As a nascar junkie for the past 10 years the past few months have been long. But the eagerly awaited season will take it's start on feb 9th for the bud shootout!!! yes!! It is an addiction and I have been without for a few months so the countdown begins i can't wait to get my first fix as i sit at home and pretend that I am at the track and can smell the burnt rubber and smoking fuel it is so loud I can't think and rubber often flips off the track and hits you. Yes I love it!! But as the year begins we need to say a goodbye to an old friend . The 8! The 8 was a love affair of sorts see us nascar junkies get quite atached to our drivers numbers and this year jr. will be climbing into the amp 88 car instead of the budweiser8. So we will miss you 8 you were great we have lots of great memories of you and wish you luck in the future. We will get used to seeing jr. in the 88 and look forward to a great 08 season. Good luck jr. lets burn some racetrack rubber this year.
