Dale Jr. announcement

The long-awaited Dale Earnhardt Jr. announcement regarding his number and main sponsor is being made tomorrow from Dallas.

Rumor has it that he will be driving the No. 88 and his primary sponsor will be Mountain Dew.

Did anyone see the pre-race show on television on Sunday? Apparently, Ken Schrader pretty much spilled the beans on live television. He pointed to the Mountain Dew that he was drinking when asked who Junior's main sponsor would be (or so I'm told). Did anyone see that?

Budweiser will now be Kasey Kahne's primary sponsor for 2008.

Yesterday I had mentioned that I thought Sunday's post-race interviews with Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart at NHIS were hilarious. Here is the audio...

Who cares about Jr and who spilled the beans on nothing. Enough with the useless attempts at Jr drama- aint gonna happen. This season isn't about him, anymore.I'd rather talk about Ward Burton.... Well maybe not.

I hope that by giving that interview, Smoke don't lose his edge. We Smokers or Stewies, as we are called, really don't want that to happen. So media should not expect an interview for 29 minutes each time, right?

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
