I hope so! Then maybe victory lane will look more like a Go Daddy commercial.

Love your loyalty man but this type of comment is what brings out the Danica haters. Realistically , there are a dozen cup drivers in there that she isn't going to challange for a few years; there are another dozen top flight Nationwide drivers that she is years from challanging. What folks should be watching is.. if and when she starts moving up through the bottom third of the field. This hopefully will start to happen next year .

I love your loyalty as well. I hope she does really well myself. I think more Danica is a good thing. She is really nice to look at, but that is not the only reason I root for her. Ok, it's certainly the main reason, but not the only one.

I also have a lot of respect for DanicaFan on how he handles himself when people are deliberately trying to bait him. :)

They said during qualifying the team doesnt have sponsorship to run so they worked out some deal with Morgan Shepard to drive it so they stay in the top 30 in points until they find sponsorship.

Thanks for the update but it still seems odd cause Morgan doesn't really have any sponsor dollars behind him or did Chapman pay him to drive the #89 and he put it on the #21.
 
Dear ESPN,

This is NASCAR, NOT basketbore. We don't give a **** about Lebron James so please knock it off!:mad:

Signed,
Everyone
 
I wonder if Kenny Wallace should consider switching to a Formula One Ride.:(
 
Competition Caution lap 71, Justin Lofton brushed the wall very lightly and NASCAR throws a caution to wake people up.
