Not really surprised. I think his concussion really scared him, and with good reason. I see him as a prominent owner in the not too distant future. He's a smart kid.

Who? Does he play for the Braves or something?

Mediocre end to a mediocre driver. The drivers of old (Pearson, Petty, Bonnet, Allison, Roberts, Flock) would get a concussion on Friday night and win a race on Saturday night.
