Upon leaving today's race at Texas (aka The Other Marathon), we're down to a two-man race for the championship. With only two races to go, lets take a look at the Tale of the Tape between these two superstars.
Teams
Jimmie Johnson: Hendrick Motorsports (former home of Wally Dallenbach)
Matt Kenseth: Joe Gibbs Racing (former home of JJ Yeley)
 |
| Adding to what Larry McReynolds said earlier today: Deciding between the 48 & the 20 is "...like deciding between the red and black on a roulette wheel" --and the 29 is the 0 & 00. |
Sponsors
JJ: Lowe's (a good place to get lost in)
MK: Home Depot (another good place to get lost in) and Dollar General (a good place to find styrofoam coolers)
Crew Chiefs
JJ: Chad Kanus (cheated, conspired, makes a mean bean dip)
MK: Jason Ratcliff (relatively new to the Cup Series, bean dip is a little too tangy)
Championships
JJ: Five (but if it wasn't for the Chase…conspiracy theorists would have much less to whine about)
MK: One (which led to the Chase being implemented, thus denying us thrilling 200-point leads going into Homestead)
Personality
JJ: n/a
MK: droll, dry (kinda like an emcee at a comedy club)
Fanbase Consists Of
JJ: Younger siblings of Jeff Gordon fans (and a few Casey Mears transplants)
MK: Wisconsinites who are OK with not watching football (aka Communists)
