In practice yesterday (2/16) Jr's car was pretty good he said, he was rather happy with it,,saying he "did'nt have to lift", so car was handling good, and they picked up some speed,, Should be a good race !! GO FORDS !!
Would be great if Mark or Rusty won, being there last one and all.

He is a good driver with good equipment and he could win the championship, but I would not bet the farm on it.

One more season of NASCAR... and all the backstabbing, whining, the "my driver is better than your driver", and "my driver never gets any respect from NASCAR or the fans or the other drivers!" crap that goes with it. Another season of prima donna pretty boys whose main qualification to be a race car driver is their ability to remember all the names of their sponsors during the interviews on pit road.
It's about time... gentlemen, start your engines.

Ricky Rudd all the way #21! Dale jr ha ha ha ha ha, he stinks like his old man, and he drives chevy. Jimmy Johnson that is even funnier he is almost as bad as his teammate and part owner Gordon, and they drive chevy. This is a Ford site. Ford all the way, wake up guys. I mean that in a nice way.
