That's what I thought....
Got to know know this is the style of car Dale jr excells in!

Just like they basically were back in 2001 season ... When he won...

Old school... great drafting is possible... and hes got the speed.. last practice I watched today he was 3rd quickest behind stewart and danica....

They're not "just like" the old car... they're more similar, but they're not the same.

In that case, Jeff Gordon ought ot kick *** too. It may be a while before drivers start figuring out exactly what to do with this car and we start seeing drivers "excel" in the new car.

Work kept me from noticing the pole picks deal before qualifying. But my race picks are as follows:

Dale Jr
Biffle
Harvick

Truck race was fun to watch. I'll miss the Nationwide race though.

Classic NASCAR Photos of the Day:


Tiny Lund in the 1968 Daytona 500.

Ingo Giske negatives series...

And then Cale Yarborough in the pits, 1969-1970. Telprompter was a major closed circuit broadcaster of these races. You went to certain restaurants, bars, etc. and watched the race via Teleprompter.


Has the look of a Don Hunter to it...
