Hey Rich, I envy your trip to 'dega! I've never been to a plate race. I've been to Pocono and Dover. I've been told that until you've been to a super speedway you haven't seen a cup race. I hope you and your friends have a great time!
I'm a Dale fan.....I didn't like some of the "liberties" that NASCAR used to let him get away with though. He could drive and a same aged Dale I think could keep up with the new stars. Heck, all of those guys can drive. It just seems that the sweet spot on these new cars is so small, if you miss it by a little, you are running 40th!
