I'm not as big of a fan as I used to be. It just hasn't been the same for me since Dale got killed. I guess the only races I absolutely can't miss anymore are the Daytona 500, Firecracker 400 (or whatever sponsor does the July 4 race now), Brickyard and the night race at Bristol at the end of August. I would absolutely love to take a car out onto that track in Bristol.
When I do watch, I'm pulling for Dale Jr.
I do have the shootout on the tube right now though. I try to watch that every season as well as the twin qualifying races.

I'm so excited that NASCAR is back. I bleed orange and have always been a die-hard Tony Stewart fan. I also pull for Kurt Busch. I'm glad the shootout is on tonight and Daytona next week is gonna be great!

Well, at least it was an exciting finish I guess. Of all 43 cars in the race, the 29 is the last one I wanted to win the thing. Can't stand Kevin Harvick. And to think he won the thing on the anniversary of Dale's death about makes me want to get sick.
After Dale Jr. and Tony Stewart were eliminated from contention I was really hoping that Mark Martin could pull it out. Now that he drives a Chevy I can root for him.
Really hoping that before all is said and done though that Kenny Schrader can pick up a win someplace.
OMG, I can't stand Harvick.

I wouldn't necessarily say the 29 was the last one I wanted to win the race..that honor belongs to the 48 (wrecked by his own teammate..lol). I've been a Mark Martin fan since he was driving the Folgers car. The 29 win was ok, I was glad to see RCR win another 500, but damn I'm disappointed that Mark lost by .02 seconds

I was really cheering for Mark to pull out with a win after my boys took each other out. I did cheer when the 48 wrecked Can't fricken stand ol JJ. That commercial today with him and Sadler pretty much sums up Johnson.
I also was glad to see Bowyer climb out of the 07 after sliding across on his roof. Had me concerned. But it was a good race all in all.

So how about Jr's descission ?
My bet he starts out with Gibbs or(then) RCR for the chance to race the 3 again in his dad's memory what's all your opinions

I'm a big fan of Junior but I'm just not ready for the 3 car to be raced again. Not by Junior or anybody else. That was Dale's car and that's how I want to remember it. I'm sure it would be a remarkable tribute, especially if Junior were to win in it but it's going to be quite some time before I'm ready to see it out there on the track again.
Not sure if Gibbs will go for the Budweiser sponsorship.
