Any NASCAR fans on here?

He said he doesn't like you, either.

Got my tix for Darlington and tix to the Martinsville Fall race. I am one of those who pulls for the underdog. I am/was a big Geoff Bodine fan and then a Johnny Benson fan. I was at the Rockingham race when Johnny won his one and only Cup race. Rockingham was a great place to see a race. Still like Benson in the trucks.

I guess I am pulling for McMurray this year and like Mark Martin because he gives us oldsters a good name. I would really like to see Martin win a championship before he really, really retires.

Ditto.

My husband was a huge Rusty Wallace fan while he was still racing. I never liked Rusty much as a driver but I really enjoy listening to him as a commentator. My former favorite driver was Jeremy Mayfield - too bad he self-imploded.

These days we both usually cheer on Tony "Smoke" Stewart, although I also like Carl Edwards which drives the hubby nuts. Not a big fan of the Busches, Harvick, Johnson, J. Gordon.

Yeah I guess the 92 octane the young lady was smellling on Jeremy in his old commercial was from cutting the crystal meth. Sorry, I liked Jeremy, too. It is a shame he dove headlong off the cliff. Hopefully he won't end up like Tim Richmond.

Cryle Schrub....wah wahh. SHUUUUUUT UPPPPP.

Wish Joey would have stepped up...but at least it wasn't the 18 or 48 winning.

I loved the Rock. I really miss North Wilkesboro, though. You outta see that track now. I think the last race on that track was in 96'. I saw recent photos of it, and it looks like a ghost track, now. Grass has grown through the track, where the fans once sat, all over. They should bring it back. I liked it because it was actually more like uphill and downhill short track racing. I agree. I really would like to see Martin win a Cup. He came close last year.

This was a great track.

ETA: And Jeff won the last race there too.

I like it when Kyle wins but not Jimmie. When Jeff retires, I'm switching to Kyle as my driver. I knew he was going to be good when he was racing in the Busch series (before it was sponsored by Nationwide)

Did anyone get to see Jr. drive the 3?

Is anyone keeping up with the Chase? It starts Sunday. Who's going to win it? Trust me, it will be Jimmie's 5th in a row.
