#1- there might be an issue because Lil E says he will not drive anything but a Chevy
#2- He has expressed interest in keeping #8, and he won't be able to at Gibbs racing. I heard something about this during the rain out at dover today. I know I was VERY supersticious about my #7 when I played...I even paid one of my teammates $200 to give me the number when I played football at college.
#3- Lil E has a lot of connections and friends, I would expect him to go where the money is at. I know him and Stewart are friends, but that will only go so far. There is still a slight possibility that he will return to Earnhardt inc.

Ummm huh?

1) Gibbs runs Chevys
2) #8 belongs to DEI. He can't drive it for anyone but them unless DEI makes a trade or something. I have no idea why he is any less likely to dirve #8 for Gibbs than anyone else.
3) Well Gibbs is one of the best financed teams on the circuit. And by any measure if he wanted the money he'd stay at DEI. That is where the money is. This isn't about money and everything he has done adn said has shown that. This is about winning a championship. He isn't going back to DEI.

Well then I am unsure of what Waltrip was talking about.

ps- while I love Gibbs the Skins coach, I hope Gibbs the owner goes down in flames.

Why in the world would you have feelings like that?


As a 2nd year NASCAR fan I never knew how much Mr. Bill France Jr. did for his sport. Watching fans and friends speak of him yesterday was very moving. I think the way folks talk about you when you die is a pretty good measure of a man. If that's the case this man was loved, respected and will be missed.
RIP Bill France Jr.

peace

Because I'm a Jeff Gordon fan, and it goes without saying that I think that Tony Stewart is the biggest ass on the oval! Stewart is also one of the more wreckless.

Gordon is one driver I'd really like to meet that I haven't had a chance to yet. Seems everyone either loves him or hates him

Gordon is who got me into NASCAR. I was born and raised in Boston, and as you know, most people from that area aren't really into NASCAR, they think it's a "hick" sport. Being from the "city" my southern friends made fun of me like Gordon gets made fun of cause he's from California.
I'm not saying I have anything really in common with Gordon, but when it comes to NASCAR we seem to be somewhat of outcasts for what that is worth.
He's having one helluva season thus far.

Cool. Yeah I am admittedly a huge Tony Stewart fan. I think he's a nice guy, a bit feisty at times but a very engaging personality.

No one is nicer, in my opinion, than Jeff Burton.
