I know it sounds bad but I seriously want a new driver. I like Ryan Newman and Clint Bowyer but if one or both is a die-hard Skins, Eagles, Giants fan then I don't want to do what I did with Jr.

And this makes sense. Jr. never wins, Redskins never win. Why didn't I see this all along???

If you're a Jr. fan, you should remain a Jr. fan. Just take the ribbing that he sleeps with the enemy.

I HATE the Redskins. Besides I'm only 16 so it's not like I've been a Dale fan for too long.

another snooze fest today. Looks like freaking open wheel racing the way everyone's racing so nice. Nascar is going to have to start throwing imaginary yellows with a few laps left again or Kyle Busch needs to run over some people. Something. I've been a Nascar fan my whole life and I'm ready to stop watching.

I can look past him being a Redskins fan. I still <3 him. A good football rival never heart anyone, but if I had to choose to watch him race or watch the Cowboys, I'll watch the Cowboys.

Boy he really is diehard. He stood up for Rex Grossman!!! I'm shocked he doesn't race for Joe Gibbs!!

I love my Cowboys, but when we had some bad QB's I was hoping they would get sacked and the backups would get a chance at some playing time.

Jr. hasn't actually raced to a win in well over half a decade.

He won the race spin how you wish others have won races in simular fashion and it is still a win.

I agree

I really enjoyed watching Biffle run Johnson down for the win at Texas but you are right that Kansas was boring. I also hated the way it ended in Martinsville with Johnson and Gordon getting hosed because of the late caution. I love watching cars battle on the track but I hate to see a strong run be handicapped by a caution.

I thought it was a decent race last night. The Busch brothers really own Richmond.

[jimmy40]

Talladega, hopefully pack racing all day. Oh, and where's the outrage for Danica running Sam Hornish into the wall on the cool down lap yesterday at 160 MPH?

[TheCowboy]

Great race! Another reason why I think Talladega is the 2nd best track of all. Tough day for Ryan Newman. Huge hit for Jeff Gordon. I think this race makes him have a 70% chance of not making the chase.

Darlington getting ready to kick off. One of my favorite races of the year. Hope Mark Martin does well.

[Risen Star]

Boogity, boogity, boogity....let's go racing, boys!

(And Miss Patrick)

[TheCowboy]

Darlington isn't my favorite. I know the history and all that but honestly it's a normal oval track.

[Risen Star]

Looks like Kurt Busch lost his temper again last night which led to a near brawl between the 51 and 39 teams.

That dude is thisclose to being kicked out of Nascar. Which would be a shame considering his talent.
