If you're going to change the date of something, move election day from November 4th to April 15th!

Spoken like one of the 200,000 Rednecks...

In addition to that radio report.............re: crew chiefs on suspension at the track.....

While Darby said it is almost impossible to police such activity, he did leave the possibility of further suspension if it is thrown in NASCAR’s face.

“Theoretically, most penalties written severe enough to include a suspension also include a probation,” he said. “If Tony Jr. keeps running his yap we could easily send him home for another six weeks.”

Theoretically, a Henricks/Rousch/Gibbs merger could create a new league.

Wife freaked on the pic, but we still wait. LOL

“Daytona 500 to be moved to November”

I’d love to see them add a roadrace at Sebring early before the rainy season.

I was only playing. :)

I'm not into all the speculations, think much of it is hype by the media.

"Free the 8."

In the modern era of NASCAR, what driver drove the #8 car the longest?

It’s probably the remnants of the low that hammered us for the last two weeks.

Couldn't find that, but I did find this:

In the aftermath of NASCAR superstar Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s decision to leave his father's company, Dale Earnhardt, Inc., I was amazed to hear that many fans cannot conceive of another driver in the 8 car, which Junior has piloted full time in the Cup series since the year 2000.

Perhaps this is not surprising, since so many of today's fans have come to the sport during roughly that same period of time.

But students of NASCAR's almost 60-year history know that many drivers raced the 8 car before Dale Jr., just as many will do so after him....(cont.)

Will have to wait for your answer. :)

From the article -- "Bobby Hillin Jr. was the next driver to spend significant time in the 8 seat, driving his first race at North Wilkesboro in April 1982. Hillin remained in the car through the end of 1990,. . . ."

Ding-Ding-Ding! We have a winner!

Hillin, Jr. drove the #8 for a total of nine years, eight of them in a row.

Earnhardt, Jr. is in his seventh season behind the wheel of the #8.

Other modern drivers still active that drove the #8 -- Sterling Marlin, Jeff Burton (two years), Morgan Shepherd.
