Most of you joined this group because we're Dale Jr. fans. Some
joined because they enjoy a good beer or spirit, and yet there's
others who share a passion for both.

I have two Budweiser, special edition #8 tall boys that I keep saying
I'll crack open when Dale Jr. wins another race. You can imagine
that they're well over a year old by now. It's been frustrating for
us fans to see him come "so close" week after week, but unable to
seal the deal. I consider myself a patient fan. No one's driver can
win every race, but this is getting out of hand. However, I will
consider to support my driver, though he now drives for the dark side
and has a sponsor that when consumed, causes us to become the exact
opposite of what we want to be during a race; "Amped".

He's had success at Richmond. Night racing brings back the
atmosphere native to racing. The atmosphere is right, and if I had
my say, they would race on Saturday nights instead of Sundays. We
make the best of it, though, plugging away week after week. I don't
whine when my driver doesn't win. If anything, at least he's been
consistant so far this season. I still believe he could do better in
a crew chief than his cousin, but he believes in involving family.
However, I tend to reason this may have plagued him not only this
season, but those past. But I digress. Admittedly, it's become a
tad frustrating to see him come close, but not be there on the last
lap. I'm not sure what the answer is, I'm just a fan venting in this
forum.

Maybe this weekend gets the show turned around, maybe not. We can't
complain about his points standings, that's for sure. Regardless,
it's going to be Saturday night racing, good beer, and maybe a pizza
thrown in the mix!
