Good thing it was almost over. Great to see a team with that strong of a family bond. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZrT0xjsmZw Try this , and go the the 4th one http://www.nhra.com/videowall.aspx Last edited by moparnut426; 11/16/12 02:38 PM.

Funny all the ones that got backing quickly went Chevy when the funds dried up! I love men with the courage of their convictions! Congratulations to the whole team!

You are a true southern gentleman. This speech should be an inspiration to all of the racers and families that are out there every week-end whether it be at a National Event or at the small races trying to make it in the Big Show. You are a well deserving Champion. You said it all for every Father/Son and Grandson team that works hard to get to the top. I think you spoke for all of the Dads who came up years ago loving the sport of Drag Racing and now are out there working with their sons and grandson. Congratulations Allen Johnson, the 2012 NHRA Pro Stock Champion.

Very well deserved championship for AJ, his dad and the whole crew and lets hope they can do this again sometime!! Very moving speech for sure and really nice to see someone with real feelings and not afraid to show them. Thanks AJ to you and the team and family for bringing a Championship back to the Mopar team. You have made us all very proud Russ

Our goverment should watch that speach, and learn about the values of good hard working families that believe in God, work their azzes off to ful fill a dream, recognize the way they got there, and wear their hearts on their sleeves, and can show sincere emotion, and credit the friends that are true and genuine. They never asked much of anyone. They just worked harder and never gave up. Congrats to a true American racer and Mopar believer, who fought thru all the odds to fulfill a dream.
