This is the opening weekend for NASCAR, and I’m looking forward to the season.  It will be interesting to see how Junior does now that he’s with Hendrick Motorsports (I think he’ll do well).  He’s already won the Bud Shootout and one of the 125s.  It looks like Toyota is getting NASCAR figured out — they are 2-0 so far this weekend, winning the Truck race on Friday and the Nationwide race today.  This year I’m participating in a NASCAR fantasy league, which should make the season a bit more fun.
How many of you are NASCAR fans?

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!!!

This Sunday is the Daytona 500 — the official start of the NASCAR season. It looks to be an interesting year with all the rule changes, Toyota jumping in, and all the rules violations this week. I’ve joined a fantasy league this year, which should make the season a bit more entertaining (and I might even win some money). I think Toyota will start off slow, but be very competitive by season’s end. After all, they only took two years to win the Truck Series.

Tony Stewart looks strong for this season, and I think Ryan Newman will rebound from a tough 2006. Since he’s in contract negotiations, Junior should have a good year.

And let’s all hope that Kurt Busch has another lackluster season! ;-)

What are your predicitions for this season?
