By Michael Johnson
michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com
GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Health System has a
new permanent chief executive officer.
Dr. Michael Canady, who has been serving as
interim CEO since late September, was the unanimous choice of the Holzer Board of Directors in
a decision that was made Oct. 26 and announced
Tuesday morning via a press release.
“Dr. Canady is a dedicated physician and an
excellent choice to lead the future of the organization,” Brent Saunders, Holzer’s
chairman of the board, said in a
press release. “Dr. Canady has over
20 years of service with Holzer, and
his leadership experience made him
the ideal choice. We look forward to
working with him toward achieving
our vision and a brighter future for
Dr. Canady
Holzer.”
Canady takes over for Dr. Christopher O. Meyer, who was terminated as Holzer’s
CEO on Sept. 23 because of “differences related
to the direction of the organization.” Meyer had
served as CEO for approximately 21 months.
According to a press release issued Tuesday,
Canady joined Holzer Health System in 1995 after
serving four years in the U.S. Navy. He graduated

Judge DeWine spreads ‘letter of law’ message
By Dean Wright
deanwright@civitasmedia.com
GALLIPOLIS — Ohio
First District Court
of Appeals Judge Pat
DeWine toured southern
Ohio as he made stops
Monday to spread the
message of his campaign
for a spot on the Ohio
Supreme Court.
He also was in the area
to spread his view of justice as a “constitutional
conservative.”
“My judicial philosophy is someone who calls
himself a constitutional
conservative,” DeWine
said. “I believe that
judges should apply
the law as written and
shouldn’t be legislating
from the bench. I think if
we do that, we create an
environment in this state
where there is a stable,
predictable legal backdrop so people can invest
in the state, people can
create jobs and people
find opportunities in the
state. I have extensive
judicial experience on
the court of appeals, but
I’ve also been a common
Courtesy photo
Ohio’s First District Court of
Appeals Judge Pat DeWine
pleas court judge, so I
understand how things
really work in the trial
court.”
DeWine said he had
tried everything from
low-level felonies to
death penalty and civil
cases. He said the practical experience of being
a trial judge will aid him
on the Ohio Supreme
Court.
While serving as
First District Court of
Appeals judge, DeWine
has been based out of
Cincinnati. He is also an
adjunct professor at the
University of Cincinnati
in its College of Law and
the McMicken College
of Arts and Sciences.
He worked for 13 years
practicing law with the
Keating, Muething and
Klekamp law firm. He
graduated as part of the
top 10 percent of his
class from the University of Michigan Law
School and earned his
undergraduate at Miami
University.
DeWine has also
served on the Hamilton
County Board of Commissioners and the Cincinnati City Council.
“When I got out of law
school, the first thing I
did was clerk for a judge
on the (federal) Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals,
” he said. “I left there
knowing that if I ever
had I chance that I would
like to be a judge at some
point.
“You want thoughtful
people on the (Ohio)
Supreme Court, of
course,” DeWine added.
“I think judges have to
be careful what their
constitutional role is.
That is to apply the law
and interpret the law,
not make the law. I think
sometimes when judges
become philosopher legislators, that is dangerous for our democratic
system.”
DeWine said it is
important to apply the
letter of the law and not
so much the spirit of the
law.
“Really, at the end of
the day, you don’t know
what they (legislators)
meant other than what
they actually agreed on
and what they said (in
the written word), ” he
said. “I often apply laws
that I don’t agree with
or think could be better
or I would do differently.
I’m not a policymaker,
though, and don’t think
judges should be policymakers. I think judges
need to stick to what the
law says.”
DeWine is competing
against 11th District
Court of Appeals Judge
Cynthia Rice for a seat
on the Ohio Supreme
Court.

MCCPC observes Red Ribbon Week
By Kalei Edenfield
Contributing writer
Meigs County Community Prevention Coalition is back and is your
resource for all drug prevention and education in
your community.
Once a month, the
MCCPC will meet at
the courthouse planning
drug education events,
discussing the epidemic,
and making sure we are
working as a unit in prevention. This coalition is
open to any community
member, educator or
official that is interested
in helping work towards
a more drug-free county.
The next Meigs County
Community Prevention
Coalition will be Nov. 16,
2:30 p.m. at the juvenile
court. Be sure to find
MCCPC on Facebook to
stay up-to-date on events
and information relating
drugs in Meigs.
The MCCPC is also
proud to recognize that
this past week students,
teachers and administrations celebrated living a drug-free life by
observing Red Ribbon
Week. The Red Ribbon
Campaign was created
as a way for communities to unite in solidarity
and show their support
against drugs. The
National Family Partnership started the campaign
in 1985 and it has since
blossomed into an interactive week for students,
that 80 million take part
in around the country.
Most schools, here
in Meigs County, participated in the week long
celebration with themed
days, drug education
and even some visits
from Rockin’ Reggie.
Red Ribbon week is a
perfect opportunity to
elicit open-and-honest
conversations with your
children about drugs and
alcohol.

Democratic, GOP senators call for post-vote healing
CINCINNATI — The country
needs to heal after the divisive
2016 political campaign, regardless of who wins the presidential
election or which party controls
the Senate, both of Ohio’s U.S.
senators said Tuesday.
Democrat Sherrod Brown and
Republican Rob Portman also
said they expect the Senate to
move forward on confirming a
new Supreme Court justice no
matter who’s in the White House.
“We need to heal a divided
country,” said Portman, following remarks he made at a conference highlighting the impact
of the addictions epidemic on
children.
“Regardless of who wins this
election we need to figure out
how to bring our country back
together and solve the big problems we face,” he said.
It’s up to the winner of the
presidential race to help in the
healing, “but the loser needs to
at least play it straight and say,
‘It was a fair election,’ ” said
Brown, who said he believes Hillary Clinton will win the presidency. Brown attended the same
addictions conference.

Why endorsing
Trump is an oddity
Meigs health department
provides valuable services
By Gary Abernathy
gabernathy@civitasmedia.com
In case you missed it, The (Hillsboro) Times-Gazette
made national news with our endorsement of Donald
Trump for president.
First, Politico magazine called asking about the endorsement. Then I started receiving emails and messages that
we were mentioned by Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC
show as one of just six, at the time, newspapers in the
nation that had endorsed Trump. Next, someone forwarded me a link to a blog of a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter
who, picking up on the Politico article, noted that The
Times-Gazette was the only newspaper in Ohio to endorse
Trump.
Wow. If any additional proof was needed of just how far
left the national media has veered, it’s provided by the fact
that a small-town newspaper’s endorsement of the Republican nominee for president is considered something worthy of statewide and national attention.
Our endorsement of Trump was all of two sentences.
But the eagle-eyed supporters of Hillary Clinton are scouring publications nationwide to ridicule anyone not lining
up properly.
Much has been made this year of the number of traditionally right-leaning newspapers that have endorsed Clinton, or at least decided not to endorse at all rather than
recommend Donald Trump. Frankly, in most cases this
development has more to do with corporate edicts handed
down to the local papers they own than with decisions
being made by local editors — although in an increasing
number of cases, “local editors” are no longer local. They
ain’t from around here, so to speak.
This is not speculation. I know editors who work for
the companies in question, and they have long privately
shared their frustration about the heavy-handed editorial
directives they receive from on high on a weekly basis,
without regard to whether the political leanings of the
communities they serve are properly reflected in the editorials they publish.
A thoughtful blog post by a reporter who recently
worked for a metro paper owned by one of the biggest
newspaper conglomerates made several points about
today’s staffing of newspapers by editors and reporters
from elsewhere, and the ideology handed down from
the top. I won’t identify the specific publication he is
referencing because I don’t want to make a habit of criticizing other newspapers by name aside from The New
York Times and Washington Post, which I criticize freely
because they have destroyed from within what were once
venerated institutions.
The reporter, Ben Liebing, wrote, “There’s also nothing wrong with being a non-native. Sometimes it lends
invaluable outside perspective. This can be good. What it
guarantees, however, is an incomplete understanding of
local colloquialism, culture, ideology, and — most of all —
history.”
He added that even at the most conservative of newspapers, supporting Hillary Clinton was considered a given
in this election, with top editors openly cheerleading for
her candidacy, effectively quelling opposing voices. “While
working there, few talked politics overtly. Job security and
the servile timidity that accompanies political correctness
kept any would-be dissenters in line,” he wrote.
Liebing noted, “But the general tenor of the newsroom
was clear, and writers were both edited and expected to
march in tune.” He added, “The bottom line is that the
city’s oldest news source has lost touch with the town on
which it once reported.”
And so it is in this atmosphere that newspapers that
dare to endorse Donald Trump for president are held up
to scrutiny by other media outlets, with editorial support for the GOP nominee considered as much of an
anachronism as transistor radios. With that in mind, I’m
grateful that The Times-Gazette’s owners — Civitas Media
— have never dictated editorial directions, leaving those
decisions to local newsrooms whose staffers live and work
in our local communities.
Make no mistake, it is not just a candidate like Donald
Trump who, going forward, will not receive the backing
of most newspapers. In truth, no Republican candidate for
president will receive more than a few scattered endorsements in the years to come, considering the growing
ownership consolidation of metro newspapers and the dictates of their overwhelmingly left-wing, centralized home
offices, regardless of the political demographics of the
regions served by their individual publications.
It is an understatement to acknowledge that Donald
Trump is an imperfect candidate. But his opponent is even
more seriously flawed, in ways that go far beyond political
incorrectness or merely being boorish and rude. The FBI’s
reopening of its examination of her email carelessness
– with sensitive emails now apparently showing up on
devices controlled by the sexting voyeur Anthony Weiner
– should, under normal circumstances, seal her defeat.
But this year’s election is not a normal circumstance.
Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton’s obvious disregard for
the importance of national security, her cavalier attitude
toward subpoenas and congressional hearings, her contempt for the “basket of deplorables” who have the temerity to support someone other than herself, and her and
her husband’s lifelong pursuit of financial advancement
regardless of the questionable country that contributes to
it are actions which make it much more embarrassing for
newspapers that have endorsed her than those who have
endorsed someone other than her.
As of this writing, polling averages show a race that
is virtually tied. Roughly half the electorate is voting for
Trump. How unfortunate that 99 percent of the endorsements from the nation’s newspapers represent the political
leanings of only the other half of the population. And they
wonder why so many metropolitan newspapers are struggling.
Dear Editor:
As the chairperson of the Meigs County Cancer
Initiative, I learn about many of the people who are
diagnosed with cancer and who need or are receiving
cancer treatments.
I think most of us know the confusion, concern,
expense and need for assistance that people face
when they are diagnosed. The MCCI members are
volunteers who help as much as possible. Meigs
County Health Department’s administrator, Courtney
Midkiff, is a longtime MCCI member and she is also
a concerned and supportive professional. The health
department staff networks to meet the needs of its
constituency and you can depend on them always
being able to point the individual in need in the right
direction.
MCCI meetings are held monthly in the health
department conference room the first Monday of the
month. Courtney, thankfully, administers MCCI’s
transportation assistance program as part of her
duties for the convenience of local cancer patients.
She networks with other agencies personnel to ensure
all needs that can be met are being met. The health
department assists in addressing needs and gaps in
medical coverage for members of the community as
they arise.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to physically observe
prevention and preventive measures. But that is
exactly what the health department enables the staff
to provide. The health department provides education
that enhances the ability of individuals and groups to
make healthy personal choices reducing chronic disease symptoms and preventing further progression of
many symptoms.
With less staff than what is needed for optimum
care, the health department staff still provide resources to individuals and families including those with a
cancer diagnosis.
I know the health department is a necessary service
for our community. And who of us can provide the
same services for less money now days. In essence,
that is what will happen if a levy is not replaced at
today’s expenses. The levy is a bargain for the many
ways that the health department serves the community. I urge you all to vote yes for the replacement levy
and continue excellent public health services in Meigs
County.
proud to have fighting for us.
I hope everyone will join me in voting for Jay
Edwards for state representative.

Edwards uses common
sense to solve problems
Dear Editor,
If I had to describe state representative candidate
Jay Edwards in one word, I would say “impressive.”
Jay has a strong work ethic and will be tireless
advocate for our area. He was born and raised in
southeast Ohio and understands our region. That’s
important.
I also like Jay’s common sense approach to solving problems: Democrats and Republicans working
together to solve problems for Southeast Ohio, not
Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for
Southeast Ohio’s problems. We need less politics and
more problem solving from the people we elect to
represent us.
And speaking of representing us, I like how Jay
takes time to actually listen to what people have to
say. That’s important and it’s the mark of a good
leader. How can someone possibly represent us if they
don’t take the time to listen to us?
Jay Edwards is the right choice for state representative and I am proud to say I will be voting for him. I
hope you will too.

People often ask me, “Jay, what are the top issues
you hear about when you are talking with voters?”
Jobs, education, the heroin crisis — no surprise
they come up frequently, as they should, they’re some

theme on these and a host of other issues is a general

Parsons competes in D2 regional CC meet
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
Paul Boggs/OVP Sports
Meigs senior James Parsons competes in the boys high school race as part of
the Tri-Valley Conference championship cross country meet.
PICKERINGTON, Ohio —
The Gallia Academy Blue Devils and Blue Angels competed
as teams, and both River Valley
and Meigs were represented
by an individual boys runner,
as part of Saturday’s Division
II regional cross country meet
at Pickerington North High
School.
With the top six teams in
both boys and girls, and the
top 24 finishers in both races
advancing to the state meet,
neither Gallia Academy club
— featuring seven runners on
each — qualified as a team or
advanced any individuals.
The Blue Devils finished
17th out of 20 total teams,
earning a team score of 346
— and edging out John Glenn
(347) by a single point.
Marietta was 19th with a
389, followed by North Union
with a 403.
Heath, with a team score of
103, was the boys squad champion — as there were 161 runners in the Division II race.
Three Blue Devils — senior
Kaleb Crisenbery (40th in
17:36), junior Caleb Greenlee
(44th in 17:38) and junior Kyle
Greenlee (62nd in 17:52) — all
finished from 40th thru 62nd,
while the other four runners
all crossed between 124th and
161st.
Rounding out the Blue and
White were senior Devon
Barnes (124th in 19:04), junior
Ezra Blain (144th in 19:35),
junior Kobe Cochran (157th in
20:29) and junior Ethan Rider
(161st in 21:23).
Individually, River Valley
junior Nathaniel Abbott almost
qualified for the state — as he
placed 27th in 17 minutes and
16 seconds.
Abbott only missed making
it by three single spots, as the
24th-fastest time belonged to
Sheridan junior Kyle Clellan
(17:08).
Meigs senior James Parsons
also competed as an individual,
and completed the 5K course in
17:58 (74th overall).
Zach Kreft of Buckeye Valley,
in a fast 15 minutes and 29 seconds, was the individual race
winner.

Despite offensive
woes, Meyer
sees positives
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After blowing away
opponents in the first four games, Ohio State’s
plummet has included offensive woes, an upset by
unranked Penn State and a narrow escape against
three-touchdown underdog Northwestern at home
last week.
Coach Urban Meyer has taken to calling the
team a “project” and “a work in progress,” as if to
reset expectations that soared in the first month
of the season, when quarterback J.T. Barrett was
breaking school passing records and new ballhawking stars were emerging on defense.
The No. 6 Buckeyes (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) will need
to improve to get through the rest of their schedule unscathed — especially Saturday night against
No. 9 Nebraska (7-1, 4-1) and the annual seasonending tussle with No. 2 Michigan.
The offensive line has struggled to protect Barrett at times, and receivers aren’t consistently
getting open downfield. Game-changing deep balls
are few and far between. The defense is allowing
big gains.
But Meyer and team leaders insist the Buckeyes
haven’t gotten off track, that the stumbles are
natural growing pains for a squad that returned
just six starters from last year.
“I guess I’m not normally like this, but I see a lot
of positives from our team because I know what
we’re playing and I know these young guys, and
they are getting better because I see it from maybe
a different angle (and) viewpoint than a lot of
other people,” Meyer said Monday.
“I like the fact that you get in a street fight and
you win it,” he said, referring to the Northwestern game, which was in doubt until the Buckeyes
mounted a clock-eating drive to finish it off, 24-20.
“And that’s a good sign the future’s very bright
here. You’ve got a bunch of young cats going and
swinging hard and practicing hard.”
Barrett has contended all along that there’s
nothing wrong with his unit.
“I don’t think (we’ve) regressed by any means,”
said Barrett, who threw for 223 yards against
Northwestern but didn’t complete a pass over 19
yards until the fourth quarter.
“We like scoring fast and things like that, but
there’s not a problem with a 10-play drive, either,
that ends on a touchdown,” Barrett said. “So as
long as we’re scoring I really don’t have a problem.
… We always want to progress and get better, but I

Steelers QB
Roethlisberger
practices in
limited capacity
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger practiced in a
limited capacity on Monday, just two weeks after
undergoing surgery to repair the meniscus in his
left knee.
Whether Roethlisberger is healthy enough to
start under center when the Steelers visit their
rival Baltimore Ravens on Sunday remains to be
seen.
Still, Roethlisberger, who did not speak to
reporters after practice, was initially expected to
miss 4 to 6 weeks following the surgery, but he
could return earlier than expected.
“We always talk about the next man up, but you
can’t replace Ben Roethlisberger,” offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert said. “He’s one of the greatest. He’s our leader.”
Teammates confirmed that Roethlisberger practiced some with the first team and scout team on
Monday. He also participated in 7-on-7 drills and
ran the no-huddle offense during the team’s competition period.
“From what I saw, it was very encouraging,” Gilbert said. “He threw the ball and he moved around
in the pocket pretty good. It’s just a matter if he’s
game ready and if he’s willing and able to take
those hits because (the Ravens) will be coming
and he has to do what’s in his best interest so he
doesn’t have any setbacks.”
If Roethlisberger can’t go, fourth-year veteran
Landry Jones is likely to start. Jones finished 29
of 47 for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception during a loss against New England.
“Landry did a great job,” wide receiver Markus
Wheaton said. “No disrespect to Landry, but Ben’s
our guy. It was exciting to see him get out there
and sling it a little bit.”
Still, several teammates indicated they would
like to see Roethlisberger return on Sunday only if
he’s 100 percent healthy.
“We want him back, but at the same time, I
don’t want him to be playing through a lot of
pain,” running back Le’Veon Bell said. “It depends
on how he feels during the course of the week, but
I don’t want him to rush back.
“We have a long season ahead and we’re going
to need him down the stretch. I’m sure he’ll be
smart about it.”
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is expected to
provide an update on Tuesday. The team doesn’t
have to provide an official injury report until after
Wednesday’s practice, but teammates were encouraged to see Roethlisberger practice on Monday.
“As a leader on this team, and a guy coming
off surgery like that, to come out and practice
is huge,” center Maurkice Pouncey said. “It just
shows his willingness to win and how much he
cares about this team and the organization.
“I know all the guys around here appreciate
that.”
Roethlisberger injured his left knee during a
loss against Miami. He underwent surgery the following day and missed a home loss against New
England the next Sunday, though he jogged onto
the field to greet his defensive teammates and was
spotted walking in the locker room without a limp.

Lady Falcons fall to Ravenswood in opener
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
RAVENSWOOD, W.Va.
— So much for momentum.
Despite winning its
final two regular season
matches, the Wahama
volleyball team fell in its
postseason opener, as
host Ravenswood claimed
a 3-0 victory in the Class
A, Region IV, Section 1
opening round.
The Lady Falcons
(2-21) — which will need
to get back in the win
column on Tuesday in
order to avoid elimination
— jumped out to a 6-3
lead in the opening game.
Ravenswood (34-17) took
the lead at 8-7 and never
trailed again on its way to
a 25-14 victory.
The Red Devilettes led
wire-to-wire in the second
game, taking a 2-0 lead
in the match with a 25-12
victory.
Wahama scored the
first two points of the
third game, but RHS took
the next five points and
never trailed again en
route to the 25-14 win.
“We hustled probably
more than we’ve hustled
the entire year,” Wahama
head coach Matt VanMeter said. “Ravenswood is
a good team, but you take
away the silly mistakes
that have plagued us all
year, and it’s a lot closer
of a game. I didn’t think
we looked all that bad,
despite what the score
showed.”

Bengals below .500 midway through season
CINCINNATI (AP) —
A.J. Green wowed ‘em
with incredible catches
and showed the crowd in
London what everyone
back home knows — he’s
nearly impossible to
cover.
Tyler Eifert was back in
the flow, getting into the
end zone when the Bengals needed it most.
Even with all of that,
the best they could do
was tie.
Cincinnati’s first visit
to London summed up its
season on a football pitch.
Whatever worked last
season when the Bengals
won the AFC North has
somehow evaporated a
year later.
The Bengals won their
first eight games last season. Since then, they’ve
gone 7-9-1, including a
first-round playoff loss
to Pittsburgh. They’ve
slipped back into the
huge pack of mid-level
NFL teams.
A 27-27 tie with
Washington on Sunday
left them 3-4-1, the first
time they’ve had a losing record at season’s
midpoint since 2012. The
tie against Washington
especially stung, given
how many chances they
had to pull it out in both
the fourth quarter and
overtime.
“Opportunities, but
just let it slip away,” said
quarterback Andy Dalton, who fumbled away a
chance in overtime.
It’s been that way all
season.
The Bengals have
been one of the healthiest teams in the league,
which should be a big
advantage for the defending division champs.
They’ve shown flashes of
their 2015 form, and then
self-destructed with a bad
play on offense or another
defensive breakdown that
prevented them from taking control of the game.
Green and Dalton are
having solid seasons
again. Eifert, who set a
club record for tight ends
with 13 touchdown catches last season, is finally
back from ankle surgery
and putting his imprint
on the offense. He had
nine catches for 102 yards
and a touchdown in his
first significant playing
time. Green had nine
catches for 121 yards.
But the offense couldn’t
take advantage of its
opportunities in overtime, frittering away the
last one when Dalton
fumbled on a keeper. He
also had a costly interception, something rare for
him this season.
That’s not the worst of
it, though. The defense
remains subpar even
though linebacker Vontaze Burfict is back in
form after serving a
three-game suspension
from the NFL for illegal
hits. Kirk Cousins threw
for a season-high 458
yards at Wembley Stadium, and Washington
piled up 546 yards in all.
It was the third time
in the past four games
that the defense allowed
more than 400 yards. The
only team that didn’t hit
the mark was Cleveland,
which lost another quarterback and ran for 180
yards in Cincinnati’s only
win during that stretch.
The defense that gave
up the second-fewest
points in the league last
season and finished 11th
in yards allowed. It has
slipped to 24th overall
in yards allowed. If they
stay on course, it would
be their worst showing
defensively since 2007,
the year before Mike
Zimmer was hired as the
coordinator.

Nine-game NHL
Johnson not coasting into finale tryouts create
uncertainty for
young players
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Jimmie Johnson’s quest to win a
record-tying seventh championship has been burning for nearly
three years at Hendrick Motorsports. Johnson wants that title.
Chad Knaus wants that title. Rick
Hendrick wants that title.
Oh, how easy it would be for
No. 48 team to coast through the
next two weeks, to look only at
the Nov. 20 season finale and the
opportunity they have to reach
the top of NASCAR.
They won’t. This is “can’t stop,
won’t stop” time and these guys
are on a mission.
And in this year of the ho-hum
playoffs, it may be the storybook
ending NASCAR needs.
Johnson, the most celebrated
driver of the last 15 years, won
his ninth race at Martinsville
Speedway on Sunday to lock
down a spot in NASCAR’s final
four. He has not been in this
position under the elimination
format introduced before the 2014
season, when Johnson was still
celebrating his sixth title.
The drive for #Se7en — the
moniker he’s used on Twitter the
last two-plus seasons — sputtered
out early the last two years. And
even through a long stretch of this
season, Johnson hardly seemed to
be a legitimate contender as the
Hendrick cars struggled to keep
pace with Joe Gibbs Racing, Team
Penske and Kevin Harvick.
There was a period of 15 races
this year where Johnson had just
three top-five finishes. Hendrick
was far from pleased. The boss
sent his cars to the wind tunnel, became a constant sight to
his drivers and teams. Everyone
turned it up a notch, and Hendrick could see the turnaround
coming together.
“Sometimes you’re not as good
as you look, you’re not as bad as
you look,” Hendrick said. “I don’t
think we were as bad. Now, we
were pretty terrible back April,
May. We started picking up speed,
getting to the front, leading some
laps.
“I felt like we could be at Homestead, but there’s no guarantee.
There are a whole lot of people
in the garage that thought they’d
be at Homestead that won’t be at
Homestead.”
Once Johnson won at Charlotte
to advance into the third round,
the first time he had made it this
far in the Chase, he became a
sudden lock for Homestead. He’s
great at Martinsville, has won
the last four November races at
Texas, and has an average finish
of 7.8 at Phoenix. But he locked
his championship spot down in
the first race of this segment, and
now has the luxury to coast for
two weeks.
Knaus had yet to wring the
champagne out of his firesuit following Sunday’s victory before
he was already contemplating a
strategy.
“We need to now sit back, look
at our car allocation and make
sure that we’re taking the best
product that we possibly can to
Homestead,” he said. “When I get
to the shop, we’re going to get
together, look at what it is we’ve
got, we may make a quick decision, maybe make a change.”
But he cautioned that doesn’t
mean he’ll order Johnson to
cruise around Texas and Phoenix.
It means they are in such good
shape, they can play with the field
for two weeks.
This is what the No. 48 team
does to opponents. It kicks its
program into another gear and
saps all the energy out of its opponents. Jeff Gordon saw it firsthand in 2007 when he was racing
his teammate for the title. When
he thought he had Johnson on the
ropes, Johnson strung together
four consecutive victories in the
Chase to put Gordon away.
When Johnson grabbed that
fourth win, Gordon — the greatest driver of a generation — went
to victory lane and bowed to his
teammate.
His strength is in his demeanor,
and it absolutely gets under the
skin of his opponents. He’s so cool
and calm in public, tries always
to be a professional. His attempt
to extinguish a potential fire with
Harvick last year at Chicago led
Harvick to punch him in the chest

moved him and loudly complained
about Johnson on his team radio.
Asked about it after the race,
Johnson literally laughed out loud.
“I’m puzzled that he had to
move me like he did,” Johnson
said. “I just can’t roll over. I prefer
to race people cleanly. I could
have easily taken the easy route
and moved him when he came
back to take over the lead, and
I didn’t. I hope that showed him
that, ‘Look, man, I don’t have a
beef.’
“Man, I’m out there to win. We
got points on the line. We got a
championship in the line. I got
accused of racing hard? I’ll take
that as a compliment.”
Johnson has been to Homestead
nine times before with a chance
to win the title. He delivered six
times. The situation will be different this year; all drivers will be
even and the highest finisher will
claim the title.
Johnson hopes to show the next
two weeks that he’s untouchable
and nobody stands a chance in
this drive for #Se7en.
