He knows this is his chance to show what he's really capable of.<br />2) AJ gets his chance to get back on the track. Doubtful he will do much in Finch's equipment (not a knock in AJ), but to go from being suspended to back in a car that's not a start and park, in just over three months, is pretty amazing. <br /><br />I'm curious if Hendrick strongly debated between reaching out to Smith vs. Allmendinger to fill Jr's seat. Obviously AJ comes with baggage, at least for now, but if a guy like Rick Hendrick was shown as willing to put AJ in one of his cars, even temporarily, I think it would have sent a strong message and done a lot for AJ. That being said, racing's business, and it ain't charity. I think Rick is trying just as much to help Smith by giving him the ride for two races.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-55040405368321310002012-10-11T11:27:36.446-04:002012-10-11T11:27:36.446-04:00This is an opportunity for AJ and NASCAR to prove ...This is an opportunity for AJ and NASCAR to prove that a mistake can be overcome.
