Anybody follow Nascar? Who's your driver?

I gotta say it. Austin Dillon races for crap and does not deserve to be sitting in Dale Earnhardt's #3 car. For most of the Daytona 500, he's driven that thing like it's a bumper car, caused at LEAST one major wreck and looks like a joke.
I don't care if his grandfather is Richard Childress, that rookie shouldn't be in that car.

Why NASCAR doesn't retire the number 3 is beyond me. I had thought they were going to not let anyone use it, let alone the fender bender kid driving it at Daytona today..seems like the weather just doesn't want to cooperate in February down there every year.

My partner follows it so I sort of half listen to it enough to know who the drivers are and what's going on in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races but he doesn't regularly follow the truck series. I haven't taken a liking to Austin Dillon or his hat--sorry, dude, that just looks stooopid. Can't stand Brad Keselowski. I know a lot of people don't like Kyle Busch but I respect his driving skills and think he's coming along with his maturity and hope he does well this year. Don't really have any one favorite but usually look out for several--Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, and Kasey Kahn.

According to Childress, Nascar refused to retire the number, says "They don't do that." Still doesn't mean he had to put some snot nosed kid in it. Oh, right. That's his grandson. :rolleyes:

OUCH! LOL!

Austin Dillon graduated to Sprint cup and he's driving Dale Earnhardt's number 3 car. Badly.

What? You don't like The 24?
I do! Gave me FITS the way he kept hanging himself out to dry in that middle lane. Not sure if he finished third or fourth.

Not really or Jimmie Johnson either.
I can't stand Jimmie Johnson! Not a huge Tony Stewart fan either, since he tried to cheat and fix his car during a red flag stop. And his attitude just rubs me the wrong way. The last couple seasons, they've been trying to make him seem cooler by giving him the nickname "Smoke." I wish they'd just stop. Sorry, Tony fans.
