No.

Don't worry Jimmie will be back.

Either that or he ran out of talent.

Knaus signs extension through 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Associated Press

INDIANPOLIS -- After a rocky 18 months in which he was suspended for cheating, Chad Knaus is staying put.

The crew chief for series leader Jimmie Johnson signed a contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports through 2010. The move was announced Saturday and mirrors the team's recent agreements with Johnson and sponsor Lowe's.

Knaus has been Johnson's crew chief since the driver came to NASCAR's top stock car series as a rookie in 2001. In their first four seasons together, the No. 48 Chevrolet has finished no worse than fifth in the points and has twice been the series runner-up.

"I'm proud to have been with Jimmie and the Lowe's team since the beginning," Knaus said. "I think we've proven ourselves, but there's still more to accomplish and I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Knaus, who was in the final year of his contract, is considered one of NASCAR's more aggressive and creative crew chiefs and has been fined numerous times for infractions. He was suspended two races last season when Johnson's car failed inspection following a victory in Las Vegas. But Knaus appealed and the suspension was reduced to probation.

At this year's opener, Knaus was ejected from the track after inspectors found he had made improper modifications to Johnson's car during Daytona 500 preparations. He missed that race, which Johnson won, and was later suspended for three more races, fined $25,000 and placed on probation for the rest of 2006.

"Sometimes you just push too hard," Knaus said after returning to work at Bristol. "There are procedures that you follow in our industry, as a competitor you try to evolve with that and try to find an advantage on your competition. That is what I did and they didn't like it. So I watched on TV for a while and read the papers."

Falls out of the chase.

Classy Classy

Are you talking about Ragin?

Wrecks again. He is out of the top 10 now.

cool everybody is back!!

did everybody go. Did you guys just get tired of watching Jimmie dominate?

So we will still be better than the rangers!!!

Now get Elias signed.

Langenbrunner signs multiyear deal with Devils

The New Jersey Devils have locked up one of their big free agents.

Forward Jamie Langenbrunner reached a new deal with the Devils just before Saturday's start to the free agency period, the team said Saturday.

Langenbrunner, 30, had 19 goalks and a career-high 34 assists for the Devils in 2005-06 and added 3 goals and 10 assists in the playoffs.

The Devils did not release contract details. But according to TSN and Sportsnet, the deal is reportedly for five years, paying Langenbrunner $2.8 million annually.

I still don't think he has a chance against Stewart and Johnson, but I can only hope...

At least you understand that Jr has NO chance.

Nice job today.

Only 9 spots behind Jimmie.

Go Jimmie!!!!

Nice day for the 48!!

Rick better resign Chad. Losing him would be a big mistake!!

Are they? The results say..... no.

Yeah, they'll be back..... to the golf course.

We still will not be able to beat the Rangers at golf. They always get more time to play than the Devils!!

I thought you were not supposed to post in the Devils forum until the Rangers won a playoff game. I guess you realized that may never happen.

I really could not care less how many people go to Devils games. When I was in NJ it was good that they did nor sellout so I was albe to get tickets when I wanted to go. Now that I'm not going anyway it really makes no difference. I guess when all you have is the bad hockey the Rangers put on the ice you have to find something other than the hockey to be proud of.

C'mon Panther.... nothing at all to contribute?

 

Kinda like the Devils "Wonder Boys" Gionta, Gomez & Co; you just gotta "wonder" where they are, what they are doing, ect.

 

All your bs is real funny but it just shows how bad your team is. If the Canes get beat next round should I go make fun of Canes fans or will that make me look like a moron?

0 @ MSG!

We suck but what does that say about the team we just swept???

Ouch. Can we play the Rangers again!!
