Well, I thought #20 was going to pull it off. I was on the edge of the couch for the last 10 laps. I was hoping Tony would do it, but at the same time, I wanted to see Dale Jr. have a good race as well. I actually was hoping in a way that he would win it. I was pleased with the outcome of the race, though. I always like to see the younger drivers do well too. The young drivers are the future of racing, just as the young athletes are the future of any sport. While it is nice to see the old favorites do what they do best, I really like it when the young people do well. While I will always cheer Tony on...and I will likely become more of a Dale Jr. fan this year, I will never mind either of them coming in second if it means that a rookie gets that first win, or first championship. NASCAR is really the only sport where I really have a favorite team, but I really just like to watch a good race no matter who wins. This is my view on the other couple of sports I watch. Aside from NASCAR, baseball is the other sport that I follow. I don't really have a favorite baseball team, but if I had to chose one, I would have to go with the Florida Marlins or the Chicago Cubs. I grew up watching the Atlanta Braves and the Cubs on TV, and I have been to a Braves game in Atlanta. One thing I don't like about the Braves is that they seem to play their hearts out to get to the playoffs, then they quit trying, so I tend to lean more with the Cubs. I started following the Marlins the first year they played, and have been cheering them on every since. So, what I am wondering if I anyone else out there shares my views on this. Who is your favorite driver? Are there any other teams you like to see do well? Are you a die-hard fan of one team in NASCAR or any other sport, or do you just like to seem players do well and watch a good race or game? What is more important to you?
