......with people bashing Dale Jr., or Michael Waltrip, or Montoya, Harvick, any Busch Brother, or any driver for that matter.  I would ask, though, that If you elect to bash a race driver, have enough courage to use your favorite driver in an avatar, or a screen name, or don't be shy about letting everyone know who your pick is.  Take mikeyfan for instance,  he is not shy about letting ANYONE know who he pulls for.  He does, for reasons I can't figure, seem to despise Dale Jr.  Thats cool with me, 'cause everyone knows where he stands.  I have seemed to notice , that a lot of people who were the most obnoxious this past week were also the ones hiding who they were fans of, or really don't know anything about NASCAR, and are just looking for an opportunity to be obnoxious!!   I guess my point is, If you have enough balls to bash on another driver, have enough to stick your neck out for yours!!!

Awesome JB, I couldn't agree more. The main reason I haven't benn posting a whole lot recently ( I'm not goin' anywhere ) is I think the tone of this board has really started to get out of hand with the bashing, name calling, trolls, etc. etc. etc. I think we're getting a lot of people from different boards that just like to come on here, and argue or start problems.

We need to take our board back to where it was a few weeks ago, that is, we are all friends who agree to disagree, without being stupid enough that we aren't friends anymore after we disagree on something.

Sorry, we're in a new month now, so that's my monthly rant. 

GO SMOKE !!!!!

Go For It, man.  I knew something was missing on here the past couple weeks.  A weekly rant could be a good thing!!

Done...I changed my avatar to the legendary Dave Owens. (as portrayed by Frankie Avalon in the classic movie "Fireball 500)

As the tagline from the movie states: " The guys who drive faster, love harder and swing harder than anyone else on earth! "

If anybody wants to attack Dave, I'll probably throw a 'lil bit of a hissy fit, but I understand that it's the price I'll pay if I say something negative about their driver.

JB, I don't really despise Dale Jr., His just not in my top 20.   Beside, I like to pull the chain of Junior Nation, just like they like to try to pull my chain. 

But you are right,  both you, Frady, Superbear and a few others no we will usually agree to disagree about our drivers, but my beef this week wasn't with the drivers as it was with those with rose colored glasses on.  It's racing and as they say S*it happens.  But I guarantee you it is not life and death for us fans, and if it gets that way then that is when that individual needs to back away from the sport, and that includes me. 

And I know I haven't said this before, but I like a lot of others am tired of hearing DW fall all overhimself about Junior.  Maybe its guilt for what he and Dale went through when they were on the track or something, I don't know but I wish DW would commentate the race like the way he drove pre-1988 and not post 1988.

my beef this week wasn't with the drivers as it was with those with rose colored glasses on. 

And it seems like most of Junior Nation does.  And therein lies my dilenma.  I am an avid Dale Jr fan, but do not like to be associated with some of the morons that call themselves Jr Fans.  I was pulling for him or Sr on that fateful day in 2001, while watching among a slew of Roush fans.  What I saw after that was a boy that was thrown into a position of trying to heal an entire organization.  Imagining the immense pressure put on him by himself, and others, I started to really feel for the guy.  But most of today's bandwagon, rock-star type Junior fans turn my stomach!!

That is why I am not a Jr. fan. Some of his fans ( JB, Frady ) are pretty smart fans that will tell ya when two guys are both going for the win in the final laps at a short track and happen to bump eachother it was just a racin' deal, but most Jr. fans want the other guy shot at sunrise, or sooner if it can be worked out.
