After a long overdue rehab of Daytona, all 100,000+ seats have sold out for
Sundays race! Rookie driver Chase Elliot who is the new driver of the #24 car
starts from the poll. Really very impressive!
Will Hendrick cars go 1,2 and3 or will JGR teams step up and claim the win?

starting next year, Stewart-Haas is going to Ford. They raided Hendricks #1 chasis
person this season. Hendrick for the rest of this season will still use the Hendrick
horsepower. It will be interesting to see how this parting of the ways will
workout for the rest of this season.

Silly, mark my words, if Toyotas continue to dominate early in the season NASCAR will come out with a new rule to penalize them to allow Fords and Chevys to catch up. This is the main thing wrong with NASCAR in motor sports! There is no other sport on the planet that changes rules like NASCAR does after a season begins.

I always like both Bobby and Terry. I remember when Ironhead wrecked Terry twice
at Richmond? The first time Terry won, the 2nd time Earnhardt won. You could hear the
crowd booing him! Surprised that Texas Terry didn't kick his a** afterwards!

Do you remember when Dirty Dale #3 spun Terry out on the last lap at Bristol and got the win? Any other driver would have had to forfeit that kind of win But NASCAR needed the intimidator in the black #3 at that time to boost the ratings.

Silly, I'm pretty confident that Jimmie Johnson will pass Jeff Gordon for 3rd place in all time wins before he retires but do you think he can pass David Pearson for 2nd in all time wins? I don't think he can unless he gets on one of those Jimmie rolls that he has been known to do in the past.

The silver fox has never been overlooked by me since I've seen him pull out many wins live that I thought he had no chance to win. You and I both know that Jimmie and Chad are going to eventually break up and when that happens I think Jimmie will be lucky to get any wins. In other words, Jimmie needs to get to 100 wins ASAP if he wants to have any chance of catching the silver fox.

There are a lot of tragic endings in the NASCAR family. Just look at Davey Allison who was destined for stardom who drove for my good friend Robert Yates. Every time I see Robert he says "What If?" and then we go on to another topic.

if Jr. fails the concussion testing.

Silly, I've heard the same thing from a few sources in the know who are a part of NASCAR. Based on what I've heard Jr. doesn't consider racing fun anymore and he has enough business interests outside of racing to keep him busy full time. I'm sure he is also thinking about staying healthy since he is still pretty young.

Silly, you might be on to something that Junior might be getting out of the racing business soon. Maybe he is tired of trying to live in the shadow of his hall of fame racing daddy along with his injuries. He is still young with plenty of money and lots of businesses to run so I wouldn't blame him at all for calling it quits in racing. Besides that he has now started a family of his own.

Silly, Almost all of the drivers have mansions on Lake Norman which is near Charlotte where most of their racing shops are. Rick Hendrick's shop is so clean you could eat off the floor where the cars #5, #24, #48, and #88 are put together. Even the drivers who consistently finish 20 to 30 in the final standings are multi-millionaires and most NASCAR drivers are at their peak in performance at age 29 so you are correct, drivers that we know will be moving to another life phase and I don't blame them.

Silly, One thing for sure that we are seeing unfold in this story is Jeff Gordon's dedication and loyalty to Rick Hendrick by agreeing to continue to race the #88 when he would prefer to remain retired. There would be no future hall of famer Jeff Gordon without Rick Hendrick and Jeff hasn't forgotten this.
