I'd like to see Kurt Busch win it.

Jr is a cry-baby, daddy's boy, and Johnson is gay

I don't follow NASCAR at all, but I heard today on the sports news that the Ford's aren't doing well this year. Something like 8 of the top 10 are Chevy's or something?

It seems like every year there is manufacturer that is at an aerodynamic disadvantage or something else.

well considering in the bud shootout Dale jr came all the way back from 19th to 1st in less than 6 to 7 laps, i'd say he's got his act together and will win the Daytona 500. If not him, it will be a DEI car.

for starters, he's trying to be his dad mostly with his driving antics(i can understand following in his footsteps but dont copy the guy),
hes a whiner,
hes cocky,
and what really pushed me over were his remarks after he made his announcement that he drove with a concussion "im better at 80% than most of these guys are when theyre at 100%"
need i mention irresponsible!

.....and i hate Budweiser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could not stand Dale Sr.,but for some reason I like Dale Jr. I haven't really seen where Jr. has picked up
on Sr.'s driving style. As far as him being better @ 80% than most guys @ 100%, he IS. From the 10th race to the 22nd (when he was hurt) race he averaged ~27th, which is better than MOST guys out there.
That's why this sport is so great. You could be my neihbor and hate the same guy I like, not like those "area"
sports (baseball, football, basketball....)

oh yea.....I hate Budweiser too....but, GO Jr.
