Kasey Kahne eclipses Dale Earnhardt Jr in turn 4 at Talledega to win the Aaron’s 499. Seeing the Bud car doing burnouts confuses Junior fans. Should they throw Amp cans at the Bud car or Bud cans at the Hendrick car? With no solution found, the result is the tamest Talladega post-race crowd in years.

Yeah fearless, really bold and yet some could come true.
Mark Martin leaving DEI for Red Bull racing, it could happen, Tony Stewart at least verbally going at it will Kyle Busch, it will happen.
The car of tomorrow success is yet to be seen, but one thing to remember, the COT is here to stay, so how do we fix it.
Dario Franchitti spins out teammate Juan Pablo Montoya for a victory, I would pay to see that…I don’t know about Sonoma…
And finally, I am a Junior fan and this year (2008), its green, blue and white for the colors and Budweiser was so last year… I willn’t for get…good luck to both dale Jr. and Kasey Kahne.

I’m not to keen on #9, unless, of course, Mikey DOES break into the Top 35. I say it’s now or never for my Hero !!!

Mikey has a chance. He’s obviously good at Daytona and has run well in the past at California, Vegas and Atlanta.
