Yeley frustrated and fed up

| | Comments (0) |

J.J. Yeley finished last in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, his worst finish of the year. But the result in the race was no fault of Yeley's.
He was collected in a crash early in the race and did not return.
What started as a promising year is turning into a frustrating one for Yeley.
“This year, the last four or five races, we’ve not gotten the finishes we’ve needed," said Yeley, driver of the No. 18 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing. "Things have definitely turned around overall from last year, even though it was frustrating at Texas to get taken out by someone trying too hard early in the race. But overall this season, the cars are a lot better. We’re having a lot of fun and I’m being more aggressive on the race track."
Yeley said he is getting a little fed up with the way other drivers treat him during races.
"I’m at the point where I’m not going to take it anymore from some of the guys out there who don’t want to race me clean or use their heads," Yeley said. "I’m getting sick of being pushed around, and I’m tired of other drivers around me not racing smart. I’ve been doing a better job of being more aggressive. At Martinsville, I thought there were times where someone would give a little bit but they didn’t, so that’s getting a little frustrating. There’s a point in time for all of that."
