Hi `Brent, Duane & MCF Nascar Fans.....
The Track looks great & I predict a fast super race......

Off and running

The two-day test at Daytona has ended with the general consensus by Goodyear and drivers that the tire compound expected to run on the new surface will be successful.

Great to read the news about Dale `jr : )

Delicate balance

Giving Dale Earnhardt Jr., in essence, the 24 team and putting him in the same shop as the 48 offers the best chance of a comeback if, as David Caraviello writes, the housing arrangement doesn't drag down five-time champ Jimmie Johnson.
