I was so glad to see Jeff win today. On the track, I think he looked a lot like the Jeff Gordon of old.

I also love Dale Jr, and if Jeff can't win, I will cheer for Jr

Jr had a 10th place finish!!!
Yeah, apparently that crew swap with Gordon and Jr. is starting to look like it paid off. Jr. got a top 10 and Gordon wins his first race since shep was a pup. JJ still finished in the top 5 though. Gonna be a long year!

Glad to see a Chevy win. Racin will never be the same without the intimidator though.

That where I don’t get it, how does he or anyone else think that is cool?

Would be like Barry Bonds also playing in minor league and HS games.
It would be called cheating by any team he was on. Be KB can go stomp on hard working rookies with his pro class teams and its makes him cool?

Of course he is gonna win all the time in those classes.

I'm not a KB fan, and I think that that is a good oberservation, and to take it a step further, what did he do when he couldn't walk all over the competition, he got frustrated and turned left into a guy (Edwards) who the day before had raced him cleanly.

I say you should only be allowed to run in 40 Nascar races a year, split however they like between the top 3 series. That gives a driver one full season and 4-15 races in the other two. That would effectively prevent Cup regulars from winning the lower tier championships (something that bothers me even more than a driver running 3 races a weekend), but still allow them to have an extra race or two at some of their favourite tracks or rookies to test the waters of the next tier.
