I had heard the dodge charger had a balance problem\nfront to rear last year, and now it was fixed. It looks like\nwere going in to the Chrysler dominated racing of the 60's\npetty era.If they put there German engineering racing\nformula giants in to the mix team it and pool it and pull\npeople in on there products together and unify them,they will dominate. If they can keep it out of the Charlotte click\nour Earnhardt,Gordan's,Johnson's will just have to get used to\nbeing in the middle of the pack or go German/dodge.

Well, I'm not much for Instant Messaging "strangers", especially over something as relatively insignificant as whether we are Bobby Labonte fans, but, yes, I am a Bobby Labonte fan.  He's from Corpus Christi, Texas where I spent the first seven or eight years of my life.  I'm sorry that I won't see him ranking any higher in NASCAR Nextel Cup standings with what's left in his career because he deserves it.  I don't know much about his NASCAR standing history since my interest in NASCAR has been revived only 5 or 6 years ago, but he's a good man and I'm glad to see him do well.  I just don't think racing with the Petty's is a winning proposition at this time.  Enjoy watching him.  He's a good man and a great NASCAR racer.

k..let me get on my box for a second. \nyes, i'm getting very annoyed with a lot of things, including fellow nascar fans. \nthe haters/basher will always be there. oh well, their loss. they are missing out on a great thing. i am amused that they find it in their time to deal with something they claim to hate so much.. personally, i have better things to do with my time than focus on something i do not enjoy. to me, it's easier to let it slide off my back then to get annoyed with it. they have no impact on my life and i can watch my tv or sit at a track w/o their approval so i can happily go aklong my merrily nascar way.  however, you have to look at what some fans are putting out there to the public. i say some, b/c i know there are still some TRUE fans out there.\n\nfirst, let's get something straight: nascar is about racing. it's not about sex. so can we please of the love of all things holy in racing stop throwing underwear at driver's like jr or kasey kahne. yeah, we got it..some people think they are easy on the eyes. pretty does not pay the bills unless you are dancing on tables. driver are drivers. they are there for the talent and the sport. let's stop demeaning them like a freakin' piece of grade a meat. now, as i said, yes, there are some that are easy on the eyes. i lvoe tony, i think he's gorgeous, but if he could drive a car i wouldn't hae one piece of #20 gear.. if fans put it out there like it's all about something so shallow people will take that and use it.\n\nsecond things are getting just ugly inside the sport. personally, i'm getting really extremely tired of everyne being ridiculous about the rivalries. i mean, yes, there are rivaliries and you can bag on other driver's a bit..but in the past years it has gotten to the extreme. it's gone from my driver can outdriver you driver.. to your driver is a lying cheating, homesexual, whinng scumbag..and it's just not nescessary. \npeople just can't admit when they are outraced, and it's irritating. i mean when someone besides their driver wins it becomes a matter of cheating an blah blah blah.. how about you just admit that you got outraced on that one. every driver would rather win against the best and have it be considered as a good win b/c they truly outraced.. and every driver would rather lose to a good driver than one who just got lucky. \nit's getting really disgusting that people are like wishing harm, actual bodily harm on other driver's..Now that's just plain sick and wrong.\nseriously, my two favorite driver's are probably on the top of the hate list..so i've gotten used to it over the years..but i still think it's gone way overboard and really makes me want to be escorted out of the tracks in handcuffs. i mean some people just need their stupidy stuffed right down their throats sideways.. \n\nnow we take all that and put it out there for the non nascar people to view and what do you think thy are going to take from it?? it's all about representing things better. \nk i will jump off my box now..thanks.

Yes. But you can't let Gordon off of the hook either. They are not communicating and Letarte doesn't have a clue as to how to improve a race car. But Jeff is (all of the sudden) awful at adapting to changes. They need a new, experienced, winning crew chief (Hendrick can afford it) who can work with and if  need be, stand up to Gordon. No more of this hireing from within. It hasn't worked since Ray Evernham. And Loomis was a looser with Petty motorsports. Why in the h*** did they think he could win with Hendrick.

I went to the race in Martinsville just a couple of weeks ago, and to a certain extent, you are right. It used to be a very enjoyable experience. Now, it's kinda iffy. Way too many people are crammed into the little bleachers and the weather can be tricky in April. Since the NASCAR season goes almost all year long, there are some times when you fry at a racetrack and there are some times when you throw snowballs at each other. I go to see the speed and smell the exhaust. Two things that the TV cameras cannot bring into my home. I have always said that alcohol should be banned inside gates, but that may never happen because of the promotion of beers on the track. However certain tracks (like Charlotte) have a section of grandstands that are "family friendly"; no smoking or drinking in those areas. You may want to look into those next time.

I hate Jeff Gordon too.  I like Earnhardt, so yeah, I would've punched her.

What the flip!! omg why? why would some one say that? i seriously cant belive it i mwan it was one of the worst tragedy ever and well read this http://www.nascar.com/2003/kyn/history/daytona/02/14/daytona_2001/ and that is just enough to make you cry and feel. and whoever said that i know that every nascar fan and even those who arent will seriously not wish your death but pray for you and your heartlessness.

Amen, Brother! You score BIG points with me for mentioning David, Bobby, and Davey. I miss Cale, too.\n   I find myself missing televised races a lot more these days: I don't much care for the current crop of rude, foul-mouthed juvenile delinquents(The Busch boys, Tony Stewart, etc.) Jeff Gordon is in a separate class by HERself.\n    I like Kahne, Edwards, and Biffle, though.\n    What really gets my goat is when they talk about '60's and '70's races and refer to them as Nextel Cup races instead of Winston Cup races.\n    I think France and Helton are selling out the fans who built NASCAR in favor of TV ratings and advertising dollars. The audience they are attracting now are fickle, and will soon turn from NASCAR to the Next Big Thing, mark my words. I raise a glass to you, friend.

Harder tires combined with resurfacing is making the track very different than last year. Look at qualifying order. Some of those guys got lucky and probably will not last the first 100 laps. I have a bad feeling that there are going to be a lot of big wrecks and a lot of upset drivers after this race. Plus, it starts when it's light out and goes well into dark, so that is also going to change the track conditions and car set up. Things will change during practice, too. It will be a good one to watch. I can't wait!!!

I agree totally! People, shes not saying postpone the race till Monday. All she is saying is what I was thinking. That is why not wait since they have daylight till 8:30 at night to finish the race. I mean come on they stopped how many times for rain delays and then when the race started getting good they called it instead of waiting an hour or so to finish it. But I am with you totally that they should've waited and at least let them go another pit cycle if they could've. I have not seen that many strong cars running at the end like that. Kasey,Carl Edwards, Junior and even my man Kenseth after a crappy day was sitting in 12th and who knows what he had left. I think they were way too quick to call it. But I do think they should've have said once its too dark too race that's it but they had already reached the halfway point so racing on Monday was out of the question no matter what.

Probably because they have never got to truly "experience" Nascar!  It isn't some peoples cup of tea.  Me personally, I love Nascar, and don't think it's a hillbilly sport!  I would like to see any of the haters go through the strain those drivers go through every week, it's a lot tougher than it looks.  Let's send them for a Richard Petty driving experience, I hope Yahoo! is paying!

Numbers don't like.  Jimmie Johnson is stellar at Lowe's Motor Speedway.  He has won the last 4 points races there, and added the All-Star race to his resume Saturday night.  This is his track, and he is the man to beat.  If he doesn't get caught up in a wreck or have some mechanical issue with his car, he will win the race.  I do think that the new surface will cause problems for many of the teams, as was evident in the Nextel Open and the All-star race Saturday night.  I don't think their will be as many cautions as there was last year.  Goodyear has brought a tire to the race that is harder than anything the drivers have ever run before, and it seems to have alleviated most of the problems the cars might have on the new surface.  And on a side note, to the person who tells us to turn to Superbike or F1 for "real" racing, please don't make unfounded unintelligent comments on something you know nothing about.  Last time I checked, F1 was dominated by only those teams willing to put hundreds of millions of dollars into their cars and programs.  You can have a guy with all the talent in the world who simply can't compete b/c he isn't backed sufficiently in regard to his finances.  There is so much more competitiveness involved in NASCAR when you factor in the finite mechanical aspects of the car.  And if F1 is so superior to NASCAR, then why can't a road course specialist (F1 or Indy car drivers) outrun NASCAR regulars on road courses such as Infineon or Watkins Glenn and win those races as a handful of such drivers attempt to do on both tracks each time NASCAR runs there?

I can't believe 48 won another restrictor plate race. I hope Nascar finds something illegal on his car and penalize him. Are the 17, 26, 99 team mates, cause they don't drive like they are.

Ok   you were doing good for a while... but Tony Stewart, Harvick, and Jr. do not belong  \n\nJr although a fan fav has not performed in cup series and would definatly have to win a championship or at least be on top of his game for another 8-10 years to even be considered!\n\nHarvick is up and comming  but he is another one who has not been conststant in cup. I think we can all agree that he can dominate busch but cup is the big game and no matter how much i like him  I would need to see more from him before consideration.\n\nTony Stewart would probably be your only arguement with me... he is very in-consistant  yes he can win like 6 races in a row, but the rest of the year he sucks!! He does although have 2 championships and i guess no matter how much i don't think he deserves them  that that alone would put him in contention...\n\nYou did However leave out  Dale Sr., Richard Petty, Sterling Marlin, Darrel Waltrip, and many more Old Timers that deserve recognition!!

All we can do is pray. It seems there are not that many of us GORDON fans out there but I will always stand up for it. Here's some good news, go to NASCAR.COM this sunday and they are letting anyone log on and listen to Gordon's radio transmissions the entire race. That's what I call getting as close as you can get!

Kurt is creating his own trouble sometimes.  Kyle Busch is more snake-bit, I think. \n\nI miss Buckshot.. only cuz the "00" was so fitting for Roy.

Yes, I think he is driving way to aggresive. There was no reason for him to duck down and hit Kenseth like that. Although it was funny when Kenseth got his revenge! lol. And yes, I do like Nemechek, not my favorite but he pretty kool
