your going to see RG scrambling to get out from behind everyones dust(his starts WAy back in the pack) at the B1K.

As for JJ, his roots are in MX and off road, I think hes forgotten where he came from (El Cajon & you cant take the East County out of anyone)

This will never ever happen! Period!

Here are a list of reasons why this could never happen.

1 Jimmie has stated that he would never go back and race in Baja. Never Ever!
2 Jimmie did say that he might consider racing a CORR truck someday as that was more his style and that was what he raced with Herzog before Herzog gave him his chance in NASCAR.
3 Robby is sponsored by Monster Energy. Monster is a rival of Pepsi's AMP and Hendrick Motorsports is sponsored by Pepsi. That is why Dale Jr. could have never brought BUD back to Hendrick as Pepsi is linked to all the HMS teams. So I dont think HMS and Pepsi would even think about letting their 2 time NASCAR Champion get in a Monster Energy backed truck. Not going to happen!
4 Jimmie is running for the Championship and there is no way Lowe's or HMS is even going to consider letting Jimmie partake in any other events during the Chase. The risk is to high vs. the reward Jimmie could get for doing any outside activities. Chad Knaus probably has to fluff Jimmie's toilet seat, so that Jimmie does not hurt his ass sitting and pushing right now!

Now maybe, and this is a far maybe. Jimmie has said he would like to try a CORR truck again some day. I know the Baldwins have a truck that they have used for special guests, like Robby, MacGrath, Ricky Johnson and others. Maybe Robby has spoke with Jimmie and the Baldwins about getting Jimmie in one of those trucks. Or maybe Robby has offered up his CORR truck to Jimmie for a race. This would be way more believable then JJ doing Baja.

Jimmy was left in the desert for a reason, he won't be in the TT for the Baja 1000.

Rick would never sign off on it, and I don't think Jimmy would want to get that pretty white drivers suit dirty either.

One thing happened in CORR for JJ.

Rod Millen, Herzog, a bad ass engine and No Real Competion.

Now that I have stopped laughing about JJ racing in the desert let me say that it will NEVER EVER happen.

The last time Jimmy was behind the wheel of a desert truck he was left in the desert by his own crew. You might see him run a CORR race if the exposure was right and the timing was right....like in about 10-15 years when his NASCAR career starts to wind down.....even then I doubt it...........

.....He still has nightmares of Mercedes Gonzales kicking his butt from the MTEG days!

BJ Baldwin told me the Baja is only 635 miles this year, I didn't know that (but I guess most of you did) and that he was sure JJ could do that but does it make sense for him to do it?? As for the Dakar, Robby hasn't asked him back but he doesn't seem all the upset if he isn't asked back.

If anybody from the Johnson family should get anywhere near a RGM desert missile it should be his father not Jimmie"Piss my Pants".
On that note, If anyone is worth putting in the truck "for fun", team up Baja Bob and Parnelli along with Scoop Vessels and let them take turns teaching some of these so called TT drivers how to do it!
