PT's views on it: I apologise if you have to be an Autosport subscriber, I am unsure though.

Here's a snippet:

Lol! Tracy can be a bit of a pain in the bum, but AJ seems to be a little you know what

Great stuff.

You gotta love Tracy. I agree with what he said... Silly arrogance from AJ.

Well, PT's story....

So I decided to go out on an ATV on the desert trails at the back of my house.

The end result wasn't pretty. I misjudged a bump, and suddenly the freakin' thing had its way with me like a 300-pound man in San Quentin. On top.
Everything PT says makes me laugh somehow!

Haha, AJ's being a total twit to Paul, but I think we know which one of them got a swelled head first! Retaliate in kind, as they say. Paul's hilarious though.

No, he was repressing the killing machine even when he had those big, dorky glasses. He got LASIK surgery and a personal trainer one offseason and has been acting like a butthead ever since.

Anyway, AJ qualified for the race again this weekend at Martinsville. It tells me that Toyota has put itself together with the Car of Tomorrow, but it's too bad for him that the new car is being phased in at the tracks he probably would struggle the most at.

Yep, AJ is moving up the grid!

It's good to see him in the races, that is after all the only way to get acclimatised to a series.

Still annoyed at him ditching Forsythe though.

I just love the way he got dumped for being a slow piece of you know what, was promptly picked up by Jerry's team and won three in a row.

Yeah take that, guys.

It shows the importance of the team around you doesn't it? Forsythe obviously made him happier and it showed on track. Although Forsythe are a bit better than RuSport.

I don't think he was dumped for lack of speed, more he was a complete headcase. The amount of points he threw away through brain fade (particularly in 2005) was astonishing and such a shame.

So anyways, Forsythe saved his career and he repaid them by leaving for the pay cheque.

Montreal was far more exciting, shutting the door on SeaBass when they were not really racing for position (Or was it the other way round?)

Just thought I'd check up on Allmendinger (I'm a Champ Car guy you know); what's the general oppinion? Is he better off in a lowly position in NASCAR than running at the front of the CC field? Will he be able to progress in his stock car career? And so on.

He seems to be moving forawrd bit by bit. NASCAR is a long haul thing though, so it's hard to tell right now.

However, I am still annoyed he turned his back on Forsythe and wish him every lack of success for the future.

He's improving some, but still isn't having too great of a season. He's made 4 out of 11 races and is 47th in points after the last race. A lot of problem is that he's running in a Toyota and their results in general have not been good so far. As a comparison his teammate Brian Vickers who has several years of stock car experience has made 5 out of 11 races with one top-10 (Toyota's only top-10 so far) and is 43rd in points. So basically his not running the best isn't all his fault.

Good to see both Red Bull drivers made it into the Coke 600.. Shows they have good qualifying speeds on the 1.5mile tracks
