Jimmie Johnson wins NASCAR jackpot in Las Vegas

March 12 2007

Yep, it’s Jimmie Johnson again, winning his THIRD straight Nextel Cup race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Hmm… I wonder if the guy is just as good with Las Vegas casinos? Winning three straight in Las Vegas sure is something especially if you can win that easy in, say… baccarat or poker tables in Sin City.

The defending NASCAR Nextel Cup series champion, Jimmie Johnson, saw the checkered flag for the third straight time at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, beating teammate Jeff Gordon in the process.

Oh yeah, Johnson’s problems on the track was all thanks to the changes its stupid owner, Bruton Smith, made. That’s including an increase in the banking from 12 degrees to 20 and a ridiculously curved pit lane that makes a nude Britney Spears, all of a sudden, look normal.

Well, for what it’s worth, Johnson’s Hendrick teammate, Jeff Gordon, should’ve won this one. Hell, he virtually dominated the race, leading it after 111 laps. If he only stayed on the track and not take the stupid pit stop he made, thinking he had a flat left-rear tire. Jeez…

Jeff Gordon gave up the lead with 32 laps to go. Jimmie Johnson got ahead five laps later and held on for his third straight win in Las Vegas after the final restart with 11 more laps to go. (Jeez… These NASCAR races sure are looong…)

Jeff Gordon’s excuse for making such a costly mistake?

”I think I would have won the race today if I didn’t have a baby on the way, I guess that was my distraction. I lost concentration. I was thinking about that baby and what I’m going to name her.”

You’re pathetic. Just shoot yourself in the head with a magnum.
