Countdown to Daytona

Kyle vs Jr.

Another BRILLIANT commerical!



In fact, I have a bit of a bet wherein I have chosen Dale Jr as my hero for this race. He doesn't have to win, he just has to beat Kyle Busch. Seems highly likely yes? I'd like to hear opinions on this to boost my confidence.

Dodge has that problem with the nose. One hot dog wrapper on the front bumper and the car explodes. No good. But I like Ryan Newman a lot- I'm always happy when he does well.

Well, young Kyle came on big time last year and I fully expect him to continue his rise. Remember, his owner brought Gordon up and helped make him a star. I think KB has the nerves and skill to stay up. Jr. is one of the best and now that he has his crew chief back he should get back to where he was before the plunge, but talk is easy. KB vs DE Jr. just on the drivers I would take Jr. DEI vs Evernham Racing DEI has the history but Ever. is very good. We'll have to wait and see the outcome. Keep on countin'.

Awww...thanks for missing me! I was flying last night, missed my last connection and got stuck in Salt Lake for the night and was too tired and irritated to get on the internet given the crack of dawn flight I had to catch today to get where I needed to be on time. But I'm safe on the ground somewhere in Utah AND we're at

31 days 00 hours and 11 minutes....

Have a safe trip`

Hope yo have a great trip back to your home. Don't let the travel get you too far down. I know it can really get aggravating. I can't count forward let alone backwards so if you aren't handle to keep the count down posted, Kered or Isabeau will have to do it. Can't come up with a driver from Utah off the top of my head. Be safe.

Hey! I'm a Dodge Boy! Go Dodge !

Might be seeing some good things from Dodge this year. Some big changes at Petty Enterprises, for example. And of course Kurt Busch's taking over of the #2 car...I'm gonna say Dodge's best bets this year will be Newman, Kahne or Busch. Jamie McMurray just keeps falling short year after year- not sure what's up with that.........this is all IMHO of course. 🙂

Where is Michael Waltrip

I don't remember hearing who Michael Waltrip is driving for this year. Anyone know? And Kered, really nice save there.

Mikey got a ride with Bill Davis Racing and NAPA pulled out of their deal with DEI to follow him- a major sponsor for a small team like BDR. So Mikey will be in a Dodge rather than a Chevy and I'd guess if he does well he might be in the Top 20. BDR runs Toyota Tundras in the Craftsman Truck Series and Mikey will likely be one of the first cup drivers to sit in a Toyota when they introduce their Cup cars in 2007.

No matter who he races for or what he drives, you gotta love Mikey, el presidente de Nascar

MW and DW

That will be interesting to watch. Doesn't DW drive the Toyota Truck for BDR? Who will replace Jr. in the NAPA comercials? DW? Kasey? What was that 20 something days now until racing?

Thanks. Just don't make my mistakes! She's highly intellegent and cat quick!

Darrell owns a CTS team that runs Toyota Tundras. He doesn't drive anymore. I think David Reutimann drove for him last year. I don't know a whole lot about the truck series. I do know Darrell was going to run one race, but he failed to qualify (D'OH!)

I don't think anyone can replace JR in the NAPA commercials. I think Mikey is the tv talent anyway. Guys like Michael Waltrip and Kenny Wallace aren't great drivers and sit in their brothers' shadows, but they are excellent spokesmen for their sponsors. They're both such nuts and the fans love them.
