[QUOTE=Dlyne8r;361030]I'm a "Little E" fan, but my youngest son is a huge Gordon fan. I explained to him last night while watching the race that Gordon and Jr. will be teammates next year. He looked at me and said with a smile "Dad, I guess I'll pull for Dale too next season!" Can't wait. I'm sure Hendrick engines will be much more reliable![/QUOTE]

You have a smart little kid there! :D

I'll definitely pull for dale more now that I know he's a skins fan, and now that he's with Hendrick.

Those engines for DEI suck...how many blow outs do they need before they change their ways?

I can understand that, it's all about the sponsors now.

I don't like that they all look alike too. You can tell the difference up front, and tail lights, but not the side.

I too enjoyed NASCAR more in the past. I continue to watch with interest, but it just isn't the same for me personally. NASCAR has forgotten it's heritage and has become generic. Drivers, crewman, owners, etc., are no longer allowed to express their emotions for fear of offending someone. Corporate dollars now rule, not Chevy, Ford, or Chrysler. As you stated, the cars all look alike and they are all pretty much the same mechanically. It reminds me of IROC for crying out loud! No longer is it up to a mfr. to ""one up" the other with a faster car. NASCAR now mandates vehicle design and specifications. But alas, I still watch. I typically fast forward the DVR through most races now until a race actually "breaks out," but I still watch. :(

What ever happened to IROC?

Apparently, they were having trouble landing sponsorship. I wondered occasionally where they went as well.

It looks like they won't do IROC at all this year since it was scheduled in Feb, and it's now Oct.
