Ahhh! Another Jr. fan -- I like you already! My guys are Jr, Smoke, and Jeff Burton... although my appreciation for JJ and Jeffy is growning.

I've only been to Daytona once, but try to make Homestead every year. That makes the transition into off-season a little nicer.

It should be an excellent race for the 88 today. He's definitely due for a win.

Hey all, Im not a great big Nascar fan but my hubby is. He loves it when the race is on, I could walk around the house naked when the race is on and he wouldnt even notice, thats how much he loves it. LOL. Just kidding, He would just tell me wait untill I see who wins. I like the same drivers he does. JR. is the best and we also like Harvick. But of course there is no driver that could ever or will ever take the place of the Intimidator. He will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace Dale. I LOVE YOU.

My brother used to race prostocks and superstocks competitively about 30 years ago, so I basically grew up around the sport. I remember hanging out at the local track -- now owned by Johnny Benson -- and loving the smell of Oil Dry. Once the racing bug hits you, you become very passionate about the sport and your drivers.

I've seen and been to a lot of races with Dale Earnhardt, but never grew to appreciate him. I always thought he was too aggressive in his driving style... However, Dale Jr. (to me) seems to really be smart in how he drives. Cautiously aggressive, maybe. I love watching him because I realize how much he is able to make his car do that other drivers can't. And, although he seems to have as much "drive" as his daddy, he generally won't take out his competition in order to win.

Count me in! While I'm partial to the Gibbs racing team (it's a Washington, D.C./Redskins thing), my heart belongs to Jr.

Ahhh Nathan, you're killing me! Which races?? I'm excited for May because all the races are Saturday night races. I was disappointed with Jr's results but he's still 4th in points. And yep, his daddy was a rare breed and is always missed.

On a side note, I can't stand that Digger thing they've got going on. Creepy groundhog! lol

LOL User! Personally, I think both Digger and DW should be put where the sun don't shine...

Which race would you most like to attend, if you could and money were no issue?I think I'd want to go to Talladega...

Daytona, of course. Then Homestead, mainly because of its importance now. The Coca Cola 600 is always my favorite race though. I love nighttime races. So, I guess I can't pick just one!

Again, I was not thrilled with Jr's progress last night but he's having a steady year. Third in points is not bad. But I'd like to see him win a race!
