I was not necessarily talking about your comment/opinion....this time. Even though if he was not for Mark Martin being the driver of the #5 full time, he would not have attended the News Conference with Jimmie Johnson as the only two Hendrick drivers to be there. He knows Brad needs more time in the Nationwide Series & probably would want him in his own Cup car if he decides to move up to that series at some point.

However, everybody needs to understand that no flaming of any driver will be allowed. This will not turn into a place where every other thread gets locked because of a lack of repsect for any driver. I have read a few threads where it could have easily have turned into that.
