Today's announcement from Dallas of what number Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be driving and his primary sponsors are official.
His new car number will be 88 and his primary sponsors: Amp Energy Drink and the National Guard.
It really didn't matter to me what his number or primary sponsors were going to be. I am just glad that this drama is over.

Budweiser sponsorship -is going to Kasey Kahne. Honestly, I had not seen this before so I had to share it with you. This is from a press conference when Kahne was announced as the new driver for Budweiser. It has got to be the hokiest thing I've ever seen. He looks completely scared out of his mind.
Now I have absolutely nothing against Kahne but I must say he doesn't fit the Budweiser image to me. I would peg him to be more of a Bud Light man, to be perfectly honest.
Whoops did I say Mtn Dew?? Geez I dont even know my own sponsors yet..Too busy trying to find my Bud car..Ok he can have the Amp energy drink car i guess.
Maybe the Koolaid car is already taken by some other baby-faced scared kid. Don't see any diaper cars neither, like Johnson and Johnson No Tears Shampoo ride. Maybe that's because Kasey is only the interim driver for Lorne Wallace- 100 miles from striking distance.

What's in Texas? Was he turning some laps there in his new ride? Did step-mommy give him a note to say it was ok? I'll be happy we he gets in a car that does not blow-up or spin out.

Save the drama for his momma. Since neither one is in the chase, why not let them drive the new rides for the last nine races.

Texas = 1st Busch series win and 1st Cup series win, probably the reason for the location of the annoucement.

That nakes as much sense as my driving to the location of where the hospital use to be when I was born thirty something years ago, every birthday.

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.
