Roush dominates Phoenix
It was a Roush weekend in Phoenix with Biffle running away with the Busch race and Kurt Busch winning the Cup race. Both had strong cars that just pulled away from the field where no one could seem to touch them.
There were also strong runs by other drivers that normally haven't been seen in the top ten - Michael Waltrip finished second, with Burton third, Earnhardt Jr. fourth, and Vickers fifth. The rest of the top ten finishers were Edwards, Kyle Busch, Sauter and Nemechek.
Both Rusty and Newman struggled all day with ill handling cars and just when they got it a little better, Rusty ended up getting caught up in Johnson's mess one more time. Third time this year, if you count the Shootout.
Of course, Johnson says it was Stewarts fault, he said that Stewart stood on the brakes just to mess with him. Come on, that's ridiculous. Tony may be a hot head, but he's not going to make someone else wreck him and that's exactly what would happen if you stood on the brakes with someone that close behind you.
Johnson's car wasn't handling as well as he would like it and even with the ill-handling car, he was driving aggressively. If it had been a Rookie driving like that, he would have been called every name in the book and then some.
What can't Johnson admit it when it's his fault? He hit Stewart, not the other way around, it was Johnson's fault and he needs to learn to take responsibility for things, he'd be more respected by the other drivers and fans if he did.

I thought that Tony or Rusty should have gotten out of their car and told the interviewers that Hendrick should fire him like Johnson did about Harvick. Ever since the season started (and the Harvick Daytona wreck) Jimmie's had that haughty I'm-the-only-worthy-driver-on-the-track attitude that makes me hate him more than I did before...and that's a lot of hate.

JJ has picked on both Harvick and Stewart. Not very smart. Those are the last two guys you would want to have coming after you. Stewart will payback JJ. It's inevitable. When was the last time someone got away with running into Tony. Dale Jr. said it best when he said that he would not want to get on Tony's bad side. Well JJ was dumb enough to do that.
If you heard the in-car radio during Bristol, Jeff Burton didn't give Johnson enough room. Bullshit.
