But I don't allow that to take away from the fact that he brought me some awesome memories on the field. I'll never forget that.

The times I've met Hamlin he was very aloof and really wanted nothing to do with me. Others have told me it's that he's really arrogant. There is also a prevailing sentiment in the garages that Gibbs has put the best crew team with him because he depends on his team much more than the rest of the top drivers because he's not good enough without them. I don't know if that's true but we did see how he struggled earlier this year. I also know though that he belittles his crew team a lot. Some say it's just because he's so competitive and he wants to win so badly. Well fine, but so does everyone else out there. They could all learn from Jeff Burton quite honestly.

I bet your job is a lot of fun.
Burton is a good driver too...very respectful of others.
