100% agree. I admire them for taking on a new challenge after 3 titles. Johnson and Knaus’s complacency and dominance hurt the sport.

They’ve been doing that a lot…

@@erwinpadgett1050 And yet Ray in this interview pretty much states they could get mad at each other but always ended up laughing it off. I disagree as these guys always had a very good relationship where Knaus and Johnson was always strained. It’s a testament to Jeffs skills that he won another title and ton more races with other guys, I just don’t see the dropoff with Ray but we’ll never know.

@@erwinpadgett1050 Ray didn’t sour, he went on to be a team owner. He moved up. Not only that, was instrumental in bringing Dodge into the sport once again. Ray wanted to be more than a crew chief.

Just like Johnson, Earnhardt, and Petty, their crew chiefs soured over time. So I disagree with you.
