If you asked me in the 1970's if this was likely in the future I would have said no way. How times have changed in nearly 40 years.

You'd think they could have gotten a more talented driver.

Sorry I wasn't available so they said they would call Junior instead.

Y'all need to ease up on Junior. He's a good kid, a gentleman, and a better driver than you think he is...

Go ahead... get out there on the track with him. Knock yerself out... cool grin

Dale Jr. is a good driver. It's just that he ain't nowhere near as good as Kyle Busch.

I never said he wasn't a good guy. As NASCAR standards go, he's midpack. he has 18 wins in 9 years, and most of those wins came at RP tracks when DEI was dominate. His step mother even said he has to decide if he wants to be a rock star or a racecar driver.

Wait a minute. How does a wine and cheese eating pseudo-American F1 lover know who Kyle Busch is?

He was midpack because DEI was midpack. They were operating on less than half the budget of the big teams, like Hendrick. Anything the wicked stepmother had to say was mitigated by the fact that she was a self-serving... uhhh... can't say it here...

Note that he has been ahead of his Hendrick teammates all season. Now, if Rick would show a little backbone and get rid of Tony Eury, we could really see what Junior can do. (Yes, I am a fan. Can't help but like the kid.)

Anyway. Back on topic. I enjoyed the videos. I'm still in love with the new Solstice coupe, but I am definitely going to give the Camaro a look-see before I make a decision. (Haven't told the wife, yet. She's still getting over twelve years of Firebirds...) cheese

Sometimes I feel he gets a lot more hype than he deserves. However, the other side of that is that I don't feel people appreciate who he is as a person. I didn't like him at first, but he is "growing" on me.

And why not have him drive the Camaro? He's a Chevy guy.
