Nice to see I'm not the only one watching, =D>
No Richard Petty, and no Jeff Gordon in the 500
this marks the first time in 42 yrs. that I don't have a dog in the fight as they say

I quit following in the early probably 10 years ago. I still try to catch the 500 every year.
I was a big Petty fan when I was a kid. I think all of the drivers I like have now retired too.

You really can't count out either of the Bush brothers,
they have a way of getting to the front and staying there
I got my eye on Denny Hamlin
just got to keep your nose clean for the first 150 laps

They also don't seem to be able to drive of the grass if the front nose has been smashed in
I'm enjoying listening to Gordon up in the both, not that DW doesn't know what he is talking about,
its just nice to have an updated drivers perspective

DW's novelty wore off quite a few years ago. He makes me wish I could mute the commentary and just listen to the cars.
