to Talladega. Back with your buddies that everything in -- oh. Law goes into Talladega. Pertinent today on the mound."
