I'm just glad Hendrick Motorsports Drivers gave Mr. Hendrick another championship. I didn't really care which one got it for him.

Thinking about Martinsville 2004 still messes me up sometimes.

David Gilliland almost got his First Carreer Top Five in the Ford 400, but he wrecked that car

I Hope there competitive in that Car next Year, Top 15 in Points

I also Hope Robert/Doug Yates Racing can get a Sponsor and Driver for the 88 next year

Go Yates Racing

David Gilliland? Yeah, i kinda of like him... that whole rags to riches deal is pretty cool.

But did you see Martin Truex Jr.? He was so close to getting his first win i was so disappointed when he didn't, and i'm not even a Truex fan.

To be honest, I thought this year was boring. There are no real rivalries and all the drivers are so damn politically correct, it makes my want to puke. I understand they have sponsors they must answer to, but most of them act like robots out there when they get interviewed.

The racing was good (at times) but for the most part, I thought it was quite boring. I think the "cookie cutter" tracks are to blame for the racing. Put these guys in the Busch cars and I think we will see some better racing and more rivalries. I really do think that would bring the competition closer together and make for some more rivalries.

Ok, I am off the soapbox now.

There are no real rivalries...

You forgot about Tony Stewart vs. the world,

and

you forgot about Jeff Gordon vs. taking responsibilty for his own driving.

Overall, the season had it's high points but in general not as exciting as past seasons. I'm a Mark Martin fan so now that the Red Sox and Roush could be cohorts together I won't have to route for them anymore. So does that mean the Yankees and Hendrick should co-op? Hmmm, I'd have to become a Hendrick fan then, maybe I'll go with Mears I think we'll see more excitement in the coming years with these elite drivers from other organizations coming over to Nascar (Montoya, Ahlmendinger, Hornish and Villeneuve to mention a few) Pretty soon Nextel/Sprint will be it's own IROC. The series could definately benefit with some new talent so there isn't an overwhelming majority of Junior fans. Not that it's a bad thing but some variety would be nice. But to sum this season up in a word - Average.
