Nextel Cup

Jeeez...that is going to take some getting use to. Glad I am not an announcer. They will have to really work hard not to say Winston Cup after all these years! And as last time!!!! Go Brian!!!!!!!! Brian Vickers Fan, Pat Lap RNY 12/22

I know. How about the new points system. What I'm hearing is the drivers are for it. I'm sorry, but the best driver in Nascar is #8 - Dale Earnhardt Jr. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, so I got to see my first nascar race live with my driver winning the race. Yeepee.

Junior is okay, I have nothing against him. Brian is one of "my kids," as was Kerry Earnhardt. Brian has talent, Kerry....well, that's another story. Kerry raced at Hickory and his sister Kelly raced at Tri-County. Don't have much to say about Kelly. She was always, well, had her nose in the air. I was at the very first Winston Cup at Phoenix. Most miserable I have ever been at a racetrack! And after having to walk about 2 miles to get to the track. It was a horrible day. If I ever go back I'll be working so it will not be as bad. Had to sit on "Rattle Snake Hill." I am so ready for the middle of Feb! Pat

Oh yeah Jr's #1 in my book too. Margo

I guess I'm just stuck in a rut, because I don't care how often they say "NEXTEL Cup" - - it will always be The Winston Cup to me! It's even painted on our ceiling in the "Dale Room" and I'm not about the change it! I'm not too sure about the points race. Seems to me a lot of great champions have come out of the old one. It's kinda like the saying if it's not broke don't fix it!! I'm not a huge Matt Kennsth fan but if I was him I'd be pretty ticked off. This way has been fine since the beginning of Nascar and the year that he won the title by a landslide it's suddenly not good enough anymore!!! 8 Days and counting!!! Angie Open RNY 11/10/03
