Finally, one last un-official warning...

On a technical level*

Please try to keep things in the thread on a civil level and on topic. 👍

Btw, my fav... Probably Jeff Gordon (popular fella, I know, but I never really cared for any of the drivers till about 2 years ago when I first learned of the ROC and Gordon's role on the American team
)

For me, it's Kasey Kahne because even though Kahne is from Enemclaw, Washington, he made his name racing sprints, Silver Crown, and midgets here in Ohio as well as in Indiana and Pennsylvania. I met him several times at Attica Raceway Park here in Ohio, and he's a genuinely nice guy. Very easy going and an incredibly talented driver who earned Rookie of the Year last year.
It's almost a shame that Ford dropped his Champ Car program (he raced a few successful Toyota Atlantic races before Ford decided to pull factory backing for Champ Car) and put him in Busch Grand National. But at least now he's under Mother Mopar's wing.

Layla's Keeper
The kid comes from money. Sure he is a "good" driver but there is no doubt him having the finances to get started played a key role in his success thus far. He left Ford to go to Dodge because he had the opportunity to be in better equipment with Evearnham Motorsports. In his contract with Ford he was supposed to be put in "good" equipment but they were not doing that which is what allowed him to leave Ford and move to Dodge. He's comparable to Darland at best, only difference is he is younger and that's what allowed him to move up to NASCAR, no one wants an older driver anymore even if they are of equivelent talent.
- 535
Darland is quick. I'll give him that, but he's always been lacking on pavement. I'll be honest, of all the guys in USAC who've moved up recently, Tracy Hines is the most "on edge" driver. Yeah, Yeley had more success, but Yeley also has Twister chassis in his back pocket and Mopar paying the bills.
But no matter what, I always support our open wheel boys when they get the chance to smear the faces of the NASCAR stock car establishment. Especially when they take all the money they make there and put it back into sprints, modifieds, midgets, Silver Crown, and keeping great tracks like Eldora Speedway (thank you Tony) and Sharon Speedway (thank you Dave) open.
Oh, and keep your eye out for three names from the MSA Supermodified ranks who'll definitely be climbing upwards. Watch out for Lee Boss, Moe Lilje, and A.J. Davis.

Well, I guess its back to the drawing board for Nascar. After all these years of spit and polish, California golden boy Jeff Gordon, no more Dale Earnhart, racing atCurveball
Indy, and they even dropped one of the Darlington races this past year. Sure hasn't changed your mind none a tall any. What a waste. Your comment should have been made 20-30 years ago, thar'd be some validity to it. Scuse my redneck venackular.
YYYAAAAAAHOOOOOO
Oh yeah: Elliott Sadler

I don't quite understand why he's not in the poll, but Kurt Busch gets my vote. I'll never forget his performance in Bristol when the crowd was booing him to death. Class act, that was.
I give Tony Stewart an honorable mention too, and he should be on the poll even more that Busch.

Jeff Gordon... Nice test drive on the F1~
And he seems pretty capable on race courses other than ovals...
I always seem to look for him in the pack when I watch NASCAR...

Richard Petty, the true King of NASCAR. Complete and utter bull**** though that they made him either continue the use of the #43 or they would give it to someone else, but they let Dale's #3 go into "retirement". Dale Jr. is nowhere near the talent of his old man.
- 535
Actually, Random, that's quite incorrect.
Petty Enterprises chooses to use the #'s 43, 44, and 45 on their cars because those are the numbers they pay the sanctioning body to use. Kyle runs #45 in memoriam of his departed son Adam, the #43 car has continued on at Richard Petty's behest (been that way since Rick Wilson took the seat in 1992-3) and #44 is run when the team has money (it was Kyle's number, continuing Petty family tradition).
Richard Childress Racing still pays NASCAR for the exclusive rights to use the #3. The team chose to "retire" the number until such time as the Earnhardt family feels it's appropriate to use it.

You'd never stop to think that after Dale's death the Earnhardt family and NASCAR never made some sort of deal to push the family's name in the future to make more money and promote the sport to the status of the 'stick & ball' sports in the country? "NASCAR, it's about tradition" -my ass.

The Earnhardt name was well established before the accident.Nascar was already bigger than the other sports.
so I don't know why you would think that the 2 got together to "push" the name forward.as Layla's keeper said before,RCR owns the right to the 3 in Nascar's Nextel Cup and has decided to not use it.I dought that it will ever be used again.
