 Jeff Gordon has won as many points races at Daytona as Dale Earnhardt and
Dale Earnhardt,Jr. combined.

here's a fact for ya, from Jayski;>
Interesting stat from Big: Bill Elliott's Daytona track record is 210.364.> Last year, Greg Biffle sat on the pole with a speed of 188.387. Did you > know> if those two cars were in the same race, Elliott would go by Biffle every> 8.57 laps? In a 500-mile race Biffle would get lapped 23 times. And you> thought some of the backmarkers were slow.(Caledonian Record)(2-4-2005)>

The clueless newbie fans do not know the difference. All they care about is
that all of the new drivers are well-spoken clones and the cars have good
paint schemes and most of the commercials have rock music in the background.

It is not the same rough and tumble NASCAR some of us remember.

The old NASCAR was John Wayne or Clint Eastwood and the new NASCAR is Julia
Stiles or Heath Ledger.

Pearson, Petty, Baker, Allison, and Yarborough would chew these technowhiz
kids up and spit them out.

And the clones diluted it.

I haven't a clue who the latter two yahoos are, but I get your point.>

Nascar of yesteryear had it problems:

1. nepotism (who you know, not how good a driver you were)
2. Some drivers had much better equipment than others
3. It was easier to cheat

I don't see the pretty-boy argument. I don't consider Newman, Earnhardt,
Mears, Vickers, Kahne, or JG to be extremely handsome. Not ugly, but not
gorgeous either.

As for F1, Schumacher isn't much to look at either.
