Junior wants COT changed

Well, Dale Jr. has spoken, question is, will NASCAR listen. I would think if the powers that be in NASCAR will listen to anyone, then Dale Jr., the single most marketable person in the sport would be the one.

CONCORD, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. has used his clout to get things changed in NASCAR before. His next target is the Car of Tomorrow. After struggling with the new-look car at Richmond International Raceway, Earnhardt Jr. called on NASCAR to make it easier to turn and handle.

Congrats to Jimmie Johnson on the win at Richmond. I'm thinking before June, NASCAR officials will have to change the name of the series to Hendrick Cup Racing. Hendrick drivers have won seven of the past eight races....this is getting silly!!! Between Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, nobody else can win a race, especially in the Car of Tomorrow or as we affectionately call it now, the COT.

Darlington coming up this weekend. Coming up later this week a preview and a look at the silly season so far. Right now my bets are on Jeff Gordon to win it all. He ain't playing around anymore. I think he wants to pass Bobby Allison and Cale Yarborough in victories before the year is out.

And P.S. Bobby Allison, one of the greatest drivers ever and a man who is revered at Talladega as much or more than Dale Sr.....said quote, "imbeciles" when referring to the fans who threw beer cans at Jeff Gordon last weekend when he won at Talledega and passed Dale's victory record. Cale Yarborough in a separate interview agreed. Those guys aren't afraid to speak their minds.
