Winter, I can retract my answer you can keep going at him! :)
Sorry, a little heads up and I could have fixed the results!! LOL Being a woman, that automatically makes you always right. I live in the Pocono's! yey!
Sorry I have no idea about the real answer though. Haha good luck. gordon, kurt busch
http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/sprint/sc...
u like the new name gordon/busch None of the above
1st race Jeff Gordon/Ryan Newman
2nd race Kurt Busch/Dale Jr. Jeff Gordon/Ryan Newman gordon won the "rain"-ed out version in the spring/summer, and kurt blew the doors off everyone in the fall race - starting his run for the top twelve. The 2 Pocono races last year, which order were they?
KuBusch/J.Gordon
or
J.Gordon/KuBusch
*my hubby and I are disagreeing* Gordon won in June. Busch (ick!) won in August.

kyle busch 10 Ps to the winner 1driver please
i'll pull for the principal -skinner Matt Crafton My actual pick: KB
The one I want to win: Johnny Benson. He's my fave NCTS driver. Hopefully Johnny B Good....Benson ! #1 .... Hornaday
in Top 5 ... Rowdy Bush
I WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hornaday Ron Hornaday, Johnny Benson, Ted Musgrave...they all didn't qualify that great. And Kyle is in the end of the field. I am going to go on my gut feeling and say Mike Skinner. Jack Sprague is second. SYUKKFM CMKSNMPLKMF:KSFJMNLSI{LSNDFLMF YOU AZZ Report It #88 Matt Crafton Kyle's always a good choice, but I'd go with Hornaday or Skinner. Heck even Scott Speed for a sleeper pick. Rowdy Busch =] David Starr Johnny Benson David Starr

tirey Lobonto No Kellogg 's in 1983 So no Corn Flakes sponser in 1983
Motorsports Quote from Kellogg's
Kellogg's made its first foray into auto racing in 1991-92, when the company sponsored the #41 Chevrolets fielded by Larry Hedrick Motorsports in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and driven by Phil Parsons, Dave Marcis, Greg Sacks and Hut Stricklin. But they gained greater prominence for their sponsorship of two time NASCAR Winston Cup Champion Terry Labonte from 1993 (at Billy Hagan Racing) until his retirement in 2006, and Hendrick Motorsports from 1994 until the end of 2006, initially with Labonte with both their Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes brands, including Labonte's second NASCAR Championship (1996), and his second win in a major (the 2003 Southern 500). After Labonte's retirement, the sponsor stayed when Hendrick with new driver Kyle Busch. The company has consistently reduced its sponsorship, where in 2007 it shares only the hood or the sides of the cars with co-primary sponsor Carquest Auto Parts now driven by Casey Mears. no corn flakes back then pizza man Stroker Ace. labonte drove the budweiser car that year. 1983?
hmmm...
nobody that i can find, at least not in sprint cup. No One!!!!! 1983. Best answer gets 10 points in 4 hours Terry Labonte started driving the Kellogg's car in 1993. I also don't remember seeing the Kellogg's car in any of the few replays of 1983 races that I've seen. My first response to this question would Terry Labonte, but I think that was more of the 90's Bwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha Katie kenseth you KILL me!!!
NO ONE drove the corn flakes car in 1983. Kelloggs didn't become a sponsor until 1991-92!!! when the company sponsored the #41 Chevrolets fielded by Larry Hedrick Motorsports in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and driven by Phil Parsons, Dave Marcis, Greg Sacks and Hut Stricklin. But they gained greater prominence for their sponsorship of two time NASCAR Winston Cup Champion Terry Labonte from 1993 (at Billy Hagan Racing) until his retirement in 2006, and Hendrick Motorsports from 1994 until the end of 2006, initially with Labonte with both their Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes brands, including Labonte's second NASCAR Championship (1996), and his second win in a major (the 2003 Southern 500).

The company has consistently reduced its sponsorship, where in 2007 it shares only the hood or the sides of the cars with co-primary sponsor Carquest Auto Parts now driven by Casey Mears. Fog horn leg horn drove the Kellogs corn flakes car in 1983. Terry Labonte Full Time Drivers

I know he is not a big name but he is racing in another series because he has been suspended He got busted for heroine. he had many chances to redeem himself, but he kept doing the drugs. After his third chance NASCAR banned him for life. He Wuz DUH dude Doped out Shane Hmiel got busted for illegal narcotics. Failed drug test I think. and it wasn't just pot either. He and his girlfriend got caught and busted for heroin. He just couldn't give up the sensimilla and ice. Too many failed drug tests. In 2003 he tested positive for marijuana. In 2005 he tested positive for marijuana and cocaine and was suspended for a bit. Then in 2006 he tested positive(for what I dont know I could find that anywhere) again and then was banned for life from Nascar. What a shame! nah -not drugs

No denial - just the facts.
The boy wouldn't be where he is if he truly "sucked".
Deal with it.
edit:
Not a troll just new to this group. I have been reading all of these questions and answers for several weeks now and finally felt like participating in the discussion. I am not a long time NASCAR fan (since about 2003) but I am a huge fan of the sport. Is that OK with you? Well, number wise it speaks for itself.
3rd in points this year.
17 Cup wins.
2 Busch (not nationwide) Championships.
Not bad overall. DuDe, Give it up They have the ammo to win this argument. He has no wins in 2 years true but he has consistently ran top 10 races He lap runners better than 35 other drivers and I am not a fan Jr will never be as good as his dad !! He is a lap runner but Kyl BusCh is a race winner! What are you talking about? The dude is 3rd in points. 1) He is 3rd in the points
2) He has 17 wins
3) That averages out to a win every 18 starts...............
What do you want???????? You must admit at least that he's a pretty good "lap runner"...no?
3rd in points for lap running...as long as he's doing it good enough to finish top 5 or 10 every week...I don't give a rat's a$$. Well if it isn't Burger, Pizza, and Taco. Whats next? Salad? or How about Turkey? I kinda like grilled Cheese Sandwich.
Jr is third in points, But if you want to call him a lap runner, then fine. But remember, he has also lead quite a few laps too. Isn't it a little early for the trolls to be out of their caves already today??? It's not even noon yet.
3rd in points.
I'm just sayin'..... If so, he is a very consistent "lap runner". you could put it that way.
you could step in front of a city bus too. Junner,hey he is consistant. all racers are nothing more than lap runners in the long run. it's the quality of the laps that count, and often the quantity. burton's right up in the mix and has run nearly every lap this year. last year, especially toward the end, i would agree - he was just running laps, especially once he lost his spot in the chase. he was test equipment for truex, who was in the chase.
not the case this year by far - he's carrying the hms banner by being third in the points, and contending most races.

All families have issues. I think that they got into it last year in the All Star race. A million bucks will make you say alot of things that you don't mean. Well, one's definitely on the better team.
And, Kurt doesn't want to ruin his reputation when he's around his little Shrubby brother. They are both extremely competitive and have a big ego. Kurt has really grown up a lot but he used to act just like Kyle does and maybe he still does away from the track. They have probably always had a very good or very bad relationship depending on the mood and never much in the middle. Well, any two brothers close in age have issues. I imagine Kurt was a little peeved when Rowdy decided to become a racer, too, instead of finding his own niche in the world. Kyle is undoubtedly the better driver, and that would cause some friction- look at all his wins lately. Maybe they had issues as kids that they never grew out of, or "mom liked you best". I imagine they live totally separate lives off the track, Kurt being settled down and Kyle being- rowdy. Who knows what gets said in the motor home? I think Kyle will flame out and Kurt will just keep on going. Its a combination of just about everything has stated in the previous answers. I really have nothing to add other than I hope someone lights a fire under that team and gets them going in the right direction. Lady Mala: it's interesting you mentioned Kyle Busch flaming out because in the back of my mind that thought has persisted. He's burning SO brightly right now it's almost frightening. Because they are both idiots, especially Kyle. I wish everyone would stop calling him rowdy, nothing like a self given nickname. He is such a shrub. If anything Kurt is the better driver, Kyle has the luck of toyota (given they have more HP than the rest of Nascar) If the playing field was even Shrub would be down there with Robbie Gordon and Waltrip seven year age difference can be part of it, then add in being in the same sport as competitors, I am sure they areloving brothers as can be in that situation, but they do have different lives Two assholes usually son't get along!!! Their brothers its what they do. Both have stated off the track they are once again close, they're just at different places in their lives, Kurt's about to turn 30 and is married, Kyle's 23 and is single, but when they get together, all is good between them thanks to grandma and her pictionary, lol..
On the track, it's every man for himself.. Kyle is probably jealous that Kurt has a Sprint Cup Series championship. Maybe it's because Kurt has more than twice as many wins AND a higher winning percentage than Kyle, 6.32 to 6.30? But it's probably because Kyle wrecked Kurt at the All Star race last year when they would have both had a shot at the win.
3 STR8 N 08!!! after kyle wrecked kurt during last years all star race i can understand why they don't get along that well. kurt was real mad after that and ever since then they don't seem to get along good Kyle took out Kurt in a wreck and they didn't speak for a year. It was holiday time and their grandma wanted the boys to stop the bickering. Kyle said he and Kurt "made up" and that was grandma's Christmas gift that year. Kurt maybe jealous of the Lil Busch following in his footsteps. kurt is seven years older and there was supposedly always a strong competition between the two, but kurt knew what the pecking order would be when he said "if you think i'm a good driver, wait till my little brother gets here" - and that was his championship year.
from what i've read, they were closer when kyle finally hit the cup series, and he would ask kurt for advice. now kyle has eclipsed all but the championship accomplishment of kurt's and supposedly just doesn't call much anymore...they lead two different lives. kyle is busy with his 23-year old lifestyle (girlfriends, racing all over the place, sucking in the publicity, extreme sports), while kurt has settled into his 30 year old married lifestyle.
and there was the all-star incident, which supposedly had to be brokered by their grandmother around christmas, seven months after it happened. but they made up, and moved on. there's an article about this somewhere on nascar.com.
there may be more minor underlying issues, as evidenced by things kyle said early on, like he came into the sport with a bad reputation thanks to his brother, but i don't think that was ever taken that seriously. at most, it seems like in most interviews, kurt is ready and willing to help with any issue kyle may bring to him, on track or off, but kyle never needs to...
that's my take as a busch brothers follower all these years. Well, they wrecked each other in last years All Star Challenge! I was reading an article at NASCAR.com the other day. From what the story said it was due to the wreck where Kyle took out Kurt. After that they didn't speak for over a year.
Their Grandma wanted them to make their peace before the Holidays and they both agreed. Hope this helps.
A great day to all.....Peace n Smiles =o~} Its all over that million dollars last year, in the all-star race!!

a cone ice cream . Coke plus and pizza. got to have it
everytime. buffalo wings and pizza. Tostitos salsa and/or bean dip.
I have to turn the TV up I'll be crunching so much...!!! crunch ..crunch... crunch ...crunch ..crunch... crunch ..crunch...!!! It depends on the time of the yr...in the summer/warm weather its Shrimp or Mahi Mahi on the grill, Margarita's and Ice Cold Corona lights or whatever beer people want...In the fall its Chicken Wings, Potatoe Skins, mini taco's and taquitos, Pizza and we normally pick one race and have our Chili contest among us, and in October we have a Octoberfest for one of the Oct races... One thing for sure if the race is not that good, the food is great..
Go Dale Jr & Hms maybe a cereal, or ice cream I don't want to be cooking and miss something, so something easy,or Pizza chicken wings from the Hickory Hut and a couple of Rockstars or Starbucks French Roast coffee. Chips and homemade salsa. Oh yeah, and beer. Pizza and roasted cockroaches hot wings and beer BBQ is usually smoking the neighbors out on Sundays.
Brisket is my specialty but I don't do that every weekend.
Beer of course. Plenty of Buds on ice. Pizza, wings and beer! at home, i usually get a big@$$ burrito from this little place down the road the day before, so i don't have to leave the house all day sunday. so pretty much anything (pizza, burritos, etc.) i can get the day before and have it be ok to eat the next day, so i don't have to miss anything from before raceday starts till after windtunnel ends. I go to a little mexican restaurant and get a order of their Salsa and Queso sauce and chips then pig out! I agree pizza! Anything that I don't have to cook myself! That usually means pizza delivery. : ) does beer in clude in food and nacho's Pizza and a refreshing Coke! Pizza & Root Beer This is a love hate situation...
LOVE
I love Greg Biffle because he is sponsored by OREOS, VANILLA WAFERS and... 3m, but that's not edible.
HATE
Eating a whole bag of vanilla wafers and/or oreos every race day... I'll most likely die of heart attack in two years or so. beer..... nachos barbecued johnsonvilles on toasted buns and cold cold beer!! Hot dogs or chili dogs and nachos!!!! yum Pizza and beer (Amberbock). But I usually don't get anything special for that day since I'm the only one watching the race anyway. Macaroni and Cheese

Best is Darlington. Worst is Bristol. Bristol stinks anymore. Dover was like watching Bristol. All tracks provide better racing once the surface has aged but Talladega was improved and Bristol was destroyed. Ok...maybe not destroyed but it certainly didn't improve the quality of racing. Hopefully it returns to its old glory days in a few years. 1- Talledega ---> best
2- Michigan -----> worst best: 'dega
worst: i dunno, i kinda like them all. they made bristol different, but i still like it. and the drivers hated vegas right after the repave, they had to wait a year or so, so give'em time... I dont know which one is better but we went to the races at Talladega last year right after it was repaved and it sucked a$$ compared to before. Nothing to disagree with Tom, Vegas better, Bristol not so much! Which one did they do the best on and the worst?
Darlington
Las Vegas
Lowes
Talladega
Bristol
Name another if I'm forgetting.
I think they made Las Vegas so much better but absolutely ruined Bristol. I agree Tom, I kinda wish they would have put asphalt on Bristol to make it a little challenging. But the new concrete there just needs some age on it to get better. It will get back to the way it was but it may be on down the line.
Best: Las Vegas
Worst: Bristol I agree with your opinion.
I was there for the first race after they repaved Bristol. SUCKED. I was so upset!
Las Vegas - most improved, definitely.

They all raced 31 years after the 1960 Italian GP?
I await the correct answer. Meanwhile, i'll collect the thumbs down ....
. The drivers are all "oldest".
Chiron: to start
Fagioli: to win
Fangio: to be world champion
Etancelin: to score a point
So I'll guess at the oldest podium ever and the oldest grid ever for the other two??? Great question - stumped me good and proper! I need the answer! What is the historic link between the drivers on the podium at the 1991 Spanish GP; the entrants at the 1960 Italian GP; Louis Chiron; Luigi Fagioli; Juan Manuel Fangio and Philippe Etancelin?
Should keep a few people busy for a while...some of the clues will lead you to look in the right places re. the other clues.

June 18, 1967: Carolina 500
Richard Petty romps to victory in the Carolina 500 at Rockingham for his 11th win of the season. The win pushes Petty atop the NASCAR points standings for the first time.

June 18, 1967 - Jimi Hendrix burns his guitar on stage at the Monterey Pop Festival.
Beat Fehr (1942 - June 18, 1967) was a racing driver from Switzerland, born in Zurich. He was killed in an Italian Formula 3 race at Caserta, in the same accident that claimed the lives of "Geki" and "Tiger" Perdomi.
He was killed when he got out of his car and ran back down the track to warn other drivers about the accident ahead of them. "Geki" could not avoid striking and killing Fehr, and Geki himself was killed when his car then struck a wall.
June 18, 1967 - Pink Floyd Concert {The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Tour} at Brands Hatch Race Track, Kent, England (Radio London Motor Racing & Pop Festival)
That's all I could find! Don't think any of these affected him, though. LOL...just more useless trivial info.
Go Jr.>>>>
edit: Jimi Hendrix's last song at the concert was “Wild Thing,” and it only has two chords.
http://www.parade.com/features/touchston...
edit: OK...The answer is....(drum roll please):
Kyle's nickname "Wild Thing" was officially made famous by Jimi Hendrix! Right? Right! 10 points please...LOL... My first thought was that one of his parents were born, but that doesn't make sense given how old Kurt is, so idk..
Do tell!
LMAO!! The only thing I could find was that Richard Petty won at Rockingham, that made no sense!
Wild thing makes my heart sing!! not sure can you give a clue????
and yes tough question cannot wait for answer!!! The year was 1967. How would I know I was only 3 ! Hey Gloria what happened ?

He was definitely cheating at last year's Daytona 500. Do I think he CAN, yes, but I highly doubt that he WILL. He could sneak in a fuel mileage win or plate race and that's his only hope.
3 STR8 N 08!!! No. NASCAR needs to look into these "violations" before accusing them all of cheating. I am not a big Mike Waltrip fan (how can anyone be? At race's end he is already in the garage or a kajillion laps down), but I wouldn't be so quick to judge as the powers that be in NASCAR do.
and "no"...his cars aren't ever that great anymore. You should choose a different driver to root for. Waltrip cannot win a race ever. The only reason he still races is because he owns the team.
No, he did not cheat. And the answer is the same for the other question. No, he will not win a race. Every team cheats to some extent, some are just more discreet. Someone once said "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."
I expect Vickers or Reutimann to win before Mikey does, he just has too much on his plate right now. yeah he did cheat, added stuff to the gas and i dont think he will win but if he does it might come at Dayton this july or mabe Talladega. 55 is my Favorite Racer ,was that really true at the 500
And Do you think Mike can WIN this year ??? yes they say mikeys team was cheating last year at the 500 Yes it was true, a added stuff to the fuel to make it faster, (I heard rocket fuel, Hmmmmmmmm) and I think he can win, he has been somewhat consistent. But I don't think he will win. He was doing what everyone else is doing, except he got caught. Unfortuately, he will not win this year. He is only strong at restrictor plate tracks and they are stronger Toyotas than his running right now. yes, he was caught with jet fuel in his car back at daytona last year. old news there. can he win this year - sure, but it will probably have to be at a restrictor plate track. he really isn't all that good anywhere else - he's best known for his two daytona 500 wins, and not a heck of a lot else. No, Mikey didn't do it. It was a single individual on his team that done it. Michael didn't even know until NASCAR found it.
As for the win, his best chance is at Daytona and Talladega. He has a good chance at Pocono because he was pretty fast there in testing. Yea he got busted with a fuel additive.
I don't think Mikey will win another race for the rest of his career. He's a joke. Mikey needs to step aside and give the 55 to some young blood that actually has a chance to be competitive. Yeah, he got caught. I wonder how many didn't get caught for something they did? Mikey can and probably will win again, but I don't think it will be this year.

Its called Photoshop Einstein. That photo has been around for 2 years. It doesn't take a genius to see it isn't real. I don't see the big deal. It's a picture of two friends hanging out and relaxing.
And I don't think that's a doctored picture. That is disturbing, especially if you are a straight white male. I do not hang with my friends like that. Food for thought... Hell... I don't buy it... look at his FLAB!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, but NASCAR drivers are usually in VERY GOOD physical condition. In the past, in these "Superstar" athletic competitions, the racing drivers turned out to be the top performers. So I don't buy that flab being Jr's!
But, again, I said before, what does sexual orientation have to do with being able to race a car?
GOOOOOOOOOOO J Gordon! FUNNY FUNNY Again I ask, jealous? I think Tbone, #18'sRowdy's World, Winter, and dianne m. said it all I don't have to say anymore!! Not sure if it's doctored - but I looked at the shadows (that is what you are supposed to look at in a suspect picture). I am no expert on that stuff, but they don't really seem to match.
Even if it's real...really, it shows absolutely NOTHING! And for people to continue with this whole thing is so funny!
He has been seen with plenty of girls, there is absolutely nothing about his character or actions that show him to be anything but a man who loves women. Can you imagine the pressure for both Jr. and the girl - hard to make a relationship with that kind of thing!
What I find funny is those people who use the excuse "OH, we had to hear it about Jeff, now it's on Jr. and you don't like it?" Like they didn't stand up for Jeff when it was said! LOL!
But the most insane part of the whole thing...Jeff being gay came from the fact that he drove the "Rainbow Car". Seriously, are people that ignorant? LOL! I know I, know...YES, they are!
My whole feeling is people criticize what they don't understand or are jealous of. Those who say "can't be jealous of someone who doesn't lose" you are jealous of other things...his familiarity, his ability to market, whatever - cause don't tell me you don't want that for your driver! Yet we are talking about a guy who lost his father in a tragic way that he is also doing. Would you rather YOUR driver be in that position? Cause if you want one part, you have to take all of the parts! OMG! Does everyone believe all the pictures they see these days? How ridiculous! Gays in Racin? Tony Steward loves Sausage! why is dale doing this? who cares?
even if it was real, why do you care so much?
do i sense some unresolved conflicts being masked here...?

(for the person who reported the question the first time, I have appealed and you will probably lose your reporting rights, since it was valid) I don't buy it. Look at his neck. if you look you can obviously see its a doctored picture Good grief! Leave the guy alone. No wonder he doesn't go anywhere outside his home town. Give the guy a break. oKAY.... FIRST OF ALL JUST BECAUSE A MAN HAS HIS FEET ON DALE'S LAP DOES NOT INDICATE HE IS GAY!!!!!!!!!!!! none of the less hey maybe they had too much to drink...... dale is not gay and i do not appreciate thse comments about him being gay!!!!!! thank you That's hilarious! Soooooooooo funny.....old pic, old news..guys hanging out with each other......(could possibly be a photoshop chop shop, UMMMMMMM, i do believe so!)
..I guess you do not have a life if you believe that ridiculous mess, got nothing better to do??
Sesame Street is on Channel 2 at 6:00 PM..lol this person needs to grow up and shut the **** up. Junior isn't gay, just because he's not married doesn't mean he's gay. You know whats really funny, is your hurt feelings expelled as a psychosis. I bet you hate your life. That's O.K., your family does too. Somebody put Jr.'s head on that body. See the white line across the neck?!I Somebody pasted the head on there, and then airbrushed it, but they didn't match the color of the rest of it quite right. I can do all that crap, and in fact I make banners, logos, and templates. I also restore old photos, airbrush prom and wedding photos (remove bags, wrinkles, frown lines ect.) That's my job. It isn't hard to do if you have the right program and the know how.
But, even so......what would be the big deal. Two guys relaxing, and one guy stretching his legs out. OMG, that is soooo gay.....gimme a break.

Kurt, Kyle, Denny, Ryan, Jeff, Jimmie, Greg or Tony not a white car, but a colorful one, coz if there's one thing i (and tony) know about racing, it's that colorful cars just go faster...
;-) MARTIN TRUEX JR. FOLLOWED BY DENNY HAMLIN SECOND AND TONY STEWART TO ROUND OUT THE TOP 3. well i wrote all the number down and drew the number for David Gilliand and decided that was a bad method to pick a winner , so with my Logic i would have to Say Dale Jr. because he has been fast at this track and his team is alot better this year. Saying that now he struggles to win anything so my default would be Ky.Busch , but God i hope not im sick of seeing him in victory lane,(but if he does win i hope he says"duh" again) Matty Kenseth Ha ha, the way everything is going, Kyle B will. Kenseth he is due! Definately a Gibbs car. My pick would be Tony Stewart. Denny does well here too and of course Kyle has been kicking some butt. Those would be my top 3 choices. anyone from JGR...preferably Smoke though...he needs a win...he could've won dover if it hadnt been for that accident on lap 19 i think it was Id say Jr, Jimmie, or Jeff have the best shot, but Hamlin, busch and stewart will be up there fighting for the lead a lot Dale Jr. He ran great here last year, got the pole, finished 2nd in one of the races...and last weeks testing session he ran 2nd quicked to the 38.
It will come down to the usual suspects I'm sure.
By the way...Pocono REALLY needs to lose one of it's dates!!!! Right now I'd say the weatherman, doesn't look good for the weekend...I hope Matt Kenseth can turn it around and get a win, and then I always hope Dale Jr can pull it off, he did finish 2nd to Kurt Busch in the second race there last yr.
Go Dale Jr & Hms.. Mark Martin smoke... its about time for him to fire it up denny hamlin swept it last year but gordon finished in the top 5 bolth races last year. one of those two. or kyle busch. he is on fire. dale jr martin truex jr I think Kurt will because he won one of them last year. Travis kvapil Hey I get best answer if it happens I'm hoping for Tony Stewart. i just hope mother-nature doesn't mess things up (rain wise) again like last year. I am pulling for Jeff Gordon, but feel Denny Hamlin will win. Since we all know nascar scripts the races (sarcasm), I've actually already read the script. Kenseth will lap the field several times over. K. Busch will be black flagged for running too slow. Seriously, I'm sure it will be the same ol' cast of characters up front. After watching Dover, they may run this entire race with no cautions. I'd love to see Kasey Kahne come back after that bad weekend at Dover and win a second race at Pocono, but I think this is going to be Tony Stewart's weekend. I'm going with my guy Jr like I always do!!
but I also believe that Johnson, Gordon, Stewart, and Kyle have a good chance!! Ryan Newman hm..
Well Kyle Busch has a good chance.
but so does Jimmie Johnson & Jeff Gordon.
Maybe Dale Jr.
but Tony really wants a win..so he might fight pretty hard. Carl Edwards or Kyle Busch

on that same episode of "this week in nascar" the guys were talking about kyle's radio communications and how it always sounds like his car is just terrible. one of them said that there was one point when kyle said he had no forward bite, no side grip, and something else, yet was still leading the race. michael waltrip said "yeah, but at least he had his helmet back. if kyle's really all that loose it'll come in handy in case he crashes." i was busting up. mikey might not be fast on the track, but he is wicked fast with the comeback.
and yeah, someone did break into kyle's hauler, poured beer and ice all over a bunch of things, made a big mess, and stole his helmet, thinking it was his "lucky helmet." someone else in the area alerted security and the guys were caught with the helmet still with them, and they were taken away and the helmet returned. and it turns out, as was said above, it wasn't his "lucky" helmet or special-made for this race or anything - in fact, it was the "snickers" helmet they had used in his win at atlanta. the only reason they were using it this weekend (which they did) was that it was the closest thing they had to orange in the shop (to match their "combos" paint scheme). then mikey had his comments - it was fularious.
ps. i'll bet it was a scott riggs' crew member...never trusted those guys. ;-)
pps. and i was NO WHERE NEAR dover this past week...so don't look at me...it was riggs' nation - get those guys!!! I was watching This week in NASCAR last night and I only heard a little bit about it but this was the 1st I'd heard about it. He got it back, I guess security found the guy that broke into his trailer and took it but isn't that kind of crazy? supposely they thought this was a lucky helmet so they took it and Kyle said it wasn't lucky they were just using that one cause it had orange on it like his car last weekend. No didnt hear about and really dont care. Sorry just not a Kyle Busch fan. Didn't hear about that. Kind of amazing with the security around the race track that anyone could just waltz up to the trailer and steal a helmet. Heck you need passes to get anywhere, pass for pit road, pass for garage, pass for hospitality. I wonder if they got the guy as well.
That is pretty crazy though someobdy was having fun Friday night with Wild Thing's helmet. I bet nobody believed it was the real thing till it hit the news.....LOL! Well they didn't hit him in the head with it. I guess you "could" call it a lucky helmet. haha.
i just read a little bit about that on nascar.com
i found it pretty funny someone would try & steal his helmet just because they think its lucky!
wow.
some people have big issues.
but it's good for some laughs =] It was me, I confess!! BUSTED!! (ti he he) Who really cares?
They need to examine that car after the race and figure out how he gets away with cheating week after week. The story I read about it said it had to be an inside job...the cleanup crew possibly. That the guy also poured beer and ice all over the inside of the hauler.
Must have been Jr Nation...
Rack...it was meant as a joke..as I'm sure one of the Shurbheads will make the comparison between this and Jr Nation throwing beer cans. Thought I'd beat 'em to it.

rumor was that he lost interest in racing, has he revived his interest,and is he racing anywhere? "During a March 8th, 2008 airing of Speed Channel's Trackside, Mark Martin (Matt's father) announced that his son Matt ended his racing career. Mark Martin stated his son wants to concentrate on his education but didn't rule out a possible return to racing." *
Also noticed that Matt's website, www.mattmartin.net, is no longer active. Matt still runs Late models in central Florida.He is not being mentored as much as some of the other young drivers.He is still intrested in the sport and still runs.

I know your pain. I had a certain dis-like for Rusty Wallace for years. Then he had like a 100+ race losing streak. Finally it got to the point where I wanted to see him win just one before he retired. Can't explain it. Maybe you just feel sorry for him. He's a good guy, and he hasn't seen any results from all the changes he's made. He's got more respect than anybody on the track. how can you dislike him? you could be like a kyle bush or tony stewart fan and like jr. he is the coolsest. you have to admit that. when you see him driving that #88 you just smile. because he is a great driver and deserves a lot of respect. i have been a gordon fan for 7 years and i still love jr. he is great. Stop Winter...Just gather your thoughts and BREATHE. Deeper now. BREATHE. Feel better???
Rowdy has more talent. he will win the championship this year. Jr. MAY be in the top 10 but there is plenty of more racing to be done and anything can happen one way or another. Will the real Winter Glory please stand up?
lol Well I'll try to help out.
If you start liking him you will be labeled with a stereotype of being a redneck, beer throwing, hell raising fan. Jr. isn't the best role model out there either and should not even be mentioned in the top 10 of any list, other than the most overrated. He has done nothing but inherit a last name to entitle himself to legions of fans. He seems like a genuine person who could care less if he wins or loses. Junior can’t win in the best cars and if he was on an under financed team he’d never crack the top twenty.
He's overrated.
If you’ve ever been to a NASCAR event and had to suffer through the blind cheering of “Junior Nation” you know why. He has tons of fans at each race, and I can't figure out why. What has he done? His father is another story, but Jr. supposedly doesn't want to live in his "shadow" and it's obvious, as he seems to try his best to avoid it, including leaving the company his father built. He wanted to go to a place where he could win, and although it's just his first season, I'm waiting with open eyes. Personally, I think he is a traitor and power hungry but good luck convincing other people of that.
He has become the sob story of NASCAR. His Nation may be realizing finally that he's not quite what he is cracked up to be, and they think he is entitled to win. NASCAR is supposed to be a competitive sport and I love the fact that many fans and drivers realize that you must deserve a win, and not are entitled to one just because you've had a couple of bad seasons, and not met expectations. This may not convince you one way or the other, but it's some food for thought. I know I'm going against the popular opinion here, but it's better to think for yourself than allow others to do it for you if you ask me.
Just my opinion, don't kill me. Is it ok that I am startng to dislike Tony Stewart? If so, it is ok in my books that you like Jr., he is pretty cool. Uh Who? hes sortof in my top 10, what keeps him out is the fact that every week hes picked to win, and we all know it wont happen, and even jeff hammond sayin he'll be champ this year, come on Right now Kyle and Jr. are the most talked about drivers. As a result, all the trolls come out and pick on them to get people all riled up. They get off on stuff like that.
Besides, as a Jeff Gordon AND Jr. fan for years, I've found that it can be fun to throw the haters for a loop. Thats fine! Junior is my Favorite with Smoke being a very strong second! Welcome to Junior Nation!
And Smoke Tribes! lol.... winter glory likes junebug.....hahahahah!
j/k girl! it is alright to like dale i like dale he is my #3 driver..... Probably because he is a nice guy, and you know that, and have no reason to dislike him. Coming on here and reading crap about him constantly makes you feel badly because women are ruled by emotions, and the "mothering" instinct that we have kicks in.
It sounded good anyway! LOL! I have no idea how it happens. I was NEVER a Tony Stewart fan, and this year I want him to hurry up and win his first race. I was bummed out bad last week when he was taken out so early. I have no explanation for my sudden change of feelings either. Sounds like ur just coming to ur senses. Winter Glory you crack me up cause I've been defending Kyle all day yesterday so it's nice to know I got a little pay back in that department!! (it's a rough place to be huh?) And like I said yesterday and I'll say to you I'll never consider myself a member of "Rowdy's World" like I'm sure you'll never be a member of Jr Nation but hey we can all show respect to each others fans (the ones that deserve it anyways lol) and all is good in fact some of the members of Rowdy's World are some of my fave people on here and even though I'm a Jr fan you all still give me respect which I appreciate and I will do the same for you all and I will give credit where it is deserved like yesterday Kyle won acted great, drove great, and I was proud of him!! (yes I did say that!! LOL) Anyways I'll quit rambling I just wanted you to know your not the only one in that position and it's nice to know that I'm not alone!! (maybe we ought to make our own little club LOL!!) There's nothin' wrong with likin' Junior. Respect earns respect as the sayin' goes. Thanks for seein' thru the clouds.
I'm sorry.....I luv this!! LOL......he's not so bad after all.
No cure needed...we all have more than 1 favorite driver.
Thanks for the great laugh n big smile! Star for U!!
P.S. I have at least 10 favorite drivers. lol......... here that jr nation, we got another. jk. that's nothing to be afraid of. when i first started watching nascar i couldn't stand him. then a little later on my brothers got me liking him because he is their favorite driver. he is now in my top 4. You know what I haven't asked a Busch fan-Jr. hater yet? Why DO you hate Dale Jr? At least Kyle haters can give lots of reasons why they hate him. I've never heard a Jr. Hater actually say WHY they hate Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Who's to say you can't be a fan of both? Is there some kind of unwritten law stating that if you like Rowdy you have to dislike Jr? I've been trying to tell you all, Jr's TRUE fans are the ones who can see past the "dumba**" routine on TV. He's just a good-natured guy who wants to win as bad as the next guy. His attitude is the polar opposite of Busch's. That's why there is this huge fan-based rivalry. I've got your cure. Quit caring what people on here say. Does it really matter what they say? Do you think Junior, or any other drivers for that matter, get on here and have their feelings hurt? Doubt it. I've seen so many ridiculous answers and questions that it's just not worth getting worked up over. Pull for your driver on Sunday, read about him on Monday, and let the rest say what they may. It worked for me. When Senior died, I switched to Kevin Harvick (still like him) but during last season all the Jr bashing got to me and now I pull for Jr more than anyone. There are so many ignorant people out there (and in here) who say he is a whiner and can't drive which couldn't be farther from the truth. This cant be the real Winter Glory! LOL There is nothing wrong with liking Dale Jr he just kind of rubs off on you but more to the point there isn't anything wrong with rooting for more than 1 driver either Dale is the main one I root for but I like a couple others too. I don't see him ever being in my top 25 I've found myself defending Jr. on like 5 different answers just TODAY! And worse, actually hoping he wins a race this year?!
No way am I jumping ship on Rowdy, by any means, but is it possible I'm actually gonna start "liking" Jr?
Is he gonna creep into my top 10?(he's currently about 12th)
What have you people done to me???
Cures please.

partly both i think he might have even more fans if he werent in a toyota well he's taken on a bad guy role which has attracted some people, he has dominated this year which has attracted people, and some people still think he purposly wrecked jr at richmond so some jr haters liked that and that mad them fans (those are the only busch fans i dont like) the rest are pretty cool. Most likey he is gaining so many fans from winning. I personally don't pick winners usually (29, 44,18) I got kinda lucky that Kyle Busch is a winner lol. I usually have awful luck. Too many people are band wagoners these days... ANOTHER bandwagoner....it amazes me. People have no dignity. I would say because he is winning. Most people just jump on winners a band wagon, until he stops losing. I know A LOT of fans that like Dale Jr, but clearly hate Gordon and Johnson. I for one don't care who he drives for because I don't like him. its some of both - there's no denying it. winning gets him noticed by more people, especially fans new to the sport, and changing teams got him noticed by all the HMS haters out there. that's not how i came to like him (he's a fellow vegas boy) - i liked him before he was winning so often, and i don't hate HMS.
but in the end, it doesn't really matter HOW the fans got there, what matters is THAT they got there - and that's true of fans of rowdy, of any other driver, or of nascar as a whole in my book. Its all because of his winning alot. When he won a bunch of races with HMS no one was cheering for him. wtg on answers #18 and the besta....thumbs UP from ME!
Kyle is on a roll I think Kyle Busch has more fans think he does but I bet the Jr fans hate him though I'm a lifelong Redskin fan and I really wish I could thus, pull for Gibbs racing. But I swear my least favorite three drivers are Hamlin, Stewart, and Busch. Oh well. I always liked him when he was at Hendrick. Some people just like drivers because they win, sad but true. Kyle proabably gained a lot of fans at Richmond even though he made the Jr fans hate him worse.
His merchandise sales are now second to you know who - Jr. I admit JGR has one he** of a team with Tony, Kyle, and Denny!!
But so does HMS they just haven't gotten it all together yet so far this year.
It should come down to both these teams for the championship!!
But that's just my opinion!! Yup, Kyle's a good name! I ama big fan of Hendrick...well Jeff and Jimmie at least, and I liked Kyle there. He fits in so much better at Gibbs, though, and I love watching him win there, and I know that he is a rare talent. Joe Gibbs Racing is going to be strong for years to come with Busch, Hamlin, and Logano in the mix. Things are looking good idont notice that he really has many fans insomuch as he has a whole load of people that really dislike him (ala Gordon).
wrecking Jr. a few races ago when he had a good chance to win has mobilized a lot of fans against him.
i dont think it has much to do with his move to Gibbs I'll admit, last year I very much disliked him but, I am thinking it had more to do with his team. Now that he is on with Gibbs, I do not care which of the three Gibbs drivers win as long has it is one of them. I've been a fan from day one. Last year I supported his HMS teammates, this year I support his JGR teammates
May be...
I don't think he is the best driver out there but he does have some talent & even though he is 3rd in points, I don't see him winning a championship unless he wins a race or 2 but it may or may not come. He hasn't won with Hendrick still and doesn't look like he will anytime soon. Last season you guys said that if he doesn't win this season he isnt very good. well you can talk about consistency all you want but where is his points race win?
All I see is 'its coming its coming, you cant be that consistent and not win' or 'he's due, this is his week'
This is the stuff I read each week and its almost depressing that people are so blind. He has turned into the sob story of NASCAR with fans thinking other drivers should move off the track to let him get in victory lane.
Isn't NASCAR for racing? If Dale Jr. is gods gift to NASCAR he will win, but please quit saying it every single week it looks bad on Jr. Nation. You forget, he won the first two races of the season, the Bud Shootout, and one of the Gatorade Duels. So he has won for Hendrick, but yeah, they were NON points races, BUT, He still won. He is definitely not the best, but he is great.
Just a tip. Before you post, you might want to get the facts straight. OK?? Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a great driver
He's very talented.
He's being very consistent.
3rd in points!
Just because he hasn't won doesn't mean he's not one of the best drivers out there!
& he is due for a win.
He'll win soon.
but why does it bother you so much that people keep saying he's gonna win soon?
People say that about alot of drivers.
im sure there are plenty of people saying "oh..Jeff Gordon hasn't won yet this year..this is his week..he's gonna get his first win of the season" or with any other winless driver this year..like Tony Stewart. every driver has fans, and the fans think that their driver is the greatest that is what makes the sport the greatest lol it's funny that someone ^^ said that he was due for a win after the question said that's what everyone else says, even if he isn't very good at a certain track. Okay here we go again, let the bashing start. enough already If we are Jr fans and we think or want to believe that he is gonna win then what is it to ya? why do you care? I'm a proud member of Jr nation and yes I have faith that Jr's win will come and he's not doing that poorly he is 3rd in points and if you think that is bad then get a life. I'm not gonna jump ship just because he hasn't won lately i don't care if he doesn't win for another 100 races I'll still be his fan and I'll still have faith that he'll win so get over it!! a true fan stands by their driver win or lose something you would know if you were a loyal fan! Fan above me, I don't think he is talking about a one race issue.
It's almost a trick question because you can say it has no answer:
"Who is more deserving of their athletic celebrity status -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Danica Patrick?"
Zach Klein of WFTV-Ch. 9 dumped that stumper on Brian Schmitz and me during Sunday Showdown, what I like to think of as the best five minutes in TV sports, especially in its time period of 11:45 p.m.
Schmitz said Earnhardt is more deserving. I chose Danica and then blurted something like: "Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the most overrated athlete in American sports today."
Schmitz muttered to me: "Be careful when you start your car."
The wrath of Earnhardt nation aside, did I mean that? After all, it was television -- and people will say and do anything on television. We all know that.
So, did I mean it?
Absolutely.
Who else could it be? Earnhardt is a giant, especially after switching teams and cars, generating all that new merchandise flying off the shelves. Too bad he can't go that fast in his car. Yes, he's third in current NASCAR Big Guy standings but he didn't finish among the top drivers in two of the last three seasons and, this is my killer fact -- has not had a Sprint Cup victory in 74 starts dating back two years.
And he has been voted NASCAR's MPD -- "Most Popular Driver" -- for five consecutive years. Would that be true if he were Dale Jones Jr.?
So he wins our MORA -- Most OverRated Athlete.
But Danica would be second because how much attention would she be getting if she was Dan Patrick? (Wait a second, you don't suppose she really is Dan Patrick? -- Nah.)
No room for a list. (Stop that cheering!) but other names -- past and present -- come to mind. No, not Anna Kournikova because nobody ever said, "Wow! What a great tennis player!" Most guys just got out the "Wow!" and then choked on their drool.
How about these names in no particular order: Mike Tyson, every Yankee ever born, Ben Wallace, Joe Namath (career completion percentage 50.1), Brett Favre, Mike Vick, Michelle Wie and, I hate to say this, Shaquille O'Neal.
Hey, put those with Earnhardt and Patrick and we would have a Top Ten list!
You can do it yourself. I am a JR Fan as well as many others such as Harvick, Johnson, Kyle, Tony, Newman, Kurt, Gordon, Khane, Burton and NO in my personal opinion he is not the best driver and never will be but as a FAN, that does not make me disloyal to him or the others I pull for.
He is right now the most consistent and still 3rd in the points ahead of the other Hendricks Drivers. but does that make him he best..NO again.
And sure would like for you to send me the article about him wanting other drivers to move off track and let him win, I think not..that was a comment made by Denny Hamlin and NO, I do not pull for him like I do the others at Gibbs!
WE all as FANS..no matter what driver wants our driver to win and hope next week is the week, but as you know..when it does we all will be happy for JR. and if it is another one of our FAVS..we all would just as Happy!
Please no more bashing of JR Fans, some of us are really NASCAR FANS not bashers or sobbers or haters..
As you know there are 43 drivers hungry to WIN and it's racing not a popularity contest. I am not a bandwagoner or jump ship of any of the drivers that I pull for ..now that is what a real FAN is! Agree or disagree, that is anyone's opinion..this is mine. Simple plain truth.
As for the best driver in Nascar?? Too many to count..here is a sample few: Dale Sr, Donnie Allison, David Pearson, Davey Allison, Cale Yaroborough, you want to add some more..be my guest! i want to know where all the gordon fans are that bashed jr all these years now he is the greatest thing ever Why the hate.
I have drivers (NOTE: PLURAL....) that I like and dislike.
But, I hope everyone wins sooner or later.
Be it Tony, Kyle, Kurt, Jimmie, Jr. Jeff...etc. I like Dale Jr as a person. And I think he's a good driver also. That's why I pull for him every race. Is he the best driver in the history of NASCAR? Who's to say? Sure I want him to win and I'm disappointed when he doesn't. But he's my driver and I'm behind him 100%. I really like Dale Jr. as a person plus he is great for NASCAR but you have to face the facts that he isn't a very good race driver or he would win more often with the cars and teams he has had. He certainly isn't a driver like his father at all.
Any owner would love to have him on their team just for the amount of merchandise he sells and the publicity.
Even if he never wins another race his fans, employers, and sponsors will still love him and he will have a long career in NASCAR, if he wants it. Why does it bother you so much that JR has fans? You or any of the Jr hating cronies on this site is not going to change anyone's mind. Give it up.
Oh and by the way...MY pick to win this weekend? Dale Jr. I've said this over and over again, Dale is a nice guy, and a good driver, just not a great driver. I don't think he's got the fire in his belly that Kyle has. I dont know about him being THE best. Hes one of the best. Probably not as good as you tho. Ive never heard anybody say anything about other drivers should let him win. But I guess you heard somebody say it so thats what Jr. fans think. The man is doing what he loves, has won several times and is rich and successful and will be winning again. No matter how good a driver is and how much heart they put into it theres always some expert spectator ready see all the bad and shuffle him into retirement as soon as he hits a rough spot. Every winning driver goes thru this and as soon as it starts theres always the jerk expert right there to start flappin their gums. What have you won lately, expert? Anyone in Jr.'s position in racing would have did way more than Jr. ever has. Being handed everything from age 12 on up til now, he hasn't did diddly squat as far as a race driver. Only a few wins and oh yeah his fans will not let us forget his Bush championships he won, but he couldn't beat Matt Kensith for Rookie of the year. Jr. has just partied his life away and is looking for stardom to retire on. Once you have money it is harder to risk life and limb to keep the car on the edge. He has money so why does he want to race hard anymore, just keep running races and gain profit sharing... Atta Boy Jr. Dale Jr is a Great driver and he will win soon,even with that tore up car he was still running competitive laps. Retarded question. How does a wreck that wasn't his fault take him out make him a bad driver?
May be...
Dale Jr. is. The thumbs down are from people unwilling to accept it. They will know in time. of all time Well I would say the late Rob Moroso But not many remember him so I guess it would be the driver of the "88" car,Junior! This guy! Jr Brian Jackson and if you know what the riverside raceway was you'll know that he will forever hold the track record there.
( Fiance's dad is Brian Jackson! ) Dale Jr would be pretty high on that list. Denny Hamlin is not overra88d and if you watch the replay Jr's little B***H hit him under caution. Plus Hamlin wins more often then 75 races. Kyle Bush not over88d he is just that good. Sow now that we have them out of the way. Lets go with Jr. NASCAR is going to go downhill because the winning sponsors receive less attention then Jr does and thats going to PISS them off and they will put their money elsewhere. Something needs to be done about all of the unfair media attention that he receives. Or he needs to win. I see something being done about it first. Jamie, you're dead to me (joking)
Of all time?? That's too tough to answer, 60 years worth of good, great, bad, and never should've even trieds. Dick Trickle was the most OVER88D driver ever. ;~) Little E. KYLE BUSCH! earnhardt jr or gordon. Jeeeeeeeeeewwwwwnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeerr... Jr until danica comes to nascar JR sorry Ov... and Ed p, that was just pure nasty.......you definitely are a basher and NOT a Fan of anyone if you could put up a post like that!
Personally, Kyle Petty is most overrated, I do like him but since The King stepped down..Petty Enterprises just cannot get it right, Bobby Labonte is the only driver that is showing any type progress and that is not saying much, I also am a fan of Labonte too.
Also the loss of Adam has had a huge impact on kyle Petty and possibly the "fire" is gone. It is a good thing he is stepping out for a few weeks, in my personal opinion he is a better race commentator than racer..
But that is just opinion and everyone has one..do not mean to offend... You think your funny. But the most overrated is Carl Edwards. ALL time??????
Dale Ernhardt...> SENIOR!!!!!!!
Subliminal or not.
GOOOOOOOOO J Gordon! Umm, Denny "I'm going to use the car as an excuse for me being an idiot" Hamlin, or Denny "I'm going to whine about a full-time Nationwide driver, actually racing with me in a Nationwide race" Hamlin. Or Denny" Let's use turn 2 at Richmond as a parking space Hamlin". Ohh wait one more, Denny"throw my pit crew under the bus" Hamlin. I hope I'm not too subtle there. And to think I actually used to like the guy, hell I'm actually begining to like Shrub more than him.
Hmm were'nt expecting this one were you there, I mean with all these little kiss-up Jr haters here, I bet you were expecting everyone to say Jr. BTW I've dealt with better trolls than you before, and you are nowhere in their league. Kyle Bucshy and Daley Jr are both so far overrated with Gordy and Stewy close behind!
May be...
Nope it should all be on one station....This is yet another reason why I don,t watch it like I used to... i think everyone has a problem with each broadcasting... i like fox the best probably because basically i grew up hearing them i don't mind rusty but i can't stand the guy who was a basketball player but he talks just to talk has never raced and has no idea what he is talking about... and then the girls just talk to talk they really don't know what they are talking about.... fox is the best and then tnt.... i really don't care for the espn and abc split Well, TNT is better than ESPN/ABC, Fox is the best...I'm sure glad I have Sirius Satellite radio, the guys at MRN/PRN know how to call a race..
Go Dale Jr & Hms it should all go to fox in my opinion. its just much more livley and exciting. also i think fox has better picture quality then tnt, abc, and espn. i guess they have H.D. or something. Fox should have gotten all the races, they make them more fun, and exciting...
Now in Rusty's defense, he is a good announcer and I think will bring something special to the races, we will see,.
the last half of the races each year is always boring, just due to the announcers they have, they try to explain things and they act like they don't know what the heck they are talking about, they talk around things and do not explain very well at all, I always hated it every time it was time for Benny Parsons and the other guys to take over for the rest of the season, boring announcers, and took away from Nascar.......
maybe this year will be better and Rusty will make things more fun and educate some of those announcers.....
Yea #88 Go Jr, he is really finished up bad today and so did others due that 9 car pile up.....
Stewart was like 110 laps down, bless his heart...tore his car up good I am really sad.......... I love FOX! tnt can be no worse than fox It doesn't matter what fans think of the television deal. Those networks are paying a lot of money to broadcast the races. Personally, I think it's a joke that a race isn't on network TV from June to September. I refuse to pay for cable so I can't watch, and that takes out a lot of casual fans that can't watch either. No... Rusty gets on my nerves before the cretin even opens his yap. I already miss Darrell, Jeff and LarryMac (albeit annoying). I wish Fox would keep it too! I wish Fox would get it all too, I like Fox better than the other networks!! As long as DW isn't commenting, I don't car which network covers Nascar. I just don't respect his over dramatization of every situation. And, the boogity boogity thing is OLD. They need to flush that once & for all. I can't afford cable, so be glad you get to watch it no matter what channel it comes on. Today's race was the last race I will get to watch until ABC picks it up on September 6th. I can't afford the extra luxuries. Congrats on the new T.V. Must be nice. Maybe I'll purchase some cable with my stimulus check. Ha! I am, them stooges in the Fox booth are terrible. One minute DW was bad mouthing Hamlin about running into Sadler wide open then 100 laps or so later he was saying how hard it was to stop one of the cup cars comming out of turn 4(which is it DW?). Fox will never get Nascar the whole year because it would rather air baseball and football. Those are their money makers especially football in the fall. Truth hurts. is everybody ready for the TNT Nascar to take over also ABC/ ESPN . i really dont want to hear rusty or any of them on abc again now tnt isnt that bad but abc is i think fox should get all the races like i watched ESPN Coverage of Nwide Qualifying Saturday and i really didnt understand how there stuff works . im ready to listen to it on the radio just rabbitt ears here folks.Whats everyone gonna do when its either buy gas or pay cable?? Radio calls a better race and you dont have to waste a day in front of tv taking a 65 lap nascar nap I'm actually dreading it. I gotta figure out how to get MRN on my computer or something. I personally dont like ESPN and ABC, because they dont show all the action on the track. I dont care for TNT either really, I like FOX other than DW. So I am dreading the loss of FOX right now.
