I know I sure would hate to be held responsible for what my dad did. It would not be nice, he was a lieing, cheating, gambling drunk. He skipped out on my life when I was three.
None of them are perfect and neither was Dale but he also did a lot for the sport.

And Space, I know he's proud of Jr.
They ALL, even yucky Montoya,have to have exceptional talent or they wouldn't be there.
Did anyone notice how much weight Tony gained in three months? And what's with the hair?

I couldn't agree more Space. I don't like the new format or cars. I liked it more back when the cars looked like street cars, now they all look the same. Motors are basically the same too. Might as well be IROC.

My son used to race go karts

Well said Manny. I picked my driver many years ago too, around '83ish when I started watching NASCAR. One guess who that might've been, . It was only natural to support his son after "that" day.

For me, NASCAR started changing long beforeBig Edied....I remember going to Bristol and camping for free, and being able to walk around outside the track and talk to the guys in the haulers 3 or 4 days before the races....now you can't get too close after the track closes.....camping runs around $200 and $5 per shower.....I have 2 sets of seats but only sell them and don't go anymore....Bristol changed to no smoking effective this year, sonow my wife would not attend even if I payed her....Charlotte camping used to be free, and you could camp all around the track, now VIP parking takes up alot of what used to be camping and I haven't been since 98 so I don't know how much the fee is for camping....I am going to start going to dirt track racing, since I live near (50 miles from) Bulls Gap....the world fastest 1/2 mile dirt track....all the big boys come and it is alot like old times. MONEY AND GREED spells NASCAR. I stillcheer for Little E....[:@][:@]

Earnhardt was opposed to big changes... he said NASCAR ahd a good, working formula, and it should not be changed just to try to bring in more bucks. I agree with him now. I see Dale Sr. as being STRONGLY opposed to this COT.

I used to be a Tony fan.. until 2002 when he started being a real jerk, or atleast hwen I noticed he was that way. I do not like that hair either.

NASCAR claims that this year, they think htey have made enough changes, and they will not be making anymore large changes for a little while. We'll see how long that holds up. NASCAR said taht when drivers get to be misbehaving too much, they would crack down. But they are going to lighten up on that and let the drivers be more of themselves this year as well. Thye claim that passions are part of NASCAR, and they will begin ot let the passionate fights go to an extent. (I think this might have something ot do iwth the spiraling ratings because of the Harvick/Montoya battle at Wakins Glen)

BTW, did you guys hearthe rumors about how Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch had a discussion in the NASCAR hauler that got "physically escalated"? They talked about this in the pre-race to the Bud Shootout.


O, and 'Space, due to inflation, a picture is now worth TWO thousand words. o.O
