I try to look at the stories behind ALL of the drivers and teams. The main thing I look for is class and maturity. The nice thing about this is you end up with a whole field of favs and you can see the good in almost any ending. Example the Daytona finish: Because of NASCAR's decision (right or wrong) Harvick won and showed he is the hardest charger since Tim Richmond. Martin had a great finish and showed what he's known for clean driving and "class". Jeff Burton was my pick to win (3rd) and he has done amazing things at RCR (notice the Harvick maturity) One Gordon never quites the other Gordon should quite! Jimmy Johnson is driving well over his head and so is Dale Jr. When I see Biffle run good from now on I'll know Benny Parsons has a big smile in heaven. JUST ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT. :THUMBSUP:

I'll still root for Mark because he was the class of the field no matter what he drives! BTW, Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty, and Terry Labonte were all Ford drivers at one time and no one can say they weren't fantastic drivers regardless of what they drove....

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
I'm getting to be more of a fence sitter with Nascar as far as the car brands go. They are all the same only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. [Dragnet]. It's really the driver/pit crews now,not the car. So with that said I'm bummed about Martin losing.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
I root for Jr. until he wrecks or gets wrecked...then I root for the veterans....would have been nice to see Mark in the winners circle.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
After listening to some of the comments by other drivers I feel NASCAR should have thrown the caution. Based on my judgement the time they should have pushed the button MM was in the lead.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
almost! They should have thrown the caution NO MATTER who was leading, let the cards fall where they will. I'm not convinced that some of the wreck could not have been prevented.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
Yellow should have flown. Consistency is not shown this way. Lets fine all the cheaters, then try to kill someone 250' from the finish! NASCAR should be fined for stupidity! Have they released a "reason" for not throwing the Yellow?

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm not a big Martin fan but I do wish he would have won instead of Harvick. Martin deserves it.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
You get to root for the veterans ALOT! Its funny that if he does pretty good and leads a bizillion laps he falls out or wrecks more often than not!

Re: NASCAR thread
It seems alot of the time the deserving driver does not win. It was a great finish without NASCARs failure to be consistant!

I agree. Throwing the caution would not have prevented some of the wrecking but would have prevented some of the racing back to the line. Example: Did you see David G. in the replay. That was crazy.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
From what info I have heard, Mark was going to retire in 2005. Jack talked him into returning for the 2006 season and he was at least going to leave Full-time NASCAR racing at the end of 06 to run Busch cars and or Craftsman trucks. I heard this all through the 06 season. As for the Chevy team he is on now, It sounds like he was asked $$ to help groom the young drivers and will only see limited action in the 01 car for 07. I believe his status now is 'semi-retired+driving coach'. Mark will still drive for Roush in the other series, but not in a CUP car. Doesn't sound like he threw a fit about anything. It was a planned move to leave full-time NASCAR racing.

Re: BOOOOO Kevin Harvick
I'm not a fan of either one so It didn't matter to me. Just out of curiosity, why wasn't this in the NASCAR thread?

Re: NASCAR thread
That was an awesome race. It was my first time at a Nascar event and I don't think anyone can truly appreciate how fast those cars are flying down the track unless they've seen it for themselves. The last wreck happened RIGHT in front of me. Got to see Kenseth go sideways at 150 mph+ right in front of me! Also got a few pictures of Jr. climbing out of his car after doing a donut for the crowd after one of the mid race wrecks.

Re: NASCAR thread
Awesome win by Kennseth in the Busch series race last night. Hopefully well see a strong day for the Roush and Yates contenders today in the Cup race after some seriously lame qualifying by the Ford contengent...
