Auto Racing - October 2007

petty is not in this question because he was clearly the best in his era.the facts.for the 3 and 24.
first full season for the 3 '79;age 28.1 win ,rookie of the year 7th in the pts.missed four races due to injury.
for the 24 '93 age 21 no wins 14th in pts.
3 won first cup in 80'only driver to win ROTY and cup back2back.81 team was sold and had to find new team.
the 24 took 3 years to win a title in '95.has always been with the same team.the 24 has raced since he was 5 yrs old.the 3 was not allowed to race till he was 16yrs.
a few other tidbits.gordon equaled,not beat the record for most wins in a season in the modern era with 13.youngest driver to win the cup.earnhardt won 10 straight 125 quilifiers at daytona.also has four IROC titles. a race that is more balanced then any nascar race has been.
I say Earnhardt because he had to fight for everything he got.
Gordon is #2 just because he hasn't had to face the adversity that Dale did.

team orders on the quite don't you think. Massa should have won that, he was faultless.

I've seen the Jeff Gordon energy drink, and of course I had to try one. But now that were going to see the #88 AMP car, are people buying AMP and Mountain Dew more often?

Who is ready to watch Jeff Gordon win another one? It should be a good race to watch today. Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart need to make a move today or thier hopes of another cup will wash away.

good luck all, hope your driver does well who ever that may be.

that earnhardt jr is 13 in points and earned $4,616,820 this year. he never won a race totaled his car how many times blew it up a few times. dont you think the bum is just a tad over payed. should deduct a few repairs out of his pay. why is it the guy in last place who no one ever heard of makes more in 1 race to finish last than 10 average familys make all year. i think i should take up driving in circles the pay is pretty good

...I like Petty but he said that he would not hesitate to switch cars if it was necessary to ensure that both Petty Enterprises cars kept lining up for the Cup races -- whether that would be at the beginning of next season or at the end of this one.

...Now is that abusing the system or should it be allowed?

What if Kurt drove the 06 Dodge for the first 5 races of 2008 and Roger Penske put Sam Hornish in the number 2 car? Hornish would take advantage of the 2's ownership points, Busch could then use his past champion's provisional to guarantee qualification.

Why is Michael Waltrip still allowed to race? He doesn't do anything but crash and cause cautions.
