Too bad junior dont drive like daddy. What? Just wrecking people left and right with no reguard for their life or safety? I hated Big E for this reason and often said he's gonna kill somebody some day. No doubt, he's on my top 5 best ever list, and I respect that, but people who cheered his suckerpunch behavior always floored me. He never messed with Bill Elliot after Bill rammed him after a race. he never messed with Tim Richmomd wither. Mark Martin would wreck trying to get out of Big E's way. And Nascar let it go on amazed me too!

And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast. And when I look scared, it means Senna is passing me again." (Alain Prost) I'm just trying to make a funny. He was a phenomenal driver.

And Nascar let it go on amazed me too! I guess the reason I liked Earnhardts driving is the fact I'd be the same type of driver in a Cup car. I always liked his "do whatever it takes to win" attitude. Heres another quote...... "Shake and bake!"- Talledaga Nights

I know you did not make it up, so I am not poking sticks at you personally, but that is such a negative statement....

It was "13" violations. My favorite was #1 on the list, "Replace tube chassis with factory chassis" That car was 7/8 scale, he was a genious!!!! "As far as cheating goes, they'll never stop it. The only way it can be done successfully, only one person can know about it.� Smokey Yunick
