He's probably referring to Jimmie lol

I know I pegged this one for Chase early in the year, but I don't know that the Chevy's have made enough progress to win just yet. Expected them to be a little further along by now.
 
Cant wait

the day will come, sooner than you think that days like yesterday for the 18 will be more frequent. Those of us who have been around for awhile have seen it many times over the years. 7 times don't come around too often in this sport.

Oh ok cool
 
Tossing around going down. I should know if I have Sunday off by Thursday. I haven't been to Dover since 2010 (broke a 20 year streak), Martinsville has left a bitter taste in my mouth and Pocono is still a month away.

I love Dover. Awesome skill-intensive racetrack... the degree of difficulty is way up there. I hate that "Miles the Monster" shtick, but this track really is a monster.

I've seen a few really good races at Dover (fall '92, fall '94, spring '97 and fall '06 come to mind) but sadly I've seen my share of dogs there. If one car gets hooked up it's lights out for the rest of the field. Dover can become hypnotic during long green flag runs. 500 miles there was brutal on man, machine and fans! I remember a couple of races that approached 5 hours back in the day.

The Original "Monster"! I had a shirt that looked like this. I also have a picture of the huge cutout version of this monster that use to be on the back of the turn 1 grandstand.

Oh man I forgot about the old Monster my dad used to have one of those.

The last 2 spring races have been really good hopefully the streak continues.
