Finally some JR love

Finally, Speed channel recognized Junior at Daytona today being 11th fastest overall. He said that he's going to run 8a for the 500. Also, he was listening to his iPod while cruising Daytona. Bad news for Martin, they are back to the drawing board. Steve Hmeal [misspelled his last name] and couple other peeps flew back to DEI to build him another car. His numbers look really bad but Martin is very optimistic.

Even Tony Stewart is showing some love:
Q: Tony, it's Liz Clarke from the Washington Post. I hope you don't mind if I ask you to comment on another driver. But since you've raced alongside and with Dale Jr., I'm wondering if you could just comment on what you see as his abilities as a driver and whether NASCAR fans have seen him reach his potential yet.

STEWART: It's a good thing I watched ‘SportsCenter’ this morning so I could hear his quotes on that, I guess. You know, he's a great driver. I mean, you don't get to the level of NEXTEL Cup by not being a good driver. You know, I think he's proven himself already. I was listening to his quotes this morning about he's the only one who knows his true potential. You know, from outside we know that he's got a lot of talent, but in this day and age it's not – a driver is not going to carry a race team. It's so technical nowadays that you could be a 10 times better driver than anybody else on the circuit, but if you don't have the right crew, equipment, cars, you're not going to be successful. So you know, I really don't know what to tell you on that other than just I have the utmost confidence in him. I think he's one of the best restrictor-plate drivers that's ever lived and his knowledge of restrictor-plate racing, and I think he's a great race car driver in all the other disciplines. He's won it, all disciplines. So I think his record speaks for itself so far.


As I was peeling my orange in the kitchen, Jeopardy had a NASCAR column on the board. I guessed them all right, too.

In other news...

The Detroit auto show is in full swing and I already like what they have.
Lexus' wannabe Maybach, Infiniti's new G35 with a glass roof like the Scion tC, Lincoln's new concepts, the futuristic new Camero, 07 Toyota Camery with Hybrid Synergy drive. I'll present more stuff when each day is showed.

Is it February yet?
