Almost NASCAR time again!

Well, it's almost time for the NASCAR season to begin again. They don't get an offseason anymore, do they? By the time the banquet is over, it's about a month before they're down in Daytona testing; and the guys back at the shop get pretty much no time off, because they're getting the cars ready for next season.
A lot of interesting things are going on this year: Toyota is joining the Nextel Cup series this year with 7 teams; the Car of Tomorrow seems to have more questions than answers from the drivers and everyone else; and, of course, new faces in new rides. As a Jeff Gordon fan, naturally, I'm rooting for him to win his 5th Championship! He has a new teammate at HMS: Casey Mears replacing Brian Vickers in the 25 car, with new sponsorship from the National Guard. His other teammate, Jimmie Johnson, will be trying to defend the Nextel Cup Championship, I wouldn't bet against it, either. And, Kyle Busch will probably be a threat for the Championship, too. Looks like the potential for another great season for Rick Hendrick and Company. The Daytona 500 is 4 weeks away as I type this, and I can't wait!
