Dear Jimmy,

While my fondness for your looks has grown over the years, my affection for your race car driving has not. To put it bluntly – you need to stop winning.

Take one for the Hendrix team and put on a little brake. We all know you’re a good racer, you proved it last year when you won the NASCAR Nextel Cup, but you’re just too pretty for NASCAR. And what is with those over sized sunglasses you’ve been wearing during your interviews? I think I saw Britney Spears wearing the same ones the other day.

For the sake of NASCAR racing, grow a beard. Be one with the fans. Tony Stewart is loved because he’s burly, he smells and he never shaves – that and he climbs fences and then takes the ladder down because he’s so winded. Jeff Gordon could be liked, but his nickname is the Rainbow Warrior and his wife is foreign – okay I really don’t know if that’s part of it, but what I do know is that we need to get back to the heart of racing.

I want to see more of the “intimidator” out of you and maybe wear more black to get some #3 love.

Jimmy, I tell you all of this because I care. It’s not about you, it’s about me…okay no really – it’s about you. I’m breaking up with you Jimmy. It’s for the best.

Yours Truly,
JG

p.s. what do you think NASCAR Nation – will you be watching Jimmy to the finish?
