I'll have it on the TV and the radio...I'll be in the garage and when something big happens, I'll run in real quick to see the replays and the drama.
For me, it's definitely not stock car racing anymore, and like the US, there is just too much policy and restrictions involved. However, I did watch the Shootout last weekend, and if the racing is going to be like that today, it'll be a great race. It was nice to see cars drop out of line and be able to make a pass without relying on another car (usually a teammate) to push them by. These COT's aren't the prettiest, but on the big tracks, it may make them a little more racier. The verdict is still out on the cookie-cutter tracks...I don't think anything they do will make a majority of those fun to watch. And, Bristol, although my favorite track, was extremely boring with the COT this past August. Not sure if that was the new surface or the new car. We'll see soon enough.
Although I would love to see a Mopar win the race, I generally cheer for certain drivers more than I do the manufacturer. There are certain guys out there who have a good attitude. In this category Dale jr is hard to beat. He has an amazing personality, and he's so down to earth. He makes a good winner, as do a few others out there like Carl Edwards.
Ever since Terry Labonte retired, I am still searching for a favorite driver. I do like Hendrick Motorsports b/c of the #5 car since Terry drove it for so long. It was tough watching Kyle Busch drive it, but since the crew chief is an old friend of mine, I still like that car. I'm not sure if Casey Mears has what it takes to become my favorite driver, but I certainly won't be cheering against it.
Happy racing to all! Hope your driver wins!
