[Jonsportscardz]

[He-Man]

Dale Jr. wins his 21 Busch Series race tonight at the Winn-Dixie 250 at Daytona International Speedway. Hope this carries over to tomorrow night.

 

[Jonsportscardz]

Yea awsome win for Jr tonight Hope smoke can stay away from Matt this time lol.

 

[ZP9]

Jr. was so dominant last night. Good to see him running up front again. Loved the tranny breaking during the burn out, that was just classic

 

[G.I. Joby]

i have the first 5 drivers...not good--kj

 

[Jonsportscardz]

Shouldn't be that difficult for Matt...as usually 43rd is a long way from first.
Relax..it's a funny.that is where smoke will stay in the back lol

 

[He-Man]

The guys I picked for the race are all over the place. Good race just waiting for the Big One to happen.

 

[He-Man]

Jr. was so dominant last night. Good to see him running up front again. Loved the tranny breaking during the burn out, that was just classic

That was great.

Stewart is looking tough tonight.

 

[ZP9]

You guys should really watch a race with my wife...LOL, every time Stewarts car moves, bounces or gets near anything she jumps up and screams "oh No"..it is quite the seen...

That is awesome I am liking seeing Tony out front, but I would be much happier with the #8 up there with him,they work well together.

 

[He-Man]

That is awesome I am liking seeing Tony out front, but I would be much happier with the #8 up there with him,they work well together.

Hell yeah....now where talking. Now that the caution came out hopefully Jr. can catch him. Feel bad for Labonte but enjoyed seeing Johnson crashing.

 

[G.I. Joby]

[G.I. Joby]
