Congrat's to Dale Jr for winning at an improbable track for him and Chevy yesterday.

He had a win stolen from him a few of weeks ago, so winning this one by fuel strategy seems poetic to me.

OK, now he's got one win under the belt, let's start racking up some W's to go into the Chase with!

Woo Hoo 88!!!!

I compare Jr. fans to Dallas Cowboy fans. They both think they are the best with having done very little. For the Cowboy fans I mean recently, and the Jr. fans I mean for his career.

To put it into even more perspective, he's won only one more race than me in the last 76. To be fair, though, he's had many more blown engines and flat tires than I have.

Yeah, I was worried Jr's engine was going to CHOKE at the end of the race. That would have hurt. Imagine CHOKING when it comes time to put up or shut up. Gee I wonder what NFL team CHOKED in a really big Bowl game this past season. But I'm sure that CHOKES you up just thinking about it.

Dale Jr is the Danica Patrick of NASCAR. Gets lots of attention due to circumstances, and doesn't produce a lot of results.

So what exactly is a pace car for? Anything for the princess of NASCRAP. If that would have been Smoke he would have had that victory taken away.

I really don't know what you are referring to, but being I live in Charlotte, we'll talk about that next time I'm up at the lake. lol
