Well after this weekend Hendrick Motorsports seems to be taking up right where they left off last year. With Junior winning the Bud Shootout and Jimmy Johnson winning the pole position for the Daytona 500, HMS looks like they are going to dominate just like they did last year. Although Tony Stewart did give Junior a run for his money in the Shootout in his Toyota, it was still all about teamwork with Jimmie Johnson giving Junior the push that he needed to get around Stewart and to win the race.
Toyota does seem to be doing better this year than it did last year with Michael Waltrip qualifying for the outside of the front row. Can this manufacturer actually beat HMS in the Great American Race? Right now, HMS seems unbeatable because the whole team works together. That is what a team is supposed to do, racing is a odd sport that way, you have a team but you are also an individual racing. HMS seems to know how to keep everything in perspective and work together when they need to and still win the races. That is the whole idea of working as a team. Other teams should follow their example and they would probably be more sucessful.
Now we can look forward to the Gatorade Duel Races on Thursday and then the big race on Sunday. I don't know about you but I can't wait to see who will win.
