    I find it kind of comical, that JR, is there to test tires. His firesuit says G. oodyear, but the car has Hoosiers on it. I can't wait to see him race in competition, again. GO JR!!!

    The entire front straight should be renamed the Dale Earnhardt Jnr stand, for all that he has done from the days of planning to scan the track, to its full real life racing revival. A major salute to you Dale, as far as Im concerned you are the face of Nascar mate.
