JG#24: Rick, I'm a bit frustrated with Jimmie.
RH: Jeff, I watched the race. I don't think he did anything wrong.
JG#24: Maybe not technically, but I think he is racing too hard. It's gonna lead to a crash sometime. Can't he at least be less aggressive when it doesn't matter about position?
RH: I'll talk with him. But the two of you need to work this out.
RH: And when exactly is position not important?
JG#24: I'll call him tomorrow. I think he's pressing too hard since he may miss a race for the baby's birth. Of all people, I know how important that is, but luck is going to run out. He cost me this race.
RH: I thought Stewart and Edwards caused the crash?!?
JG#24: I still think Jimmie was in the wrong. He's in on this. Maybe through Knaus.
RH: You think Jimmie paid Tony & Carl to crash you out???
JG#24: It is possible.
RH: Did you hit your head in that crash or something?
JG#24: Knaus is always up to something. And he seems to have all this information. Stewart has a few bad things in his closet. I'm sure Knaus knows how to use them.
RH: Knaus and Jimmie had nothing to do with your crash. Crashes happen in racing.
RH: As far as I'm concerned, this issue is closed. You boys can work it out.
JG#24: Fine. But if it continues, I'll be back to talk about it again. And I'll deal with it on track too.
RH: Give Ingrid my best. And give Ella a kiss for me.
JG#24: I will.
CK#48: Rick, we need to talk about the 24 team.
RH: Chad, what could you possibly be worrying about the 24 team for?
CK#48: Tomorrow I'll come and talk with you.
RH: I guess.

JG#24: DID YOU SEE WHAT JJ DID TO ME??!??!?!?!?!?!!!!!!
RH: Jeff, I'm sure that Jimmie has a reason.
JG#24: Rick, he's trying to take me out. He's trying to be the next driver to 5 Championships.
RH: And what's
JG#24: He plans to do it by crashing me every week so I can't get any points.
RH: I don't think that h
JG#24: You need to do something.
RH: Like
JG#24: As 48.48% owner, I think we should fire him.
RH: You're kidding right?
JG#24: No. He's pushed me too far this time.
RH: He's the reigning champion
JG#24: No one is above firing.
RH: Even you.
JG#24: I have a lifetime contract. So I am above that.
RH: We gave Jimmie one too.
DE#88: Mr. Hendrick, I was hoping we'd pull off the win, but maybe next week.
RH: Dale, I thought you looked great out there. I'm sure Lance will have some ideas for next time. A win is definitely on your horizon. Soon.
DE#88: Thanks. I think Lance and I are working well. But I'd still like to work with Chad, if that is ever a possibility.
RH: Keep working at it. I doubt Chad will be working with anyone else anytime soon.
JG#24: Well
RH: I don't think that Jimmie
JG#24: We need a spot for Kasey next year, let's give him the 48.
RH: So you want to fire Jimmie at the end of the Year????
JG#24: No, I want him fired right now.
RH: I'm not firing him now. Or later. We'll work out something for Kasey.
JG#24: Then let's fine him.
RH: Since when have we fined anyone for anything???
JG#24: We should have fined Knaus for all that cheating.
JG#24: See you let them get by with EVERYTHING.
RH: We didn't fine Ray when he was tinkering with things.
RH: To your benefit, I might add
JG#24: Ray never did half the stuff Chad has gotten by with, let alone what he's been caught doing.
RH: I don't think Chad cheats.
JG#24: And I KNOW Knaus has bugged our garage or something. He knows EVERYTHING
RH: Jeff, we share information across the teams.
JG#24: But he knows stuff we've never shared.
RH: You're keeping stuff from the team?!?
JG#24: I mean that Steve and I have secrets that no one else could know. Chad knows them. How could he do that?
RH: Chad does not have time to try to find out your secrets. Are you getting paranoid on me? Knaus is too busy innovating.
JG#24: I think he does more blackmailing and that hides the lack of innovation - and he steals from other teams.
RH: What are you talking about?
JG#24: The only way he didn't get a longer suspension last time was that he has something on either France or Helton. Maybe both.
RH: You think Chad is blackmailing Nascar????
JG#24: I'm not so sure that he isn't blackmailing you!
RH: Jeff, why don't you get some sleep an we'll talk about this in the morning?
JG#24: So you haven't ruled out firing Jimmie?
RH: I have ruled it out. You are going to have to suck it up and deal. Man up a little.
JG#24: I'm having the garage swept for bugs tomorrow. And I don't mean cockroaches.
RH: I'm sure you won't find anything.
RH: I'll talk to Jimmie again.
RH: I'm sure this will all smooth over soon.
JG#24: Whatever.
CK#48: Has Gordo come whining yet?
RH: What do you want Chad.
CK#48: We're still on the same page, right? Nothing happens to Jimmie & I. Or else.
RH: Chad, first off, you and Jimmie are great together. Why would I change things?
CK#48: But we are still on the same page.
RH: Yes, Chad, we are.
