All the other guys will need cars too, but they will have less trouble locating them.:D
 
This is really an all star field, for the most part. It will be hard to pick a winner. Under the lights will definately be a plus. I wish it were this weekend.
 
Gee ya think judas?

Moving it to a prime-time TV slot for Budweiser is a gaurantee that it's gonna be Jr taking it.

Gotta keep that huge sponsor happy, be sure NASCAR and Budweiser get their poster boy on TV to the masses. Can't let each other forget what they're in this for! :)
 
well, who do ya think is more of a poster boy, jr. or jeffy?
 
That news wouldn't even be out if they didn't want us to know about it.

That reputation he's building is a carefully crafted marketing ploy.

Wait a minute, didn't Jeff Gordon win back to back in 2002?
 
Those are the winners of the Bud Shootout (Busch Clash). Back to back wins in that race only. Neil Bonnet, Ken Schrader, and now Tony are the only ones to do it.
