Being an older Dale Earnhardt SR MONSTER FAN, I have followed Jr's career from the start. I think DEI SCREWED him something bad(6 DIN)last year, and it is really exciting to see his talent raise to the top with his new team. As for Tony and the TOYOTA'S, last year that car sucked. Now ALL the teams are running rubber stamped (exact same car designs), just like the TRANS AM's in the IROC series were. Dale Sr was a master in that IROC car because of his driving skills. Same thing will now pretty much happen with the COT, the best drivers will be up front. Just a side comment: before Dale's death, when he had the Penzoil car in his team, he had Steve Parks as the driver. When Steve got hurt, he asked Darrell Waltrip to take over for awhile. Waltrip at that time had his own car, and was doing horrible. When he took over Parks ride, Waltrip got into the top 5 and even lead some races. So it goes to show you that if you have the best equipment, you are going to do well if you can drive, and I know that this will be a VERY GOOD YEAR for Earnhardt Jr. By the way, anybody see him on QVC(For Race Fans Only)last nite. I bought some of his 24K(244 made) and Platinum(144 made)cars for resale at a later date. Hope it's going to be a good investment, if not SEND'EM BACK!
