We will just have to agree to disagree. Fact is, it hurts nothing and prevents issues. Remember the Brickyard debacle a couple years ago? Yea, if a caution flag prevents that shit again, then I'm all for it.

Juniors screwed. Don't even get your hopes up coyote. We all know there is no way in hell Junior ever finishes 27 spots ahead of Kurt.

Not getting hopes up, yet. But I love the start of the season. I really think Jr has a good chance of making the chase this year. Baby steps, Chiefs.

That late race wreck at daytona, hurt him. But he seems to be in a rhythm, and it is encouraging.

All star voting also starts Wednesday, the 23rd.

If you have sprint cup mobile on your phone, each entry is worth two for that driver you vote for.

Vote early, vote often!!

i'm just saying the new points system favors winning drivers so much that 30 top 10's won't get a title but 20 top 10s with 5 wins will.

But it actually starts from the first race after the All-star race.

So anybody who has won a race from the 600 last year, to the All-star race of this year, is eligible for the All star race 2011. Also past winners (of an All star race) make the race.

They have a fan vote every year. With the showdown and fan vote, 3 drivers will get to race in the All Star race that weren't eligible.

Wins don't equal championships. Consistency matters. You're not going to have a car capable of winning every week.

Jr will be driving a brand new chassis for the California race.

He will also be driving in the Aarons 312 NNS race at 'Dega on April 16. Could he sweep the weekend? :D
