yes, i am.
why is it that a lot of DALE sr.and jr.so called fans act like a bunch of ignorant
hillbillies? i'm talking about JG paying respect to sr. the way he did sat. nite.
i also saw some moron throw a bottle or can at JG,s car again after the race.
okey that was my nascar spew for the week.
well, as a JG fan i've been very happy the last couple of weeks and this year in general. i feel a 5th championship coming.
as far as nascar and tony. nascar crossed the line with what they did.
tony did not just come up with the phantom caution thing and he's not the only driver talking about it. it's talked about almost weekly on wind tunnel.
has nascar ever come out with a statement saying that there is no fake cautions? or did i just miss it?
nascar needs tony more than tony needs nascar. there is no other driver right now that has the personality and will speak what he really thinks know matter if it make nascar mad or not. that's a good thing!
the morons and dumb asses where out in force again this last weekend!

ANd it's official, Dale Earnhardt Jr, will not return to DEI in 2008. HE doesn't know who he will drive for next year.
I knew it was coming and yet it's so very sad.
He said he'll drive for Chevy so that means Hendrick (who doesn't have a ride open), RCR, or Gibbs.
He said he never wants to change teams again so that would lead one to believe he might head over to RCR since he's said that he might like to run the 3 towards the end of his career.
On the other hand, he's also said that he doesn't want to run in his Daddy's shadow any longer and the Universe knows he'll be in Daddy's shadow big time at RCR. Furthermore, he and Tony Stewart are known buds and damn fine partners on restrictor plate tracks. Denny Hamlin is one of Jr's proteges. Gibbs has a ride open and seems like a real nice fit. And it's not just because I want to see my two favorite drivers on the same team.
This is just so big. What he must be going through right now is unimaginable. Leaving his daddy's company. I know he never thought he'd do it. Teresa is not, I think, taking DEI where Sr wanted it to go. JMHO.
Sad.

Theresa, in my humble opinion..is a major bitch...Dale Jr. belongs with that company...he shouldn't have had to leave..damn it is sad indeed..i mean the company bears his name..he is Dale Earnhardt now...ah welll business is a bitch...
here's my take
i don't think jr has left DEI for good. both Richard and kyle petty left petty enterpirse and came back.
budweiser has a contract with DEI though 08 and i've heard that vista might be interested in jr. if that's the case. i'm going to go with Gibbs over RCR.
also there's a new comer to nascar.(i can't think of his name right now) but he is interested also.
don't count out jr changing from chevy if the right deal comes.
Ray Everham is going to talk to jr too.

One thing I'm SURE about is JR will not drive anything but a Chevy. I had heard about the VISA thing so, yes, if they come on board JR could end up at Gibbs. I hope that happens. The Bud contract through 2008 is with JR, not DEI, I believe.
The newcomer you're thinking of is, I think, Ginn Racing. That's who Mark Martin is driving for most of the time this year and they're running Hendrick engines and as we've seen, they're doing quite well. My brother thinks Ginn is a good contender.
I don't think he'll go back to DEI unless Teresa meets an untimely end - like if a house falls on her during a tornado 😛
Meanwhile- Wednesday at 7pm on Speed- a special edition of Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain debating who's better? The Wonder Boy or The Intimidator? I can't believe they're scheduling 90 minutes for this. Clearly the Intimidator is da man, right Jeff?

here's another scenario that was talked about on wind tunnel.
kyle bush gets bumped over to ginn racing and jr gets in the 5
jeff,jimmie and jr. what a dream team?
jr and tony would be a good fit too.
with all do respect JG is da man!
What a great race yesterday. I love fuel mileage finishes. The last 6 laps I barely was breathing. Congrats to Casey on his first win and to Yeley for his best finish ever. AND KYLE PETTY- WOOH! I was pulling for him to win but 3rd really rocks.
On to Dover with the COT.

i have agree it was a great race.
another HMS victory. JG took a big hit but still has the point lead.
did anyone else hear the Jack Rouch whine about the chevy guys testing the COT car?
COT will going full time next year.
JR is signing with MWMS next year because he wants sundays off

Congrats to Martin Truex on his win at Dover, but it is a bittersweet victory as Bill France Jr. passed away at age 74: http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/06/04/bfrancejr.dies.obit/index.html

yes, bill will be missed. he took his dads vision of nascar and took that the level it has gotten too. i just hope Brian France can do half the job his dad and grandfather did.
congrats to martin Truex for the win.
also to micky for making the race
lk70 said:
couldn't agree more with you on that. lk.
wish Hendrick would bump little brother too and make room for jr.
it sounds like ether Hendrick or Gibbs if you lesson to jeff H. or DW.
remember, this month is JG,s baby watch. (big daddy,as DW likes to call him)
