Says alot about Jdub then. Last year he went into Saturday with a points lead, got taken out of the race and finished 80 points down. Comes out Sunday full of confidence, brains everyone and wins.


Shane should watch Jamie more closely, or ask Scotty for his sports psychologists number.

A well deserved Champion. Has been the fastest guy most of the year and good to see a non 888 car take out the Title.

I don't know how many points he scored in Adelaide but I feel he should have had at least a one meeting ban after his unseemly antics in Newcastle last year an act which was a silly spur of the moment decision unlike Scott's usual very sportsmanship.

Are you talking about the prang with Lowndes? Or trolling?

Careless perhaps but not deliberate or unsportsmanlike - just a rush of blood on a very big day.

The calmness with which he let Davey go when he knew he had done enough is testament to the lesson her learnt that day.

When the order to let him go is sent from Mr Penske himself then you sit up and take notice, and do as you are told! (I saw the order passed on to a team member from Penske himself, and Roger mentioned same in the post race interview with him)

Happy for Scott to win the title, and T888 have only themselves to blame for being slack under pressure re the air jacks released before the refuelling hose was out.

In the end their lack of Sunday pace with the #97 resulted in a win for the DJRTP team, regardless of Saturday's T888 penalty .

Ryan Story did mention that the plan was always to let Reynolds go. Maybe someone forgot to tell Scott.

It did make for great theater on TV watching Kathy Penske yelling "let him go by", as Roger calmly got up out of his seat and walked over to Ryan and remind him.

I've never heard Shane say anything negative in interviews about anything no matter what had happened, but one Sunday he did it multiple times, having a go directly at Supercars. That's how much it irked him and the team.
LOL. Reminds me of his chatter over the radio at Stone Bros. at Hamilton.

You don't earn respect by throwing the toys out of the pram with a race to go and still in the hunt, you do it by going out and fighting til the end, ala JW at Newcastle on the Sunday last year.

I read somewhere that Crusher was given Mr McLaughlin’s hemet in exchange for support in the early days of his career.

Wonder if that largesse extended to getting this sorted...

Racing is pretty much the only form of sport that I follow, but I'm always interested about bits of trivia like this. Sounds like there would be some pretty good stories as match fixing isn't the sort of thing that is thrown around lightly! Can you give me some examples?

Scott is a good guy but his early career was guided by others.

His name is on the door even if someone else owned the door.... or ordered and bought the door & may or may not have paid for it....

That there are no positives for the success from the principals suggests the issue never got cleaned up... when perhaps it had every opportunity to do so

Running a Pty Ltd company solely for the labour of one person is frowned upon in any case, and you'd wonder how badly it would reflect on someone if this actually got investigated.

No it's not; in fact many years ago the minimum number of shareholders was reduced from 2 to 1 to facilitate situations such as that.

Anyway, digging up reasons to try and divert attention from Scotty's and DJRTP's amazing and well-deserved 2018 championship win seems very petty.

Not petty at all. We are speaking to the character of a driver who has now been named a Champion of the sport, and as such represents the sport as Champion in all his dealings in future.

So you're saying champions are not allowed to have financial issues in a sport which is governed by, and consumes vast amounts of, money?

If so, that's utterly ridiculous.

I think most will be able to see through what is essentially a thinly-veiled dig at DJRTP.

Again, quite petty; and remembering too they're one of only two teams to have broken through the 888 championship dominance of the last decade; and they've done that twice now.

Credit where credit is due should be the approach here.

If DJRTP were the shining light you think they are, with this mess still hanging around they would tell Scotty to get it sorted out asap and put it to bed. It's not like they can't russle up some funds in the unlikely event Scotty is a bit short.
