Any NASCAR fans on here?

Awwww..but I like Kenny. When I was at Bristol he put on a Jr. shirt in front of the Race Day crowd. It was pretty cool. Maybe some of the current Toyota drivers will be fed up with Toyota to go drive for DEI. I am sad to *possibly* see the #8 go. What number will Jr. drive? Is there still a # 08 available?

Yeah, I would hate to see the #8 go too. The only thing about Kenny that's cool is he's funny as hell. Not quite as funny as Waltrip, but he's funny. Most of these guys race just for the money. They don't care about winning. I think about maybe 10% of the drivers today race to win. Back in the day I think the percentage was much higher.

Hey, has Waltrip even qualified for a race this year. He really sucks. LOL. I think the whole Toyota team with the exception of Vickers isn't that good. Dale Jarrett doesn't count. He's just getting old. He won the Winston cup in 99, so he's had his day.

Again so true. I could see DEI reaching out to a younger driver like Vickers and even pulling at DJ to come over. Poor Mickey. I miss his after race talks where he mentions every sponsor on his car. I enjoyed that. I am just very disappointed the Jr. might be leaving. I can't wait to see what Darrell has to say about this whole situation.

DW is the funniest guy in NASCAR. I laugh everytime he's on. I remember when Ken Schrader was racing the Little Debbie car last season, and everytime he made a pass, DW was saying that Little Debbie is smiling and saying "Great job Kenny." That was funny. Yeah, I remember when Waltrip used to name all of his sponsors on his car. That was hilarious.

I agree, that would be a smart move to pull Vickers into DEI. He's a good driver.

I think the only reason why Jr. hasn't won a championship is because of Teresa. If it wasn't for her poor management I think he would have at least 2 Nextel Cups by now.

I think Gordon is doing well, but I would be surprised if he wins a Nextel Cup this season. The way they changed the the Chase format, I think Johnson will get another one. I never have been a big fan of the Chase format. Yes, it makes it more exciting, but I think it's unfair to the sponsors.

The only thing that might even possibly hurt Gordo a little bit is the birth of his little girl (I'm rooting for Victoria Lane or Talladega as a name..haha). If he misses a race or two, it could hurt him in the long run when it really comes down to point crunching time. Maybe even get the #00 in at DEI (I am not even going to attempt to spell his last name). I don't know what exactly goes on at DEI, but I agree that the car testing and engine testing have not been up to par. DW is going to get Teresa Saturday night..ooo I can't wait.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. JG will definitely miss some races. He's done. I think Daytona would be a good name for his kid. LOL.

You mean David Ruitiman. I don't know too much about him, other than the fact that he drives the 00 Dominos Toyota. If I were Teresa, I would start getting good Busch series drivers rather than Nextel Cup drivers who really aren't that great. The good Nextel drivers won't leave their teams if they're getting a good car every week. A good Busch driver would be hungry to win or run up front a lot.

[MJo19]

Yes Busch drivers. Maybe Regan Smith, Jason Leffler, or *can I throw it out* Steven Wallace..long shot at the last choice, but I don't' see the #2 at Penske opening any time soon.
