Hi MsCrocket. Yes, I'm a Nascar fan and so is my hubby. I don't really have a driver anymore that I root for exclusively. I used to like Sterling Marlin, and I still like him but he's so not competitive anymore. I like Jamie McMurray. Hubby's favorite is Jeff Gordon. There are probably a lot more drivers I DON'T like than any I actually like, but that's half the fun of Nascar, isn't it?
At the risk of being controversial, I have to say I'm less than impressed by the powers that be in the Nascar world. Too many rules, too many "convenient" yellow flags (did you notice Daryl Waltrip said as much in not so many words yesterday?), almost like it's being orchestrated. I'm not so much a conspiracy theorist to really go that far, but I do think it's been watered down in recent years.
I absolutely HATE that "Lucky Dog" rule. Used to be you could race for the line when the yellow flag dropped. Now just one guy gets to make up a lap, no matter how many guys are actually close to the line or no matter how far away that one guy is from actually earning that lap back. I know Nascar is all about safety, but that's going a little too far and taking the competition out of it.
There are many more rules that are irritating, but my post is probably long enough. I do like the sport, don't get me wrong, but I don't like the recent trends in management.
Cindy B.

The Tallegdaga race was a killer on my nerves... Man the drafting there, and Jeff had such an awesome car.. but in the end the smarter one paid off. I was okay with it as Hendrick Motors won.. Then Elliot Sadler, he had the strongest car,, Bad luck on jr. and the engine,, really enjoyed the race...

I watch NASCAR a little, but I don't really know enough about it to be into it. If anyone is willing to share some info I would apreciate it. when I do watch I look for Dale jarrett, but that is only because of his sponsor.
