The Missus and I were casting about for a new driver when Jeff hung it up. We latched onto Jeff the night he won his very first race. We saw his troubles with Brooke. Were happy when he married Ingrid, watched the children arrive and sprout up before our eyes; especially my wife.

Now the Elliott kid takes over. He must be related to “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville”. He has the pole for Sunday. Maybe we’ll just stand pat with Number 24 and see how we like young Elliott.

Happy trails.

He is related..Bill tried to get Ford to find a place on a Ford team (only Ford team worth anything this year is Penske, the others are dying , overachieving or trying to come back .). Ford didn't have space...Jeff Gordon wanted to drive Fords but Jack Rousch wouldn't let him have the mechanic he had since he first drove, so he went to GM.
