The Auto Club 500 was vintage Jimmie Johnson. To the chagrin of those fans who had hoped that J J’s Daytona 500 performance might be a sign. Sorry haters. Lowes no. 48 crew chief Chad Knaus still makes the perfect pit call more often than anybody else and, like Albert Pujols,  Jimmie Johnson knows what to do with a fat pitch. He doesn’t miss it.

The Sprint Cup Series race almost seemed like the undercard of this second round of 2010 NASCAR schedule. Most of the buzz early in the weekend was about Danica Patrick’s second run in her limited 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule.  Patrick wasn’t a factor in the actual Nationwide Series race. She may not worry the leaders at all this year. But she did OK. She’s learning. It adds interest.

On Pit Row was ably represented by Jerry Wilson - the Diecast Dude to many - during the Auto Club Speedway weekend. Read Jerry’s posts and go to the OnPitRow Twitter page if you missed any of Jerry’s observations during the weekend. Thank you my friend. It was a blast following you the past few days and an honor hosting your stories.

Time for Vegas. Who’s betting against the Lowes car?
