••••NASCAR 2016••••

Let's go racing boys! Go Jr.!

I have no idea who to cheer on now that Gordon is done. I guess it's between True and Edwards.

I only ever picked Gordon to spite someone who was a hard core Earnhardt fan. I didn't give two shots about racing at that time but I told my friend that Gordon was going to win the Daytona 500 that year and he did. Stuck with him after that.

Edwards seems likeable and he won the only race I ever attended.

Truex...not sure really. I knew a few years back that I would need to have someone take over my rooting interest once JG retired. Truex had a catchy Napa commercial.

I like Carl Edwards ... always seemed like a good guy. NASCAR is one of the last sports that no matter who you select most of those drivers will never let you down by doing something stupid outside the sport and when someone does they go away...it just doesn't happen often, especially from the sports bread and butter drivers. I see Gordon has been Earnhardt relief driver and raced in is 800th NASCAR race and Kenneth in his 600th, both at Watkins Glen in the same race, pretty cool.

I'm still with Truex and Edwards but haven't dedictated much time to Nascar this season thanks mostly to Gordon retiring. Once I heard he was coming back for Jr. I was thrilled. Only I haven't been able to watch more than about 30 laps of his return.

anyone hear about this story about Robby Gordon's dad and stepmom?

totally forgot this was today.  i have no idea who's the favorite or anything now that Jr's retired.

Boogity boogity leeeet's go racin' Daytona style!

I didn't watch it this year but I'm sure he was. He was goofy AF as it is, but I remember the two worst were:

"boogity boogity boogity, let's go racin' in Daytona boys and GIRL." He put a real emphasis on GIRL as it was Danicas first race.

"Boogity boogity boogity, let's go racin' ya bunch of hot dogs." This was a race at Martinsville, a track supposedly well known for hot dogs. That was like 4 years ago or something and my girlfriend and I still make fun of it.
