Dale Jr.
Who thinks Dale Jr. should leave D.E.I? He wants 51% ownership of the Co. next season or he's leaving.
I really don't blame him....I would go too.

Well, come on boys, boogitty boogitty boogitty! NASCAR is not and never has been about road racing. They have that kind of racing in other places. Throw them cars on Daytona and see who goes to the front. Its about heavy big block engines in (formerly stock) American cars (formerly) going damn fast in a somewhat circle and outlasting the other heavy--you know.And trying to miss all those other crazies sliding around at any moment all over the track. Any of you who thinks it doesn't take skill should go down to Charlotte, pays your money and take a ride. When you get your pants cleaned out maybe you won't be so critical. All that said, NASCAR racing is certainly not what it once was, but what is? It started out pretty much as stock cars, then a little juicing and tinkering to go faster and win and faster faster faster--there had to be rules or it would be mayhem. We don't live in Rome, hell I don't even live in Georgia. I grew up in a town that had one of the original dirt tracks, and the longest, and the last one to see a NASCAR race on dirt. I saw that one too. It's now on the Historical Registry. My dad played poker with Bill France. I saw most of the greats on a dirt track when skill and muscle and horsepower were all that counted, and the only time tires were changed was when you had a flat. I haven't been too happy with it in the last few years but it is what it is, the most attended sporting event in the world. Oh yeah it is about money. If you look back at the 1960s-70s you will see that the winner of a major race might take home a purse of $5-8 thousand dollars. What did Newman win the other day, $1.5 million I think. Anyhow, even though I don't really like some of these new guys, they do something most of us can't do, and if they weren't good they wouldn't be there. So a little respect please. But more for the old guys.
I agree. Good post!0 -

I think it's mostly about the equipment. The drivers are all professionals. When you see a car pass another on the staight away, it's less about the driver than the equipments and the team that set it up.0 -
Considering he is usually within the top 5 at Daytona I'd say he is off to a BAD start.[:D] 0 -
Old Junior will do fairly well at Talladega and Daytona and hit the wall or blow up his engine at the other tracks just like always. 0 -

I believe his engine woes are over..... And he will have a STELLAR season. At least 14 top 10's.0
