The Elevator | Going up? That would be the Ganassi bunch
DAVID POOLE
The Charlotte Observer
Sunday, Jul. 29, 2007
Racing for the elevator and mashing the buttons:
UP - Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
Juan Pablo Montoya second and Reed Sorenson fifth makes for a solid day for this team.
DOWN - Ryan Newman
Missed a golden opportunity to move up into the top 12 in the standings with an early race wreck.
DOWN - Jimmie Johnson
It’s still not quite time for this team to panic, but it has slid seven spots in the standings - from second to ninth - in seven races.
