I don't watch, but I root for ABE*






*Anybody But Earndhart.



Seriously though, I don't really care who wins, but I prefer them to be driving Dodge.

BORING!!!!  :sleeping: :eek4: Good to see in magazines or TV that Dodges may have won but I can't stand it.
Tried to watch it but after several laps and the lead changing hands every 5 laps by the same 5 cars gets annoying.

I love to hear the commentators "try" and make it interesting.."And he had 4 tires changed" well  what a set-up!!"

 :roflsmiley: Crap.........better in the old days when you at least knew what car you were looking at without having to spot a number or close up shot. I'll stick to NHRA thanks! Follow Garry to his 2nd straight Funny car title (hopefully).

Ive been watching/going to races since the early 70's. But this will be my last year to watch with the intro of a TOYOTA next year. :swear: It was bad enough when they invaded the truck series.

Too Hollywood for me. They've got those guys up on a pedestal so high they can see NZ from here. I too loved the old days when it was stock car racing. Now those were some bad arse drivers!! And, you could recognize the cars.

I am a little E fan.........  I have met him now twice in person and he is super nice guy.   Whats oblivious to most people is that Tony Stewart does alot of touring and work for charities.   Down to earth guy and also easy to talk to.    On the track he is tough driver.

Being an Arkie and I used to race at his home track, I gotta root for Mark Martin.  He doesn't get as wild as most, but I think he's one of the smoothest drivers out there.  I just wish he was in a dodge!

Still watch some, hard to stay focused when you root for the Pettys :1zhelp:. glimmers of hope now & then ::), only to fade away before year end :bricks1:, lots of changes over there this year :dunno:, am I set up for a repeat or is there really a chance that they will be competitive? :naughty:
Seems dodge still has some catching up to do, but hopefully they will overcome!  :ylsuper: Rich.
