Quite a 1-2 Punch for HMS They might be Ranked #1 for team mates. Cant recall any other team mates putting up the kind of numbers!!!!!

Johnson having a great year, Gordon having an OK year, but a great year for having poles and victories given to him, 3 poles, cause qualifying was canceled due to rain, 1 win cause race was called after halfway point cause he was leading, if they had waited 1 minute Newman would have passed him. (why wasn't this race restarted after a long rain delay ? )
then a few weeks later he had a top 5 finish after a 3 hour rain delay when he was running in the 30 s when the rains started.

I would say Gordon has had one of the best seasons ever. he's been consistent the whole year. Johnson has had a good year, but..then he has also had a few bad races but the wins (because of the chase) has helped him out excedingly. they have both done a great job this season for HMS.

They are really no. 1 and no. 2 for this year
but next year it might be a complete 180
without racing luck , your really just a driver,
so i rank them 1 and 2 in 2007
(do you think Jimmy looked out of control about four races this year) then won them,, that's racing luck

I would rate Jeff's up there. Jimmie's has been good but not flawless.
