I am Jeff Gordon fan. I love going to see my Redskins play, but there is nothing that compares to going to a race. I usually try to make the June Dover race, but will not be going this year

cronxitawney said:By better you mean they are participating in some races this year, right?
What looks bad (to me) is that JGR basically stepped into Toyota and is running great, something Waltrip's camp hasn't been able to do after a year of practice with those cars. Probably more to do with the processes and knowledge that JGR has that could be applied to any platform than anything else. They have pretty decent drivers, too.bigjohnmilford said:They (Waltrip racing) just don't seem to have the cup cars figured out as well yet.

bigjohnmilford said:A friend of mine is a huge Tony fan and was ready to kill himself when they switched. I told him to relax. They were one of the best teams when they were the number 3 Chevy team. As soon as they switched they became the number 1 Toyota team. They had everything in place already and it wasn't the first time they had switched manufacturers. Gibbs is really showing what they are made of and Hendrick must be kicking himself for letting Kyle go. Mears will be lucky to make the race this weekend. Man I love racing. It's almost the weekend.
cronxitawney said:Mears is within the top 35, so I believe he will be in the race. Given his awesome performances at Martinsville in the past, he has a good chance of being outside the top 35 on Monday.

RICLARK said:I think its funny that JR is the only Hendrick car that is doing anything which brings me to the question, Do you think JR is better that Gordon and that other #48 idiot??
bigjohnmilford said:You can't even consider him in that class until he wins a title. I'm glad to see he's doing well though. He's got the talent and he's showing it. He should have a good shot this weekend. He's due for a win on a short track.
Well, one major difference is the engines. Apparently that was a weakness in the Toyota program last year, where they made hp, etc. JGR certainly has that aspect figured out, I'd say.devaspawn said:I was concerned at first as well until I remembered that essentially all these cars are the same. The difference being the money to buy the best parts and to hire the best guys, as well as the drivers. I agree, Hendrick can't be very happy. I am not a Jr. fan (although I liked the Intimidater) so I am happy to see that the only race he won this season had no points assigned to it!

RICLARK said:I agree on the JR response, I call Hamlin to win sunday he has had some severe bad luck all season and has been itching to win at Martinsville ever since he got up here plus he runs good there.
bigjohnmilford said:nice call
RICLARK said:Thank you, I think jr will pretty much dominate at texas next week.
bigjohnmilford said:He does know how to get around there. I do beleive that's where he got his first win. I think the 18 will have a good shot. He won Atlanta so I think he'll have another good run at Texas. I can hardly wait a couple of more weeks for Dega.
RICLARK said:I forgot Dega was the week after Texas. I could see JR going back to back. When is Richmond? I can see him winning there as well.
RICLARK said:~Smoke~ Hasn't won in a while and he can win on any track so He is a good possibility as well.
Baron von BeeGee said:This has really been an interesting year so far, with a lot of parity between the (major) teams and the mfrs.
I imagine he was just thinking to himself..."so this is what it's like to die..."Emanresu said:yeah, watched that wreck live on tv, that was something else. it blows my mind watching it that someone was actually in there flipping around like that, think he kept his eyes open?
