Oh Yeah it is right around the corner fellas and it is like silly season still!!!! With all the team mergers Gannasi/DEI (Chip-N-Dales), Everham/Petty, and Stewert/Hall of fame. Alot of silly driver swaps and alot of yet to be proven talent in the Sprint Cup series along with sponserships comig and going with todays economy it could make for a really enterresting year. I don't know who is who's fan here yet but in my book Hendrick is still the top dog but which driver Johnson with a four peet? Jr. finally coming around and is Gordon not got the championship drive any more!!!! Now you Martin in house to looking for his first championship at age 50. Who will be the new leader at Gibbs now that Stewart is gone and will (Big Ears) Kyle Bush start as hot as he did last year but be able to keep it going? Who knows only time will tell what o you all think????

Yeah I been starting to think about it myself. I haven't paid much attention this off season so I need to get myself back in the grove.


Lookin forward to watchin Dale try and get that first championship and seeing how Mark can do in his new ride. Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if he took the cup either.

I used to get really cranked up for the start of the NASCAR season, but not so much anymore. Too many changes in the sport, changes that I think have hurt the sport, I understand the safety aspect but come on, we all know there is a risk factor involved, not racing to the caution flag has killed a lot of the competitiveness on the track as well as the yellow line rule, I say if they are able to maintain control, let them pass in the grass, that's entertainment! the lucky dog sucks, green, white, checker sucks. And most of all, if I see another phantom debris caution flag thrown just to bunch up the field, I'm gonna puke. There are races that I still circle on the calendar every year, the 500 is one of them, I'll watch some of, but not with the same intensity that I did say in the mid to late 90's. Bristol races I'll for sure watch, that's still about as old school NASCAR as it gets, it's still pretty good racing, pretty tough to tame that race down. The cookie cutter tracks, I'll read about those races in the Monday sports section.

Out of my dismay of cup racing I have found a liking to the truck series, that's some pretty entertaining stuff right there, those guys beat the crap out of each other week in and week out, kinda like cup racing used to be.

We're not going to have a daily countdown are we? j/k
I was just thinking though, we hadn't heard from Bird for awhile on the Hawgz site and what do you know, he shows up starting a countdown at 90 plus days to go before turkey season.
He is another reason I need to spend more time on this site than Hawgz.
