I've got the show on right now!
I'm interested in seeing how Toyota fares this year - proven drivers paired with a largely unproven manufacturer.
Of course, I don't know a whole lot as this is only my second year watching NASCAR. Last year, my roommates convinced me to join their fanatasy NASCAR league and I did ok all things considered. Last year there were only three if us in the league; this year, we've got nine and they're all experienced NASCAR fans. I'm going to get spanked!

I'm probably more concerned about Tony Stewart's hair as I am about anything else.

I watched it. Jeff didn't get it this year. Kyle had the best car and I was hoping he would win since he's going to be my new driver when Jeff retires.

Honestly, I can't decide. The longer is more redneck looking, but when he had it shorter, I think his face looks puffier.
I'm not sure if this hair drama kept him from winning, but I intend to follow his performance as related to his hair length.

This weekend is Martinsville. Gordon won there 7 times. I'm hoping he gets 8 this weekend.
I was so mad when I watched this race last year. I can't stand Jimmie Johnson.

Kasey has won two weeks in a row! Yea for the cute guy!
Also Kyle is looking very impressive! If he keeps this up, I can see him winning the "I have no idea what they call it anymore because they change it all the time, but it used to be the Winston" cup!
I really want Jr to win a race! However, I was not happy with all the rules he broke in the pits. It seem like he was the kid your elementary class who broke all the rules and was aware of the consequences, but then cried with they were too much!!!

I just wanted to bump this thread for a minute. For you NASCAR fans go back and look at some of the debates I had with Dale Jr. fans and how they felt that Kyle Busch sucked on this thread. They said that Jr. is the man like many people feel about him. How is he the man with only 18 wins in 10 seasons and 0 championships? Back then, I said Kyle Busch is going to be the man. My words. What happened? He's got 8 wins this season. I also mentioned that he would win a championship before Jr. What's about to happen? He'll get it. As far as I'm concerened Jr. sucks. He lives off of his dad's legacy and is too weak of a driver to create one of his own. I'll bet Rick Hendrick is kicking himself for letting Kyle go for Jr. One thing I can say is Hendrick didn't pick Jr. for owners points. Last but not least. The same joker I was debating with about Kyle vs. Jr. told me that my driver (Jeff Gordon) can't do what Jr. can do behind the wheel of a stock car. Please. With 81 wins, 3 Daytona 500 wins, 9 road coarse wins, 7 Martinsville wins, a win at every track except for two, 4 championships (technically six) 6th in all time wins, the only driver to tie Richard Petty in wins in one season in the modern era, and more money won than any driver in NASCAR history and he can't do what lame Dale Jr. can do in a sock car?
Uh..yeah ok.
Folks. I know NASCAR. Trust me, Jr. will never win a championship. That dude sucks.

Not a NASCAR fan after what they did to Tim Richmond.

I had to look him up. It's an interesting and sad story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Richmond
I doubt it would play out the same way today, despite what people say about NASCAR fans being backwards.

He was very different than most NASCAR drivers. He grew up about 15 miles from me, but attended Prep School in Florida. Lets just say that NASCAR wasn't ready for him. He would have been better to stay in Indy Car.
It was sad what happened, and you are right about it playing out different today. I knew one of the women "friends" who mysteriously died of Leukemia in 1989. A lot of us are pretty sure what the truth is, but her parents have yet to admit the read reason for her death.
Also, many people still doubt the stories told from his ex-fiance. The timeline just doesn't add up that he could have infected her.

Want a cookie? Seriously. I know NASCAR as well and I think someday Jr. will win a championship. It probably won't be this year, but I believe someday it will happen.

No thanks I already ate.
How well do you know NASCAR? Lets chat. You and me.
Why do you think he'll win a championship other than the fact that he has Earnhardt as his last name? Give me one good reason that I can't counter. Seriously, you jokers praise that dude like he won 50 championships.
I also think you might be one of the same jokers that said Kyle doesn't compare to Jr. I could be wrong, but I think you said it. I'll have to go back and look at the old posts.
You're right. He won't win a championship this year and he won't win it next year or the year after that. You want to know why? Because he's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overrated. That's why. You're one of those Jr. fans who likes the last name and not the skill level, because as far as I'm concerned he has no skills. You keep dreamin'.
ETA: If he is going to win a championship, he'd better do it quick. That dude will be 34 in October. NASCAR drivers are retiring younger these days. The sport is nothing like it used to be. Also for you Jr. fans, please don't compare Jr. to Gordon. That's insulting.

He had a lot of women though. I'm not sure how true that is, but that's how they say he got AIDS. He was one of those guys who didn't know much about the car or the set up, but he could drive his ass off. He was a good driver though. They tried to say the movie "Days of Thunder" was about Tim.
Benzgirl I read that you used to race cars. Mercedes. Do you ever watch DTM racing with Mecedes, Audi, and Opel? Alfa Romeo used to race in that series, but not anymore. I haven't watched that kind of racing since Alfa Romeo was competing in it. I love that kind of racing though. That, rally cars, and Australian V8 supercars. Formula One is cool too. Louis Hamilton is one of the best I've seen in that sport.

NASCAR!!!!!!!!!!! It stands for Non Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks!!! I'm surprised the drivers have teeth and wear shoes.
I can't see how anyone can watch a bunch of hillbillies driving around and around in traffic.
Booooooooring!
