Kurt Busch's win nets Oklahoma man $1 million

Dickies' American Worker of the Year won't have to work so hard now. Michael McGee, an agricultural teacher and horse training business owner from Broken Bow, Okla., won $1 million when Kurt Busch took the checkered flag in the Dickies 500. On Saturday, McGee randomly selected one of the 12 Chase drivers to win the race. Busch was his pick, and McGee received his $1 million check from the race winner in Victory Lane. "I think I'd like to pay off my house," McGee said, "and maybe start some kind of scholarship program for kids going to college pursuing some type of career in agriculture."

Mark Martin: double-file restarts not having big impact

Stats show the double-file restarts - where the leaders are at the front - haven't had as big an impact in regard to lead changes. There have been 397 lead changes since Pocono in June when the rule was first used. There were 393 lead changes last year in the same 20-race stretch without that rule. "It has not had as big of an impact as I expected," Mark Martin said. "I dreaded it with a passion. It has worked for me. I am surprised. I really didn't think I was going to like it very much. I am not saying I love it, but I am certainly fine with it."

Gee...had Kyle Busch said this........

Joey Logano: Texas sucks

Joey Logano asked if he considers Texas a difficult track? "This place sucks. Everyone did a good job and we worked hard all day. I got caught down a lap one time and never had an opportunity to get the 'lucky dog' back. The time we went down a lap we could have waved around and we had 20 laps on our tire already. When we chose to get the 'lucky dog' the air gun broke when we tried to do that. That put us way back there and then of course the caution came out two laps after that. If we would have waved around and the air gun didn't break we probably could have got 'lucky dog' back and gotten on the lead lap. We missed out on that opportunity. As the track cooled off and got more grip we started getting more speed. By the end of the race, our speeds weren't that bad, we were just farther behind from during the day. We have to figure out how to get around these less grip race tracks."

France: NASCAR broadcasters should limit criticism

NASCAR chairman Brian France says he wants TV broadcasters that work NASCAR events to call the sport as those in other sports do and limit their areas of criticism. France made the comments in an interview with The Virginian-Pilot before Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway. The sport has been battered by critical comments from TV broadcasters the past two weeks, starting with a roundtable discussion in The Virginian-Pilot with Larry McReynolds, Jimmy Spencer and Kyle Petty. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston posted a blog entry questioning some of their comments. Last week, Poston wrote a blog entry criticizing comments made by ABC's broadcasters about the racing at Talladega. On Sunday, France spoke publicly for the first time on the issue. "Clearly, this is a sport that has a lot of opinions," France said. "Most other sports channel their thoughts and criticisms differently. That is an unusual thing that we have, to have people within the sport openly just criticizing (NASCAR) as we go along, but maybe that's something very unique in NASCAR that no other sport has to sort out. We'll sort it out."

Tony Stewart blames media for myth of boring races

Tony Stewart had harsh words for the media at Texas Motor Speedway, holding them at least partially responsible for the fan backlash from last weekend's Talladega race. "The races are exciting. It's like everybody wants the perfect race every time. You can't do that," Stewart said. "I mean, the drivers think about how they can be smart all day. "It's a situation where the race is so long that you can fight your guts out to try to get to the front in the 100 miles, but what have you accomplished? "You haven't accomplished anything, absolutely nothing." Stewart said only the final 10 to 15 laps matter. "The hardest thing is we got this room in particular that keeps telling people that it's a boring race," he said. "So we leave, and then we listen to the fans complain because it's something that they read in the magazine or read in a paper, you know, that everybody keeps trying to reinforce to them that it's a boring race."

Source: Jamie McMurray en route to Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing

Jamie McMurray, fresh off his first Sprint Cup Series win in two years, now appears to have a full-time job for the 2010 season, the Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned. McMurray is set to drive Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing's No. 1 Chevrolet starting next season, reuniting the 33-year-old driver from Joplin, Mo., with his first team owner in Cup, Chip Ganassi, multiple sources said Sunday. A formal announcement of McMurray's move to the Earnhardt-Ganassi team is expected by the Nov. 22 race at Homestead, Fla., sources said.

What's left of the original Evernham Motorsports engine shop is expected to shut down on Monday, according to multiple sources. Richard Petty Motorsports will retain the necessary personnel to complete the final two races of the season when engine duties will revert to Roush Yates engines with the move to Ford. With the merger of RPM and Yates Racing, the Petty crew chiefs were told that each team would be able to keep 17 crewmen per team. The overall reduction for the organization is expected to be 200 of 250 employees once the deal is complete.
The NASCAR workforce shrunk by 47 people on Monday as Richard Petty Motorsports took the first steps toward shutting down its engine department in Concord, NC. RPM is making reductions in its staff with the impending merger with Yates Racing. Additional cuts are expected in the car shop in Statesville, N.C. on Tuesday. Sources said on Sunday that the three remaining teams expected to join forces with Yates will retain 17 crewmen per team. But given the move to Ford which started at Talladega with #19-Elliott Sadler on Oct. 30th and continued this past weekend with #44-AJ Allmendinger at Texas, there's no need to continue building new Dodge cars or engines. The engine department will continue to employ 14 employees through the end of the season to assist in the organization for the final two races. Roush Yates Engines will supply powerplants for the team in 2010.

I have a theory on why he is not winning anything...

Junslug's driving style is rough on an engine. Hear me out........ Where line does he prefer to run? All the way up against the wall. That is good in the fact that you keep the engine wound up and you sustain power through the corners. But, the engine never gets a "rest period". That much sustained RPM is really hard on a powerplant. Granted, the HMS engines have taken the abuse MUCH better than the DEI engines ever could, but no engine is bulletproof (or Juniorproof) . The results..... ....Higher speed, more power, more torque at the higher RPM's, but it really shortens engine life. He needs to learn to drive it down into the corners, but I don't think he has the ability !

Danica Patrick bad for Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

Given the absolutely terrible season Junior has had in 2009, the worst year of his nearly decade-long Cup career, is bringing Danica Patrick onboard really a smart move in the whole big scheme of things? Shouldn't Dale Earnhardt Jr, be concentrating and be solely focused on resurrecting his career and vastly improving his performance in 2010? I don't know about you, but while bringing Patrick into the company may be a great business decision, it's going to also become something Junior doesn't need if he's going to try and dig himself out of the huge hole he's fall into: a huge distraction.

Carl Edwards is a three-time winner at Texas. The only other repeat winner is Jeff Burton with two wins. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. have all won at Texas, as have Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman. That’s all six HMS (or HMS-powered) teams that have won in the big state. In fact, this is where Junior won his first Cup race.
Ten of 17 Texas races have been won from starting in the top five, and Matt Kenseth’s #17 won from the furthest back in the field after starting 31st. Last year’s November race at Texas had its lowest attendance on record, and while it’s expected to be about the same this year, it will still have a showing of more fans than any other Chase race.
More than 88 million dollars has been awarded in purse money for the 17 races held at Texas. On Sunday the purse will exceed $7.3 million. Though master promoter Eddie Gossage runs the place, the track is one of Bruton Smith's. Together they gained favor of season ticket holders when they mailed out thousands of new coolers for fans to bring to the track after NASCAR banned them at ISC-owned venues, post 9/11.
The fastest pole speed was set in 1996 by Brian Vickers with a speed of more than 196mph. He finished 27th. ZZ Top will perform a pre-race concert this year at Texas. Lest anyone get the idea that Talladega has the most loyal infield fans, Eddie Gossage had this to say when he arrived at work Monday morning: “Drove into work this morning and there are thousands of people who pulled their campers into the parking lot over the weekend. As Bill Murray said, ‘What's this? A surprise party??!! For me??!! ’ After 30 years of doing this I still get pumped up!!!” That is fan loyalty, and that is a man blessed with a job he loves!
Only one sponsor (Office Depot) has been to victory lane more than once at Texas. This will be the fifth fall race at Texas, but the last sponsored by Dickies, the first (and only) sponsor of the November race.

ABC crew can’t hide enthusiasm for Johnson’s misfortune

By admin | November 8, 2009

By Richard Allen

One place you will probably never see the ABC/ESPN crew that covered Sunday’s Dickies 500 is at the final table of the World Series of Poker championship. In recent weeks they have had a bit of trouble hiding their emotions. In other words, they have not had their poker faces on.

When Jimmie Johnson spun and crashed early in the going at the Texas Motor Speedway it seemed pretty apparent by the tones of the voices of those describing the action that they were at least relieved if not excited that the outcome of the Sprint Cup championship would not be a foregone conclusion going into the last two races of the season.

I am not saying the television announcers were glad to see Johnson crash, but I am saying they were glad there was actually a championship contest coming out of Texas. If anyone doubts that, just go back and count the number of times they made reference to the misfortune of the #48 car during the remainder of Sunday‘s telecast.

Last week in Talladega, this same crew came under fire from NASCAR for telling the truth about the poor racing and the strange decision by the sanctioning body to impose a new policy on drivers about an hour before the drop of the green flag.

On more than one occasion this season, the announcers have made no mystery that they would like to see a caution displayed in the waning laps of the races they cover so that the field might be bunched for an exciting finish. And when that caution invariably would come out after their pleas were heeded by NASCAR the joy in their voices was quite often unmistakable.

Again, I’m not saying the ABC broadcast crew wanted Jimmie Johnson to crash. However, they are keenly aware that it is easier to promote a battle for the championship that goes down to the wire than to promote a driver’s leisurely cruise to a fourth consecutive title. And more, this piece was not written to necessarily criticize the broadcast crew. I like people who say what they think rather than what they think will be the least offensive. I appreciated the fact that they said what they thought in Talladega. Also, if I were involved in the broadcast business I would want a close championship battle as well.

But one thing to remember about Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett, Andy Petree, Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty is to not look for them during ESPN’s telecast of the WSOP championship. They do not hide their emotions very well. The last few weeks prove that.

If it was, he could have millions of additional deals with companies wanting him to sell their products. I almost see him like Kyle Petty, and how he was compared to Richard, even though their personalities were totally different. I also feel his father's death affected him way more than most will ever realize. Al

Given the absolutely terrible season Junior has had in 2009, the worst year of his nearly decade-long Cup career, is bringing Danica Patrick onboard really a smart move in the whole big scheme of things? Shouldn't Dale Earnhardt Jr, be concentrating and be solely focused on resurrecting his career and vastly improving his performance in 2010? I don't know about you, but while bringing Patrick into the company may be a great business decision, it's going to also become something Junior doesn't need if he's going to try and dig himself out of the huge hole he's fall into: a huge distraction.

I fell asleep there when I went. I will admit that I had been up late partying the night before(had to throw that in before Kim gives me that constant reminder) but even so, I still would have dozed off. The best part of that race to me the year I went was Terry Labonte bringing out the old Laguna. That was cool!! Tony spanking the field was great but it did get boring real quick. Very nice facility though.

ABC crew can’t hide enthusiasm for Johnson’s misfortune

By admin | November 8, 2009

By Richard Allen

One place you will probably never see the ABC/ESPN crew that covered Sunday’s Dickies 500 is at the final table of the World Series of Poker championship. In recent weeks they have had a bit of trouble hiding their emotions. In other words, they have not had their poker faces on.

When Jimmie Johnson spun and crashed early in the going at the Texas Motor Speedway it seemed pretty apparent by the tones of the voices of those describing the action that they were at least relieved if not excited that the outcome of the Sprint Cup championship would not be a foregone conclusion going into the last two races of the season.

I am not saying the television announcers were glad to see Johnson crash, but I am saying they were glad there was actually a championship contest coming out of Texas. If anyone doubts that, just go back and count the number of times they made reference to the misfortune of the #48 car during the remainder of Sunday‘s telecast.

Last week in Talladega, this same crew came under fire from NASCAR for telling the truth about the poor racing and the strange decision by the sanctioning body to impose a new policy on drivers about an hour before the drop of the green flag.

On more than one occasion this season, the announcers have made no mystery that they would like to see a caution displayed in the waning laps of the races they cover so that the field might be bunched for an exciting finish. And when that caution invariably would come out after their pleas were heeded by NASCAR the joy in their voices was quite often unmistakable.

Again, I’m not saying the ABC broadcast crew wanted Jimmie Johnson to crash. However, they are keenly aware that it is easier to promote a battle for the championship that goes down to the wire than to promote a driver’s leisurely cruise to a fourth consecutive title. And more, this piece was not written to necessarily criticize the broadcast crew. I like people who say what they think rather than what they think will be the least offensive. I appreciated the fact that they said what they thought in Talladega. Also, if I were involved in the broadcast business I would want a close championship battle as well.

But one thing to remember about Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett, Andy Petree, Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty is to not look for them during ESPN’s telecast of the WSOP championship. They do not hide their emotions very well. The last few weeks prove that.

Junslug's driving style is rough on an engine. Hear me out........ Where line does he prefer to run? All the way up against the wall. That is good in the fact that you keep the engine wound up and you sustain power through the corners. But, the engine never gets a "rest period". That much sustained RPM is really hard on a powerplant. Granted, the HMS engines have taken the abuse MUCH better than the DEI engines ever could, but no engine is bulletproof (or Juniorproof) . The results..... ....Higher speed, more power, more torque at the higher RPM's, but it really shortens engine life. He needs to learn to drive it down into the corners, but I don't think he has the ability !

http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/10339954/Hamlin-questions-Gordon%27s-motives-on-bump-drafting

FORT WORTH, Texas - So what provoked Denny Hamlin to tweet "Jeff G (Gordon) told NASCAR we shouldn't be bump drafting ... Cuz they never did in the past. Who's running this sport?"

Before driver introductions for Sunday's Dickies 500, Hamlin questioned Gordon's motives.

Although Hamlin has tremendous respect for the four-time champion, he wonders whether Gordon lobbied NASCAR for the safety of all the competitors or because he couldn't get the No. 24 to perform the bump drafting to his liking?

"It's just frustrating that a driver has enough power to change how the whole field has to run," Hamlin said. "I think it should be a little broader group. I think it was a knee-jerk reaction by NASCAR wanting to please Jeff.

"Here's the thing, Jeff made comments earlier to me that his car wouldn't push very well. Of course, he wanted to get rid of that rule because it took away some of the advantage that the other guys had. Jeff, at times, looks out for himself. But I know he has the best interest of the sport at hand."

Hamlin is in his fourth full season in the Sprint Cup Series. Although he's a long way from reaching Gordon's stature, Hamlin's visibility has grown by qualifying for the Chase each of those four years and accumulating seven wins in 148 starts.

And with Hamlin turning 29 this month, the senior driver at Joe Gibbs Racing would like to take more of an authoritative role in the sport. Hamlin also lobbied for NASCAR to make more decisions by committee � or at least hearing from a wide variety of voices before a suggestion becomes an edict.

Jeff Gordon was not available for comment prior to Sunday's race but on Friday, he admitted that he approached the sanctioning body to address the perils of bump drafting.

Gordon added, "The open-door policy has its benefits" and "the biggest thing" he's seen since coming to the sport "was having the large group of drivers coming together in one room.

"If you really want to get something done, that's how you get it done, behind closed doors with that group. I think it's great they're reaching out. I think the more they can do with that, the better.

"It's just frustrating that a driver has enough power to change how the whole field has to run"
� Denny Hamlin on Jeff Gordon

"The drivers feel like they're a part of the sport, what's going on, decisions that are being made. Just giving our input I think can help them make better decisions. So I'm all for it."

Yet for whatever reason, Hamlin doesn't feel that he's part of that clique. However, that's not going to stop the driver from voicing his opinion.

"I know it's an open-door policy," Hamlin said. "But myself, I've never been invited to any kind of private meeting or whatever that I've heard has happened. I'd like to think that I'll be in this sport for the next 15 or 20 years so they might want my opinion. I plan on being around here for a long time.

"I'm going to say what I think, regardless, through Twitter or whatever. I'm going to let people know my opinion. If NASCAR asks me, I'll tell them I think they made a mistake with that rule. I'll tell them that to their face. It's no big deal. But I wish they'd take a little more time to think about changing rules versus making a reaction right away because one driver's not happy about it."

Speaking of Jr......

Just heard Danica is in the final negotiations with DEJr
motorsports on a nationwide ride for 2 yrs.Jaime Little had
the best and most insightfull comment on the subject.She
said" Danica is the Dale Earnhardt Jr. of The IRL".Isn't
that really the truth since both suck at racing yet can make
millions for really doing nothing at all. Just my opinion lol

Junior will win in Texas, because I will be cheering him on! I heard on our local news last night that their will be over 170,000 people at TMS for the races. They were interviewing the track owner, and he said that was how many tickets were sold. I cannot wait to see them race.

Carl Edwards is a three-time winner at Texas. The only other repeat winner is Jeff Burton with two wins. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. have all won at Texas, as have Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman. That’s all six HMS (or HMS-powered) teams that have won in the big state. In fact, this is where Junior won his first Cup race.
Ten of 17 Texas races have been won from starting in the top five, and Matt Kenseth’s #17 won from the furthest back in the field after starting 31st. Last year’s November race at Texas had its lowest attendance on record, and while it’s expected to be about the same this year, it will still have a showing of more fans than any other Chase race.
More than 88 million dollars has been awarded in purse money for the 17 races held at Texas. On Sunday the purse will exceed $7.3 million. Though master promoter Eddie Gossage runs the place, the track is one of Bruton Smith's. Together they gained favor of season ticket holders when they mailed out thousands of new coolers for fans to bring to the track after NASCAR banned them at ISC-owned venues, post 9/11.
The fastest pole speed was set in 1996 by Brian Vickers with a speed of more than 196mph. He finished 27th. ZZ Top will perform a pre-race concert this year at Texas. Lest anyone get the idea that Talladega has the most loyal infield fans, Eddie Gossage had this to say when he arrived at work Monday morning: “Drove into work this morning and there are thousands of people who pulled their campers into the parking lot over the weekend. As Bill Murray said, ‘What's this? A surprise party??!! For me??!! ’ After 30 years of doing this I still get pumped up!!!” That is fan loyalty, and that is a man blessed with a job he loves!
Only one sponsor (Office Depot) has been to victory lane more than once at Texas. This will be the fifth fall race at Texas, but the last sponsored by Dickies, the first (and only) sponsor of the November race.

I think you have him pegged all wrong. While he may have a lot on his plate, I don't feel any of it is money driven. If it was, he could have millions of additional deals with companies wanting him to sell their products.

I also feel his father's death affected him way more than most will ever realize. Al

Yes, that is my opinion. He has WAY too much on his plate so I think that it is more about money. Nothing bad about that. I love money just like the next guy but I would really love to win too.

What would be even funnier is if she won a race or two. I wish her well.

Danica Patrick bad for Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

Given the absolutely terrible season Junior has had in 2009, the worst year of his nearly decade-long Cup career, is bringing Danica Patrick onboard really a smart move in the whole big scheme of things? Shouldn't Dale Earnhardt Jr, be concentrating and be solely focused on resurrecting his career and vastly improving his performance in 2010? I don't know about you, but while bringing Patrick into the company may be a great business decision, it's going to also become something Junior doesn't need if he's going to try and dig himself out of the huge hole he's fall into: a huge distraction.

He was cheered big time when he crushed! Kyle Busch got booed big time too. I felt sorry for Kyle. He is a great driver, and they should not boo the drivers. I would hate to be on that track going nearly 200 miles an hour, and have to make a split second decision. They deserve the money they make for risking their live's to race. I did not realize how fast they did go. I sure would not want to be in that mess!

ABC crew can’t hide enthusiasm for Johnson’s misfortune

By admin | November 8, 2009

By Richard Allen

One place you will probably never see the ABC/ESPN crew that covered Sunday’s Dickies 500 is at the final table of the World Series of Poker championship. In recent weeks they have had a bit of trouble hiding their emotions. In other words, they have not had their poker faces on.

When Jimmie Johnson spun and crashed early in the going at the Texas Motor Speedway it seemed pretty apparent by the tones of the voices of those describing the action that they were at least relieved if not excited that the outcome of the Sprint Cup championship would not be a foregone conclusion going into the last two races of the season.

I am not saying the television announcers were glad to see Johnson crash, but I am saying they were glad there was actually a championship contest coming out of Texas. If anyone doubts that, just go back and count the number of times they made reference to the misfortune of the #48 car during the remainder of Sunday‘s telecast.

Last week in Talladega, this same crew came under fire from NASCAR for telling the truth about the poor racing and the strange decision by the sanctioning body to impose a new policy on drivers about an hour before the drop of the green flag.

On more than one occasion this season, the announcers have made no mystery that they would like to see a caution displayed in the waning laps of the races they cover so that the field might be bunched for an exciting finish. And when that caution invariably would come out after their pleas were heeded by NASCAR the joy in their voices was quite often unmistakable.

Again, I’m not saying the ABC broadcast crew wanted Jimmie Johnson to crash. However, they are keenly aware that it is easier to promote a battle for the championship that goes down to the wire than to promote a driver’s leisurely cruise to a fourth consecutive title. And more, this piece was not written to necessarily criticize the broadcast crew. I like people who say what they think rather than what they think will be the least offensive. I appreciated the fact that they said what they thought in Talladega. Also, if I were involved in the broadcast business I would want a close championship battle as well.

But one thing to remember about Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett, Andy Petree, Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty is to not look for them during ESPN’s telecast of the WSOP championship. They do not hide their emotions very well. The last few weeks prove that.

I have two main things I felt bad for about the race in Texas. Number one was Kyle Busch. Three more laps and he would have set another record and made history. There is a huge future ahead of him for sure. The second was Junior. I like Junior and it sure would be nice to see him win at least one race this season. It was a typical day for Junior. Run towards the front most of the day if not all day, only to fall back at the end. He does have what it takes to win but something is missing and they need to figure it out.

Oh, and how 'bout that carl Edwards.....

Junslug's driving style is rough on an engine. Hear me out........ Where line does he prefer to run? All the way up against the wall. That is good in the fact that you keep the engine wound up and you sustain power through the corners. But, the engine never gets a "rest period". That much sustained RPM is really hard on a powerplant. Granted, the HMS engines have taken the abuse MUCH better than the DEI engines ever could, but no engine is bulletproof (or Juniorproof) . The results..... ....Higher speed, more power, more torque at the higher RPM's, but it really shortens engine life.

Speaking of Jr......

Just heard Danica is in the final negotiations with DEJr
motorsports on a nationwide ride for 2 yrs.Jaime Little had
the best and most insightfull comment on the subject.She
said" Danica is the Dale Earnhardt Jr. of The IRL".Isn't
that really the truth since both suck at racing yet can make
millions for really doing nothing at all. Just my opinion lol

Junior will win in Texas, because I will be cheering him on! I heard on our local news last night that their will be over 170,000 people at TMS for the races. They were interviewing the track owner, and he said that was how many tickets were sold. I cannot wait to see them race.

Carl Edwards is a three-time winner at Texas. The only other repeat winner is Jeff Burton with two wins. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. have all won at Texas, as have Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman. That’s all six HMS (or HMS-powered) teams that have won in the big state. In fact, this is where Junior won his first Cup race.
Ten of 17 Texas races have been won from starting in the top five, and Matt Kenseth’s #17 won from the furthest back in the field after starting 31st. Last year’s November race at Texas had its lowest attendance on record, and while it’s expected to be about the same this year, it will still have a showing of more fans than any other Chase race.
More than 88 million dollars has been awarded in purse money for the 17 races held at Texas. On Sunday the purse will exceed $7.3 million. Though master promoter Eddie Gossage runs the place, the track is one of Bruton Smith's. Together they gained favor of season ticket holders when they mailed out thousands of new coolers for fans to bring to the track after NASCAR banned them at ISC-owned venues, post 9/11.
The fastest pole speed was set in 1996 by Brian Vickers with a speed of more than 196mph. He finished 27th. ZZ Top will perform a pre-race concert this year at Texas. Lest anyone get the idea that Talladega has the most loyal infield fans, Eddie Gossage had this to say when he arrived at work Monday morning: “Drove into work this morning and there are thousands of people who pulled their campers into the parking lot over the weekend. As Bill Murray said, ‘What's this? A surprise party??!! For me??!! ’ After 30 years of doing this I still get pumped up!!!” That is fan loyalty, and that is a man blessed with a job he loves!
Only one sponsor (Office Depot) has been to victory lane more than once at Texas. This will be the fifth fall race at Texas, but the last sponsored by Dickies, the first (and only) sponsor of the November race.
