Coverage up here of off road racing is non exixtent and I'll be the first to admit aside from a few names and what I read on here, I've got no clue about off road racing. Saying that, putting what is going to be the 3 time Cup Champion in your truck is going to get you and your sponsors a LOT of exposure.
Obviously I'd rather see (I mean hear) about Robby racing in the TT but I'd be tuned in to hear about JJ racing Robby's truck just as intently.

How could you like Robby and Jimmy? That is an oxy moron! On one hand there is Robby, no doubt the best most likeable guy on the circuit. On the other hand you have Jimmie arrogant ass Johnson, the guy that put the prim in primadonna! I just dont get it these guys are polar oposites!
Calling BS.
This close to the end of the season.
Leading in the chase.
Sponsor and team restrictions I assume would restrict what he does.
No way he is going travel down to Mexico and race the Baja 1000 with RG.
Pre-running, maybe but I doubt it. Testing in the desert north of the border, most likely if there is any truth to this birdie. But my guess is this birdie will be eating crow cuz it ain't true.
As a team owner and not in the chase, RG can focus on Baja and Nascrap. JJ can't. Team, sponsors, etc. depend on him to focus.
And no way RG would put in JJ for part of the Mil.

I saw JJ interviewed once and he made a comment about how stupid it is to bounce around in the desert heat and get all hot and dirty when you could be at a track with your air conditioned coach instead. I lost a lot of respect for him that day. If he mans up and runs the 1000 in a TT all will be forgiven. I am skeptical but I wuld love to see it. I give it a 20:1 long shot.
Kim, you will hear more of the race listening to the weatherman feed on RDC than being at the race. I wonder if 310 is going? I haven't asked if he is helping out with Weatherman stuff this year.
