Thanks for sharing that. I love NASCAR history.
Hell, If I knew man, I'd be somebody important .. or banned from Online Sports Books ;-)
I like Busch... and President Bush too. :-)
We'll make up answers if we have too. ;-)
Dale Jarrett or Earnhardt 8-? LOL (I know) but I had to ask.
My favorite driver of all time was killed there, Mike Grbac. No PR no TV no nothing. You could see how much this guy had style and flair from his driving on the track! Damm he was a good driver. Iron Worker and weekend dirt tracker....
Yup! Bobby Hamilton Jr won the Busch race driving the US Marines car!
Tomorrow, Tropicana 400 ... 1130 PT :-)
Tony is the polesitter. I bet he blows it up ... Go Busch!
I have a nephew racing superstock on a 1/2 mile track every Sat night in Minnesota. I have had 2 brothers, 2 brother-in-laws and 2 nephews race over the last 30 years or so. They have wrecked a few times but never anything serious. Myself, I have resisted the racing bug altho I enjoy watching the races and much that goes along with it.
