JJ is arrogant, self-serving, acts superior and is an all-in-all-jerk. He deserves about 20% of all the praise he gets...Chad the other 80%. Please stop trying to shove him down our throats. It only makes us dislike him more.

Only thing obvious from you ridiculous post is that you have never met Jimmie nor paid a bit of attention to what he does on track. Last time I checked there is no one in that car on the track pushing the gas/clutch/brake pedals, shifting gears, and steering the car but Jimmie. Don't get me wrong Chad is the best Crew Chief in the business but Jimmie is just as responsible for their success as he is.
No one is telling you you have to like him but don't make statements you can't back up. I have met him several times and have seen firsthand and experienced what a wonderful and humble person he is to go along with his great racing talent and success.

I will have to admit I didn't know that whole thing about his rolled over truck and 48 hours in a ditch and his ability to "schmooz" the sponsors at an early age. I think that one reason he isn't popular is the fact that he is well "Vanilla Nice". You are right about the golf cart thing. I laughed my lugnuts off when that happened. The people that direct the Lowes commercials need to direct him in the public eye and he needs to fire his PR people. Maybe Spencer could "help" with J.J.'s image. LOL

Very Simple , He is not a Good Ol' Boy , He is a Californian.
