I used to think WJ was one of the rudest and arrogant Pro Stock racers ever until I had time to talk to him at the Keystone Big Show in Atlanta a couple of years ago. He's one of the most serious racers at the track and very personable and talkative away from the track. Roy johnson is one of the friendliest engine/crew chiefs in the business at the track and way but still deadly serious about racing.
All these teams spend untold amounts of money and effort and try very hard to keep their hard work and effort within the team. It's hard enough to lose a team member to another team and have that knowledge transferred from team to team. Probably every team pushes the envelope on rules and takes advantage of any or all gray areas(that's racing just like most fast stock, super stock and comp racers do). That's racing and we all know it. Effort is what seperates the cream of the crop from the rest of em. To just blindly call a winner or former winner a cheater without being able to back up your accusations is wrong. JMT.

So true. Anyone remember when Bob Glidden wrecked, the first thing he did was take his coat off and cover the carbs and intake because the scoop was gone.

In the interview with Mike's crew chief, he was asked a question on what happened and if they had time to fix it? he said it was a cracked intake, and that if they had 5mins it could be fixed?? what could they have done to fix it in 5mins and be ready to run??

EVERY HP found is a major deal, find somthing in your chassis that works? you HIDE it from everyone else, thats why wraps that cover the rear of the cars in the pits are now so widely used. EVERYTHING is sacred in the world of PS Stock & SS tear down side by side in the barn, wanna see what the next guys over internals look like, just take a peek. Try that with the PS guys & gals and there would be major issues to resolve before the first Dzus button is turned The PS cars have engine blankets that cover everything but the carbs, so when they roll into the back of the lanes to get fuel the other teams can't see their engine components...once fueld the blanket comes off just as the front end goes on. I'd invite you guys to come by to see what I mean, but I can't let ya by the ropes.... Thanks to all that called & emailed yesterday after Rodgers crash, appreciate everyone's concern & I passed all the good wishes on to Rodger. It's nice to see and know how close the racing world "family" really is! Bob Unkefer PR & Media, BrogdonRacing.com

After he got the car loaded up I stopped by and talked to him and he was the nicest guy even under those circumstances. Warren has never been nice, he signs autographs with a scowl on his face and when the Dodge Boys were beating his *** he never failed to bad mouth them. JimR
