Merchandise Mania!

I've discovered the secret to selling lots of NASCAR merchandise. Tell people you're leaving your team at the end of the season. Of course it helps a whole lot if you're already the biggest name in the sport.
Dale Jr. merchandise sales have shot up 107 percent in the past week since he made the announcement about leaving DEI at the end of the season. People must be thinking resale on Ebay in about ten years. I mean ya gotta figure it'll be worth a lot. Dale drove the #8 for a long time. I imagine he'll change numbers with a new team but I'll bet the farm on the fact he keeps his main sponsors. So no worries there.

The All-Star race is coming up Saturday night in Charlotte under the lights and I'm with Track President Humpy Wheeler.......Jimmie Johnson is gonna win this. I'm beginning to believe it's no coincidence that his sponsor is Lowes and the track has the same sponsor as well. Jimmie's got Lowes Motor Speedway dialed in.....and on top of that he drives for Hendrick Motorsports. They've won 8 of the 10 races so far. I don't see anybody stopping them this week.
Jeff Gordon will finish 2nd....
Kevin Harvick will rise from the ashes this weekend and do well!!
Just my two cents!!
