But it'* ok for JJ, just not Danica, right?
calm down there sparky. i was utilizing sarcasm to make a point. i think its sad that "Jim Armstrong" in the AP felt the need to point out that she won "after the top contenders were forced to pit for fuel". PMom got exactly what i was saying [whether she knew it or not, i sincerely hope she did], apparently you did not.
