They say a picture is worth a thousand words. . . .  What does this one say to you?  The bottom line is the prodical son has fired the shot heard round the world.  All winter long the question burning the NASCAR world has been, How will Jr fare with HMS?  Well tonight I think you got your answer! 

Jr has answered all his critics and naysayers in only his FIRST RACE!  And the thing that has impressed me the most is how it was an absolute team effort.  Jr gave credit to his new teammate Jimmy Johnson for helping him win the race.  And that is why Hendrick is the dominate team in NASCAR today, cause, lets face it, you can have all the horsepower, the best handling cars, all the sponsor dollars you want, and maybe a really good and talented driver, but in todays NASCAR world, it don't mean anything unless the whole team  can look past themselves and do what is right for the collective whole.  Hendrick drivers are the best today because no matter how big or popular the driver,  Gordon, Johnson, Mears, and Earnhardt Jr, work together as a collective unit to accomplish the same goal.  While other teams are tearing themselves and other drivers apart in the garage area, these guys are working together to WIN!!!  And thats why it will be no surprise, at the end of the year it will be a HMS driver holding the Sprint Cup Trophy!  Congratulations go to not just Earnhardt Jr for winning the shootout, but to the whole HMS team, for proving once again that teams win championships and individuals sink!
