I took away that he has the look of a guy who is getting really burned out. He said some of the right things, but he also hinted at that he's not totally focused. I've heard some of the ESPN "experts" say they think he's excited about this upcoming season. Of course they have to say that since JR=Ratings, but after watching that interview and watching him in some of the races last year I'm not going to be real anxious to lay money on him...especially as the season goes longer. He could be a guy to fade as the season goes on. Also, side note...and everyone may laugh at me for this. He briefly mentioned in an interview last year that he's a huge football and fantasy football fan (Redskins in particular I think), and that when there's a race on Sunday during football season, he asks for updates on his fantasy team and the Redskins over the radio throughout the race. Not exactly a guy that seems totally into a race. I could be wrong, but that's what I noticed. Thoughts anyone?

It seems to have happened time and time again. I will expect him to be strong until we hit the HOT summer months, than with him not being in tip top shape I think it effects him. I honestly believe he will win a race this year, heck, he should have won 3 last year.
