Big JR fan here but I did much prefer the #8 Budweiser car at DEI over the 88 National Guard/Amp car. I was happy he won Daytona this year and the two races at Pocono however I feel he got lucky on the first one that Brad was about to over heat and had to get behind Jr to clear debris but heck, a win is a win.
This last weekend I was really disappointed at Talladega, he ran so well early on but then towards the end when it counted he just seemed to not be able to find his way to the front. At least Jimmie didn't win so we don't have to sit through him winning another championship. I think Jimmie winning 6 of them in such a short amount of time really hurt the sport.
I have not been to race in some time but for a few years there I made every race at Texas and even caught the 2006 Daytona 500. I need to plan a trip to Bristol and Talladega...
