Okay, started to write about Chad Knaus being a bit of a jerk-come on guy, be a team player! The world does not revolve around you and your driver! Then I started to comment on the tire issue and my mind wandered over to the possible changes in testing and then whammo! I read where Michael Waltrip may be taking over the 11 ride (Jason Leffler-Joe Gibbs Racing). That falls into the "what the f..." category. Not only is it rumored to be true for next season but that it may happen this season with Mikey vacating the #15 Napa Chevy like NOW! First of all, if there is any inkling of truth to this you gotta know that Jason feels like crap. Besides the fact that his season has been, let me put this delicately, crap, to have rumors circulating around about your ride has to be distracting. Just ask Bobby Labonte. Secondly, if there is no truth to this rumor you have to wonder what the payoff is for reporting such a thing. This is stressful enough of a time around the garage with the teams trying to get into the Chase. Let's not make it crazier!
