I remember reading somewhere that because of Dale Jr's accident in the Corvette back in 2004, Budweiser has asked him to limit his non-Cup races to a small number.  If he wants to do more Busch races, he has to ask Budweiser.  \n\nHe does do the majority of the plate races, but he's not running the Busch Daytona race this year, Truex is.  \n\nAs far as David Green, I would guess that he doesn't win because he's a one car Busch team without a Cup affiliation.  If you notice, all the winners this year have been Cup drivers who have Cup dollars invested in their Busch teams.  Mark my words...you won't have but only a handful of Busch only winners this year, if that many.

Yes!! I go to the 2 races here in Texas every year. I also make sure my schedule works around the races(crazy.. yup!).  Another question is who is your favorite driver and what race did you go to?

Dale Earnhardt Sr. Just look at his record. It explains everything.\n\nEarnhardt Jr. is going to be one the best as well. I think he will rank right along with his dad. He already has a great record and he still has his best years ahead of him.

--Mark Martin, because he's my favorite driver, and in my opinion the greatest driver to never win a NWCS/NNCS Championship (but he won five IROC championships, so he is obviously a great driver)\n--Terry Labonte. Who's going to argue with me?  He was the ultimate gentleman racer.\n--Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison--both future greats taken too soon.\n--Rusty Wallace--A racer's racer.  And, he gets bonus points for paying a fine for saying naughty words on TV in pennies!\nObviously, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Darrell Waltrip are all so huge that I don't even need to mention them to a group of fans!

I am happy that Tony Stewart keeps crashing, but not happy that my Gordon keeps crashing. And what do you mean by KEEPS CRASHING. this is the first time hes crashed into the wall this YEAR, honey. He is not a whiny spoiled brat...JR. is. The only reason Jr. is famous is b/c of his father. ONE WORD for dale Jr.= OVERRATED. \n\nBudweiser sucks a**\nDUPONT RULES The world FOREVER \n\nYou know nothing about Jeff Gordon, so you have no right to say hes whiny and spoiled. hes worked hard for everything he has, and he deserves all the success in the world. Just because he's not a SOUTHERN BOY- doesn't mean hes any less of a racer. IN FACT.... if Jeff Gordon left NASCAR today, he would go down in the books as one of NASCARS greatest drivers ever.

Davey was amuch better driver. He was the last of the old school racers. We lost a lot of entertainment when he died in the helicopter crash. It would have been Great to watch him for all these years. He was alot better than Jeff Gordon.

Hey girlie. I noticed that you ask this question a lot. Why?? When it keeps getting mentioned, its never going to go away. I think you should just stop mentioning it over and over. It just brings negative attention to this Motorsports category. And mostly non-Nascar fans answer with ridiculous answers. Real Nascar fans know the difference, but it just opens up a can of worms for people who know NOTHING about Jeff Gordon to bash him. Anyway, dont want to offend you- but I think this question has been asked way too many times. Here is my answer: (Again)\n\nI freaken hate when people say this. Here's the story STRAIGHT FROM JEFF GORDON:\n\nThis is a few paragraphs from 'JEFF GORDON: Racing Back to the Front-My Memoir' page 95(for those who are interested)\n\n"The more I won, the more fans I attracted, and the more people pulled against me. A lot of people loved that I was a young guy with a new team. Others might have thought I was destroying the fabric of the sport. This is when the first 'GORDON SUCKS' signs came out and the boo birds turned up again when I was introduced."\n\n"At some point during this time (I have no idea exactly when), anti-Gordon fans started passing around the rumor that I was gay. I can only guess that it had something to do with my driving a rainbow colored car. I also figure some folks took a joke Dale Earnhardt made during my rookie year out of context: I had been dating Brooke throughout the season, but because Winston employed her, we had to keep our relationship secret. After her stint as Miss Winston Cup ended, we came out at the banquet as a couple. Dale, being witty as ever, said, 'Whew, Im glad to see you've got a girlfriend. Some of us were beginning to wonder if you liked girls.' Of course, Dale and a lot of other drivers had known about Brooke for months, but they hadnt said anything out of respect for our privacy. Once we showed up in public together, Dale felt comfortable making a joke about it. I can only guess that a few folks took him seriously, and the rumors about my sexual orientation spread like wildfire."\n\n"The controversy(such that it was)never bothered me, but I was a bit puzzled by it. I'd like to think that if I were gay, I would be comfortable enough to say so and get on with my life. The fact is I'm not, and I never quite understood wh so many people wanted to believe otherwise."\n\nTHERE YOU GO PEOPLE...Get over it. He's not gay/if you dont like Jeff Gordon, sucks for you.

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!!

From Wikipedia:\n\n"Dale Earnhardt died on February 18, 2001, on the last lap of the Daytona 500. Earnhardt had what many thought was the best car throughout the race, as he led 17 laps and stayed at the front of the pack. But as Earnhardt saw the way the race was developing with his two drivers, one his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and the other a man he considered a brother, Michael Waltrip, it appeared Earnhardt backed off, trying to hold the pack at bay and let his two drivers decide the outcome. He decreased his speed to block the rest of the field when, in Turn 4, he was nudged by Sterling Marlin's bumper. It appeared Earnhardt had it saved but the car took off up the track. As it went up towards the wall it hit Kenny Schrader, which veered his car into a direct head on hit and severed the seat belt. Michael Waltrip went on to win his first race in over 400 races competed, and his son, Dale Jr. came in second. Earnhardt, who throughout his career let nobody get by him or stay in front of him, and did all he could to get by them including wrecking them, was killed on impact by massive head injuries trying to let another win. Coincidentally, the crash occurred at the same place where his good friend Neil Bonnett was killed. Because both crashes occurred as a result of a car dipping below the banking of the track onto the flat area (called the "apron" of the track) NASCAR implemented a new rule stating that in no instance is any car allowed to drive below the apron at Daytona, and at a similar track in Talladega, Alabama.\n\nHe is survived by his third wife Teresa and four children: Son Kerry (from his first marriage to Latane Brown), Kelley, Dale Jr. (both from his second marriage to Brenda Gee), and daughter Taylor (from his third marriage). Kerry and Dale Jr. are both NASCAR drivers. Dale Jr. finished second when his father died at the 2001 Daytona 500. The winner of that race, Michael Waltrip, was one of Dale's closest friends, and drove for DEI.\n\nThree weeks after Earnhardt's death, young California driver Kevin Harvick, who was hired to replace Earnhardt in the now-renumbered and repainted #29 GM Goodwrench Service Plus Chevrolet, scored a win at Atlanta. The Fox television commentators' call of the final lap of the 2001 Golden Corral 500, Harvick beating Jeff Gordon by .006 seconds, and the images of Earnhardt's longtime fueler, Danny "Chocolate" Myers, crying after the victory, are among the most memorable moments in recent U.S. motorsports history. Dale Earnhardt Jr. scored an emotional victory in the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway on July 7, 2001."

Why is everyone always comparing Jr to Dale, Sr?  He is NOT his father!!!  Give the kid a chance to be himself and earn his own reputation on HIS merits.  He's a darn good driver who has had a bad year but is now bouncing back.  He is Dale, "JR"  get it, he is NOT Dale "SR" so stop comparing them.

I can take DW in small doses.  Instead, I would bring back Bob Jenkins, Dr. Jerry Punch and the gang from ESPN.  They were doing races before the networks figured it out how to screw it up.  Good call on Ned Jarrett, though.  The "Dale and Dale show" is one of my favorite calls.  \n\nThe only ones I would keep full-time would be Alan Bestwick, Chris Myers, and Mike Joy.  I used to like Weber, but he is just a stooge now.  \n\nI know that they wouldn't fit into the "new face of NASCAR," but John Kernan, Bob Jenkins, and even Bob Varsha did a better job than the pretty faces on the Speed Report.  Bob Jenkins has a neat voice to listen to and you can tell how much he loves the sport.\n\nNot sure who I would pick for pit reporters besides Matt Yocum and Winston Kelly.  I don't listen to MRN/PRN much so I am not sure who they have on these days.

My favorite driver is Jeff Gordon. He was taught and mentored my the great Dale Earnheardt. I also like Dale Jr. They both drive Chevrolet's and they both have proven that they are world class drivers and performers who respect and greet their fans.
