There's a first time for everything

Holy mother of ... I agree with Charlotte Observer's David Poole.

The headline of his blog post today: "It’s time for Bill Weber to stop bringing up the Hendrick plane crash when Johnson is about to do something special."

Yeah, yeah, I know I pick on the guy a lot (like, just yesterday, in fact). But, man, Poole nailed this one.

Poole is back to his usual tricks, though, in Tuesday's paper. That Matt Kenseth comment in his column really deserves a follow-up.

Harvick said it too. That makes the comment noteworthy, not vindictive. Lighten up.

Marc said:

For the life of me I can't understand why Bill Weber is so obsessed over the issue. A Hendricks win is always followed by yet another reminder courtesy Weber.

Maybe grief counciling is in order.

John Newsom said:

Dave - I couldn't tell from Kenseth's comment whether he (and Harvick, though I missed his comment) that JJ has figured something out like Tony Stewart did last year or that JJ has figured something out like his crew chief did at Daytona, wink.

I think it's the former. But the 48's crew chief has a well-documented history of, ah, creative engineering. I really wanted Poole (or someone) to ask, What did you mean by that?
