Well, I guess I have mixed feelings about seeing Dale Jr. in the #3. I think it may be best to let this legend live on in memory only. Still, having him drive a black #8 is a cool idea.

If Teresa Earnhardt has her way you'll never see Dale Jr. in a black #3 -- even though Richard Childress owns the number.

Nascar is in my back yard this week - Talladega. Hotel rooms in the area are as rare as tentoze' virginity. If you need a room, I'll give you a place to stay (in exchange for a race ticket of course ).

And if you are a Nascar fan, you must watch "Back in the Day" on Speed Channel. Excellent show, with highlights of races from the 60s and early 70s. Fantastic stuff.

Do you suppose Junior's sponsor will jump on the bandwagon and produce a limited edition Budweiser Black Label?

We have a new pizza joint opening up here this weekend called "The Pizza Machine"...

Supposed to be a big deal, pizza, video games, bumper cars, indoor rides, etc, etc...

They've been advertising on the radio that Earnhardt Sr's race car is supposed to be
on display at the grand opening.

I TOTTALLY AGREE with you. Weather you loved or hated him RACING was better WITH him there. I am an Earnhardt Sr. fan from 1979... He was like part of the family. Wouldnt you just love to see him race against TONY S., Jeff G, and so on.... and wonder how hed like the Busch Bros It would be MUCH BETTER WITH HIM .....I have every single DIECAST that were made for Sr. (all the originals) I think 165 of them in all (some differant scales) For some reason, I packed them away after his death, The WIFE wants me to sell them all, but Its hard to part with something that you have collected over so MANY years just for a couple bucks..... know what I mean?...
PS: IF he were alive today he'd kick ole Waltrips ass for all that "BOGGITY BOGGITY BULLSHIT.... Sry ... Just hate that., every time I hear that, I want to beat someone with my crutches... and he acts like he was mr CLEAN on the track (Darrel Waltrip), Man , how many of you watched HIM race thruout his racing carrear? HES NOT what it looks on TV today for sure... HE WAS WELL HATED in the racing world (then) Good Driver, NOT good at TV..JMHO...LOL..

I'd like to see Nascar establish an off-season Senior Series featuring retired Cup drivers. I think the die-hard fans would pay a few dollars to see Petty, Waltrip, Trickle, Rusty and the rest do it again at some of the older tracks like North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, Nazareth and Darlington. With mo' money to be made, I'm surprised the France family hasn't already considered it. Just think of the sponsorship possibilities!

I don't know, for some reason I think seeing that paint scheme again on track will kind of bother me.

I know it's just paint and not the number but you almost feel like it's not for anybody else to use, other than possibly his son at Talladega, so maybe I'll be ok.
