    Looks like Jeff Gordon is done after this season.

    He actually said he is not interested in that.

    Right. He didn't say a definitive no, and I bet he gets the itch for it and caves.

    I think he's awesome. I used to hate him, but even thru all the crazy shit last year, I still like him.

    He races similar to the way Dale Sr. raced, and people hated him too. I love how he races aggressively. Its how you win. And he is a winner.

    I predict that in about 10 years, we will be putting him up there with the greatys.

    I thought it was BS how he wrecked Gordon last year, pretty much ending his title hopes single handedly. However I don't think it was an intentional thing, and I love how hilarious Brad is. It's also awesome to see how he always voices his opinion, instead of the politically correct corporate NASCAR way.

    It was sort of a dick move, but thats racing. That shit happens. And I do agree with how its awesome how he voices his opinion, NASCAR has gotten way too overly PC recently.

    Is he your favorite? My favorite was always Vickers, but after awhile I just couldn't have hopes he would be elite anymore, so 2 years ago I started following Kyle Larson during his first Nationwide er..Xfinity? season. Past those 2 guys, I don't really follow any 1 driver passionately, but like most of the guys. Gordon got me into the sport, and Dale is just too likable to not root for. I don't dislike anybody really, except Kyle Busch. Also, I really don't think Harvick should have been the full season champion last year. It was better than Newman winning though lol, which would have been a slap to the face of their stupid WIN WIN WIN rules.

    Yea he's my favorite. I've loved seeing him race for a while. I'll root for Dale Jr though.

    Can't wait to see him race when I go to the Coke 600 this year in Charlotte.

    That would be rough to sit thru in the stands imo. I've been to Atlanta which was great, and the Bristol night race which was even better. That should go without saying though.

    It was really the only race I could make this year based off of my schedule. This should be my last summer living in the northeast, and I dont feel like going to Pocono again, and Watkins Glen is brutal to watch as it is a road course. Kansas is an OK speedway.

    In what? Is it the first non points race or something? I'm watching NBA.

    edit: AHHH Shit I missed the whole thing. At least I'll see the last few laps.

    For some reason this race has a reputation of being loaded with wrecks. Harvick went right into the wall and then right into Kurt Busch.\


    Edit pretty sure that was Biffle

    The small local tracks are also awesome to go to. The Whelen Modified are awesome to go to. Especially on a local short track.
