Well said Jerry. He has always been a very talented driver. It seems now he has a better understanding of where the line is, that line which when crossed turns fast and aggressive into an expensive mistake. It's always good to see him in the house because you know he will give it everything he has and put on a show. The "empty pockets tour" is well deserving off accolades.
