I don't know why people are still picking Jeff Gordon. Is anyone picking him who has already picked him this year? How'd that work out for you? I got nothing against the guy. And he has a great Talladega record. But I'm not touching him with a 10 foot pole! Even Kahne is in better shape now.
But this race is obviously for Jr. And Jimmie will work with him on that - I think he's a team player who knows he still owes him one. Junior leaves Talladega with the points lead. Or he finally has a crap race and wrecks - he is overdue.
1. Dale Jr.
2. Jimmie Johnson
3. Greg Biffle

77GP, as long as you're comfortable, so are we.
Junior is overdue for a win or a bad race.... either one. He has been lucky at Talladega for so long. If he wasn't poitns racing iwth Jimmie last year he may have won, who knows.
I don't put much on the forum about my private life, but I will tell you that this is my last week as an undergraduate college student. I'm doing my student teaching right now. I finish up on Friday, no finals. Portfolio is alreayd turned in, I'm just riding the clock out.
Next week at Darlington is a big one for me. Those of you who know me know Darlington is one of my top 3 favorite races of the year, and May is my favorite month of racing. With Talladega now in May, that just makes it even better. Not a bad race at all this month!!! And to cap ti all of on, on the morning of the Darlington race, I turn the tassel and graduate from college.

The controversy that surrounds Talladega is insane.
1991 Winston 500, Harry Gant wins a controversial race on fuel mileage because his teammate was pushing him around the track. Darrell Waltrip protested the race. However, his brakes had gone out and his pit crew had used the spoiler to stop the car coming into the pits. It was 10* too low, and NASCAR asked him after telling him his car was illegal if they still wanted him to do something about Gants win and he said "Let it go."
The announcers go crazy about how this is illegal.

IT was the site of where Bobby Allison crashed into the catch fence, and his son went on to win the race.

A video doesn't exist, but Bobby Issac once climbed out of a race car here while leading claiming a voice kept telling him to get out of the car. I think that was 1971, and he climbed out of that car scared to death.
This is a race full of crazy events. The fans are more rowdy. The racing is more intense. It is an experience to watch. This is Talladega.
