Hendrick Teamwork Pays Off at Dega
Jimmy C's NASCAR Blog &bull Apr 21, 2011
I've ready many pieces written about Sunday's Talladega race, in which Jimmie Johnson pulled a rabbit out of his hat and won the Aaron's 499.

On Sunday, the teamwork that seemed to matter the most was provided by four teams who reside under… Full Story »
