Anyone hear if Jr. has a new crew chief yet ?
Just wondering with the 500 right around the corner [:)]

1. The "Daytona Mafia" (ISC/DIS) will continue to build their monopoly on American racing and try to put any other sanctioning body that competes with them out of business (while their T.V. ratings and attendance figures continue to drop).
A. Tony George will continue to be a "puppet" as well for the ISC/DIS chronies.
That's about it.[}:)]
Jr's got something to prove.
TOYOTAs in NASCAR ???
That's unAmerican !!

I have tickets & pit passes to Daytona on Feb 18th...can't wait. Other than that I usually go to at least one of the Dover races.
My predictions for this race season are as follows:

I predict the TV will be on watching something else. No way am I watching Toyota Nascar.
I like Waltrip and Schrader the best. Neither will win a race this year.
Anybody dis'ing Toyota better remember that Ford lost 12.7 BILLION dollars last year. They stand a very good chance of going under or being bought out by Toyota.
Hundai, Honda and Kia will join NASCAR at some point in the future too.
Don't watch much Nascar, though I've been to Bristol several times and really enjoyed it. What about Juan Montoya? Does he have a good car and team? If he doesn't do well it won't be because he can't drive, he was one of the better drivers in F1, which makes him one of the best drivers in the world.
The problem with Montoya is not his driving skills, its the fact that he doesn't know what the car is doing. He can't tell people that I need to have this set up or that set up. This is why he has jumped so many ships through CART and F1.
So as a Ford guy I will step out on a limb and say that Ricky Rudd is going to be in the chase and battle with a Roush car for the championship at the end, with Fords comming in 1 & 2.
I should be going to all the races at Lowes this year if all works out right.
On TV if it isn't on a roadcourse, or burning Nitro, it isn't worth watching.
If I'm going to attend, I prefer real stockcar racing IE: local boys on short tracks www.whittemorespeedway.net is my local track although AutoCity Speedway, Merrit Speedway and Dixie Speedway are fairly close also.

+1 I sponsor four dirt cars, two UMP Late Models, two UMP Modifieds.

I guess that's possible, though I have a hard time picturing someone who has made it to the top of the game, with six or seven F1 wins and many podiums, that doesn't know setup.
