Any NASCAR fans on here?

It was posted last night at 11 PB, I think, since its summer my days have been running together and I cant remember. Anyway Dale Jr has decided to race for Hendrick Motorsports and team up with Gordon (eww) and Johnson (not so bad) and all I can say is that his father probably rolled over in his grave last night.

Like someone mentioned previously I am partially biased to Hendrick Motorsports considering I work at Lowes and have invested a few dollars in that place. So all in all I am glad to see Jr on the side of the winning team (I still strongly dislike Jeff though) this will give him a chance to prove himself on his own.

Another thing I have been hearing today is that Jr should be back in the BUD car around 2009. His mother signed a contract with them and since she has it, Jr cant really use it right now. So expect him to be cruising around in the number 8 Kellogs Car

I don't think Sr. rolled in his grave. Hendrick and Sr. go back a ways. While I am not a fan of Gordon or Johnson, I am willing to give this a try. I thought Budweiser was in negations with Jr. since their contract expired at the end of this season..I could be wrong.

Ehh....I heard his Mother had the contract with Bud (you know for the team), but again that is only hearsay, I have no clue on any factual stuff. I was talking more of Sr rolling over due to him racing with Gordon not so much about Hendrick.

Ah...got ya. Sr. and Gordon had business deals and were not that unfriendly to each other. But as a Jr. fan..I totally see where you are coming from. It is just hard to accept the truth....he and Gordon are going to be *gasp* team-mates...

Anyone have any opinons on Jeff's and Jimmie's penalty? I thought it was a little excessive.

Also I think it was a mistake letting Kyle go. Jr. is a good driver, I just think Kyle has a lot of untapped raw talent. Right now he's very immature and reckless, but I can see the talent and I just think once he matures he will be awesome. Better than Jr. Well, I think he's better than Jr. right now, he's just young that's all. Jr. is way overrated.

I think it was fine. Same as Jr.'s.

Can't agree at all. Jr. will be phenomenal with top equipment, Kyle will do little with mediocre equipment.

If Kyle matures..he seems like a whiny baby to me.

Jr. has always had top notch equipment and he still has not won a championship, and with only 17 wins he's way overrated. Now that I think about it, he's winless so far this season. Kyle isn't. With the way Jr. is talked about, you would think he's won more championships and races than Richard Petty. Part of the problem has come from poor management. I don't think anyone racing in NASCAR today would be able to perform well in mediocre equipment, plus I don't think Kyle would be dumb enough to sign with a mediocre team. I think that was a bad decision to let KB go. That kid can drive, he just has some growing up to do.
