New for Nextel Cup in 2007

Well it looks like the first official drivers/teams have announced they're switching.

Mikey Waltrip is forming a new team Michael Waltrip Racing.Looks like he and current team mate Dave Blaney will make up the new two car team.Can't wait to see who else.

i'm just glad i was a fan that got to enjoy racing when it was a great sport. sr must be spinning in his grave.

i saw some stuff on TV saying that the pickup trucks popularity was due to the disaperence of the "muscle cars" of the 70's so the auto makers are bringing them back.....and we'll be able to drag race for pink slips again...

I think that nascar has and is doing alot of things to make the sport worse but I don't think that allowing Toyota in is one of them. Also, alot of their problems, or at least what I think are their problems, aren't really their fault but are a result of the sport's total reliance on sponsors.

Just proves that anybody will do anything for money. The night races are good, I enjoy those, so I can go fishing and not miss a race.


How many races are we up to?

It takes 8 million just to get to the track and have a chance of getting in the race every weekend. Roush has what a 90 million program for Nextel? It's unreal the amount of money, it's almost as bad if not worse then pro Football. The sponsors drive it all.

I like the night races too but I've had the opposite experience when it came to fishing. I missed the end of most of the night races last year because I was out in the surf.

Love Nascar but fishing takes priority.

Haven't missed a race since the first flag to flag in '79.

Man I've been a witness to it all.

Now, what I would really like is Race Night at a R/C nascar track. I haven't put together a nitro r/c nascar car. I think it would be awesome. Nobody does that around here.

F1 kills me after 50 laps I am toasted, but good for the wrists!!

With only race at the Glen and Sonoma you're not likely to see a night race.But never say never and you damn know who to look for to win it!

[striperman36]

Yeah, I think Robby will do a lot better this year.
