Johnson wins third title

Nope, this isn't a post about the Colts, OSU, the Reds or Bengals, the Cubs, ND, IU or that team up north. It's about Jimmy Johnson, driver of the #48 Lowe's car who on Sunday won his third in a row Nascar Championship. A feat only done once before in the history of Nascar. And Congrats to Chad Knaus for being the first crew chief to win a 3rd also.

Johnson wins third title in a row to match Yarborough

Is Lowe's still his main sponsor? I thought I saw "Kobalt" all over his car when I was watching the Enterntainment SPorts Network this morning?

Do you mean Jimmie Johnson?

I much prefer Jimmy Dean. Hmmmmmmmm, sausage.

I always wondered what he was up to after he finished coaching the Cowboys...

I'm just sayin...

I'm not a NASCAR fan to even the slightest degree, but I'd bet a severed finger and a toothless grin that somewhere in the south, some drunken idiot would *try to* kick your Sempre Fi arse for misspelling that name.

Kobalt is Lowe's 'private label' for their tools (not the ones in the red vests).

That's okay...my favorite Reds player of all time is Erik Davis.

That's interesting. A couple months ago I picked up one of the 40pc. Kobalt socket sets that was on sale and I got it home and found out they have a F'd up proprietary fit system, so I returned them. Couple days later I went to Menards and got a $40 "Tool Shop" set that had something like 120pc.

Is it true, what I've heard is that Kobalt is made by Snap-On? I also heard if a Kobalt socket, or ratchet breaks Lowes will replace it for free like the Sears Craftsman tools?

That I've never heard, I can't keep up with the these companies buying each other out. A couple of info links:
Kobalt=Private Label
Some forum talkin bout the same stuff

Personally I'm a Craftsman guy, but do get intrigued by Kobalt's coolness.
