NASCAR Testing?

Anyone else excited that Daytona testing started last night ? Can't wait for the season to start. Hopefully RCR will put some more competative cars on the track this year as the last two seasons have been disappointing. Hopefully the new fords have some issues too since I'm getting sick of Roush's recent successes.

With all the hillbillies and rednecks on this site I don't understand how you can never get any interest in a Nascar thread.

I'm looking forward watching the large crop of rookies at Daytona as well as the new teams that will be trying to make the race. It should make qualifying and the 125's fun to watch. Rusty Wallace will be missed but I'm sure we'll see our share of colorful interviews with him at the track. I think the 500 will get ugly quick with so many young drivers in the field.

oh yeah! "redneck hilbillies" i resemble that remark. you are damn right i am looking forward to the 06 season! i never try to keep nascar threads going, because either noone responds or you just get the normal idiots that want to bash drivers, and have no intelligent conversation about the sport. 5 (although it should be 6) in 06!

Daytona?

Anyone care to make a prediction for Daytona. I have a hard time choosing anyone but Stewart. Johnson's my driver but I've seen him spin out or wreck someone else on the last few laps too many times at plate tracks. I hope the DEI and Childress cars are able to run up front because they make the plate tracks alot more interesting.

Any former weekend thunder fans here? I would have to "Thunder Jinx" Greg Biffle for the 500. The last Subway commercial with the "fresh toasted sandwiches" is a little to disturbing.

I go to the Sept.Louden race every year for the entire weekend.

I used to go to Daytona every year but quit going in '03 but expenses were high and it kinda started becoming a hassle.

Dover is a great track to watch a race. I hope to get back there soon. I wish they would take down that bridge/unispan.
