8 POINTS!!!!! Not gonna happen again this year, but I'm worried about Jeff, I've got a feeling he's gonna have an even better year than last year.[/quote]
my parent's are big fans of Gordon. Needless to say they were extremely disappointed with the outcome as well (though they do like Johnson a lot as well)

I wonder how the swap of Waltrip's and Earnhart's crews is going to affect DEI.
personally I do not agree with that move as , they mess around with their crews way too much

Oh but as any Earnhardt Jr. fan will tell you it wasn't cause Jeff won it was cause it ended under caution... And yes, that is sarcasm dripping off of that statement.

I was a big Dale Sr. fan. I am now a jr. fan but I think it's mainly because I was lost when dale died (I know, it sounds stupid). I disagreed with the reactions of the fans. I like Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and Robbie Gordon. I'm hoping Robbie has a good breakthrough year.

I can hardly wait until Saturday. I hate the end of the NASCAR season, because I end up missing it, because football takes honors over NASCAR in the fall. I hopeing Bobby Labonte can rebound from last years horrible season just as Mark Martin did last year. I hope Kurt Busch doesnt make the Chase this year. Does anyone like that guy?

All I have to say is I really hate Gordon. I've never figured out why, I just do. And I've always strayed more away from Junior. There's too many Junior fans. I like him and all, but there's just sooooo many. When I went to Dover, it was like Junior overboard. I'll stick with my boy, Tony. How can I not go with a guy who beats up photographers and drives down pits the wrong way when he's pissed off? Tony Stewart is the 
ing man. Though I've slowly become a bigger Jimmie Johnson fan. Though someone instantly makes me their fan by being a driver from the South driving a Chevy. There's only one non-Chevy driver I will opely admit to liking, and that's Kenseth.

How about preseason predictions for 05 Champ: My vote goes to Kevin Harvick now that RCR has gotten rid of Robby Gordon and has more expirenced teammates Jeff Burton (who will suprise people this year if he races like he did in the end last year) and Dave Blaney. I still pulling for the 18 bunch.

I'm hoping this is a rebound year for Jeff Burton. I have been a fan of his since his rookie year in 94 and the last few years have been depressing. I just found some magazines from 98 that have Jeff on the cover and the caption reads The Next Winston Cup Champ. Maybe be this is the year?
My wife is a huge Harvick fan so our house is now an RCR stronghold.

[quote name='RedvsBlue']Jimmie won the Bud Shootout and the outside pole this weekend. Now that we've seen a little preview any picks for daytona? I'm a little worried about Dale Jarrett, he seems very determined.[/quote]
I kind of hope he gets things back on track. Kind of like how I hope Ricky Rudd pulls it together again, as it is nice to see some older guys competing well.
also, anyone think Mark Martin is going to pull it together and win the championship? My dad hates Mark Martin, but I think he has enough in the tank to win the championship and get over the royal screwing he got early in his career

I would love to see Mark Martin finally get a championship. I've always liked him, and he's been so close before, I really think he deserves to get one in his career. That being said, I'm not really sure he has what it takes to keep up with all of the younger racers in NASCAR today; I think the last couple of years have shown that it's going to be a challenge for anyone from the older generation of drivers to keep up with the newer generation. Man, if only Dale Earnhardt was still around, he could show the kids a thing or two. But anyway, even if I'm not sure of his chances, I hope that Mark can pull it out this year.

the second half of the season is what makes me believe he still has something in the tank.
I also think that Jarrett will do well this year and come back to championship form. I think he just hit one of those lulls the older guys hit (Rudd was in one for a while, emerged and then went back into one after changing teams).
Also I wonder if Bobby Labonte is going to put together a good season after last years disappointment.

Hmm maybe the reason Jimmie got sideways and slowed down was cause YOU FLIPPIN SPUN HIM.

Well at least some positive good news from the second 125- No Robby Gordon in the 500!

Could this be a sign of things to come tomorrow for my boy, Tony?
Winning the second duel, then winning his very first Busch series race. Could we follow this up with his very first Daytona 500 win? It'd be damn nice if it happened. Though that was an awesome Busch race. Especially Tony's save after his ride through the dirt. Amazing how he came back and won the race from 17th back with ten laps left. Awesome awesome race.
