Sure he is up there and making great money but he is not getting the best equiptment or respect from other teams. When he was with Gibbs and even now he has always been the Gibbs test driver for their R&D car
Just a quick note...I spoke to the Yeley's about his troubles at Eldora, and they said that J.J. had an intermitent problem in the feature in which the left front would lock up when turning right into the corner, causing a spin (I can't remember if it was due to a brake issue, or a wheel clearance problem, as I heard something similar about another competitor as well). Makes sense to me. I know the kid hasn't forgotten that much about driving on dirt.
Also, word around the Yeley campfire is that they may be building their own late model for future Preludes, as well as any other event J.J. may want to run.
