How could anyone not like Jr? :thumbsup Just listen to him - always calm, laid back, not pretensive - just a good kid and he always says something that cracks me up. I am not afraid to admit that I actually like Nascar racing - there are a lot of racing snobs who put it down, but Cup racing is always closer (feet, or inches) than most other forms of racing. And those that kid themselves that going in circles is easy don't know. Juan Pablo said driving the Cup car is a lot harder than F1 - the skill level is there in Cup. But the main reason (IMO) that people like Nascar is because of the drivers. Whether you like them or not, there are some really great characters and once you choose a favorite or two it is great fun following them and the racing is almost always close.

I guess I just wanted a NASCAR driver all to myself:eek
