We won our first race out in our new car last year at silver state, just saying!

Yeah, but you're comparing apples to oranges. It was early in the season, you were running 7th in points going into the SS 300 (100 points behind the points leader Scheuler), and you were a chassis builder using racing to develop your product. You had
nothing to lose and
everything to gain.
But coming into the race mid-season with an unproven package "thrown" together in less than 2 weeks, and leading by only 11 points over the 2nd place team (that drew first start at this years event, and won the race last year I might add) was a
massive risk, and
took gnarly sized balls!
Hindsight says, "Johnny's the man", and he is. I've been praising him since he started racing in the 1900 class, and even more so now. I considered his team to be 2nd best, only behind JX, as the team most capable of persevering in any given event, for any given reason. Now, that ranking surely deserves a second look, for his
is the complete package.
Making the transition from $80,000 UTV's to $400,000 Trophy Trucks after only his 2nd year in the sport could prove to be much easier, financially speaking, with a pro class championship under his belt. He risked that luxury this weekend. (I'm just sayin').
Congratulations to you and your team on your victory. You have been constantly working towards a package that is competitive and reliable. No team deserves the win more than yours.
