Isn't it about time that we get some of those drivers that don't have a freekin chance off the race track? Buckshot Jones, Tricklin Dick and that broad come to mind.

Honestly, I love NASCAR. I don't understand it yet, after three years of paying attention.

I was at a shop that sells nothing but NASCAR stuff the other day. They have a die-cast car in a glass case (I forget who it is), but it was priced at $16,000......let me retype that for comfirmation, $16,000.00. The owner of the shop told me, "Believe me, I will get that price." Unbelievable!

Theoretically, that's what qualifying, and to some extent the sponsors are supposed to do. I don't think it would do the sport much good to get rid of the people that are there just because they love to race, even if they can't win. Shawna Robinson has only been in a few races, and hasn't done well, I agree. But it hasn't been that long ago that Steve Park was a joke. The question wasn't "Will he hit the wall today?", but "Will he get to make a pitstop before he hits the wall today?". Then he got it figured out and started running with the big dogs.
