I'll be cheering for the 48 car ... and, whoever is in front of the 18.
It seems like the "off season" has lasted forever.

yea lucky lookin forward to another sprint cup season.edwards and kyle busch are going to be tough this year i think. stewart , dale jr. and gordon will be fast too.but im curious to see kasey kane in hendrick equipment.

I am wishing the 88 car can get things going his dad was my favorite driver for years and I was hoping Jr. could carry on thr tourch.

Being raised around a plethora of different automotive genres I just plain love racing.
I'm a anybody in the Force bunch fan in NHRA, I've always loved the Funny Cars since day one of them being raced, I really dig the Pro Mods too.
I'm a Denny Hamlin fan in NASCAR, before him it was Rusty Wallace, and before him David Pearson.
I also enjoy going to one of our local dirt tracks and watching folks I know race.

When was the last time "The Sarg" won an event? :-)

I've had the opportunity to work with Gilliland he is actually from Chino, CA. I always hope he does well and will always be a fan. With that being said I am not a Kyle Busche fan but he is by far the most talented driver in the field. Having pulled the car out of a side spin at 197 mph on 2 occasions during the Bud Shoot Out tells you he is the cream of the crop and will definately amaze us with his skills.

But my favorite driver is Juan Montoya in the Target 42 car. Not sure why, but I like his eat crap attitude and he really just doesn't care about other driver's opinions. So go Paco Taco! (as my friends refer to him as)

Being a Sprint car driver pit reporter and infield interviewer I've had the chace to interview a lot of talent over the past few years. Some of these drivers are now making their debut in the NASCAR scene via Camping World Truck series and Nationwide series and some sprint cup races. Cole Whitt being one of the young drivers to raise to the occasion. I watch NASCAR races by turning it on every TV in the house so no matter what room I am cleaning I can watch. Of course then theres the NASCAR nap which I also look forward to.......

Was never into NASCAR until a year before Dale died. I was rooting for him, Michael Waltrip, and his boy JR. Michael Waltrip I always liked him and Mark ( now "the kid") Martin, they both have great attitudes and would like to have a beer with them and BS some day. Dont have a favorite driver any more but have not had any one to me really shine with the quality of the older drivers we all remember in the past.

Things just haven't been the same since Allan Johnson left.
I do root for anyone racing against Johnson's dragsters. :-)
Funny how both his drivers left him.

the Gatorade twin 125's are running now....see nascar.com for feed,in-car, and track cameras plus live position updates...

I saw this live a few years back in Chicago speedway, really enjoyed it, thats say a lot from a guy who never drove a car in his life and could never understand why they drove around in a circle for hours...the whole experience of the race and the sideshows was cool.

Ouch, Danica hit the wall pretty hard at the Gatorade Duels at Daytona!  But thankfully no injuries!!!

Coincidence or what?

Wow, waht an ending at the Nationwide today. Wreck in turn 4 takes out all the leaders and young James Buescher comes from the 11th spot for his first ever NASCAR win - at Daytona!!!

Can't wait for tomorrows race!!!

If the 500 is anything like both the trucks and Nationwide races they'll be more wreckers than checkers. :-)

Ok, we're ready for some racing!!!!

The only thing about watching stuff like this on the west coast is that I just drug my butt out of bed and already have to get moving to meet everyone out at Sporty's to watch the race.

I hope they can get the race in today. Been pretty rainy here in north FL this morning :(

Go Stewart!!

Go figure it's sunny with blue skies up here on Lake Erie, raining in Daytona.

Rain Rain go away you are goofing up my racing today

This is the driest part of the year here in Sunny FL. But what have we got for THE biggest race day of the year? Friggin rain. Damn !!!
Oh well, at least I'm off work tomorrow.

Me to Solar Bill thinking of seeing if well there be any blank seat there, as some folks do have to go to work, have a grea tone! "T"
