I would say that it was enjoyable. I watched the whole thing pretty much, except for missing the beginning because Garrett didn't want to take a nap (my mom basically declined my suggestion of him watching cars go around in circles 'til he falls asleep with something that could be summed up as, "Um, no".), and except for when I had to raid the fridge, put away some laundry, put a story in for Chelsea, and get Garrett when he woke up. Might have been better if I had had someone that I would like to see win, and certainly would have been very fun if he had. Some sound would have been nice, too... lol It was pretty cool, though.  |

Oh, I guess I should have asked... You do like apple pie, don't you? Oh, and mashed potatoes make a good topping.  |

LOL, thanks for the pie.  Jimmy Johnson is one of only half a dozen guys in 50 plus years to win four in a row. It's been 9 years since the last guy did it (Jeff Gordon). Pretty much just has to show up next week and not break anything to win. Definitely the best car and team out there, and by a good long way. |

Oh, you're welcome. It was a cinch. 4 in a row is quite a big thing then.  Have there been times of 5 in a row? Stewart did manage 4th. |

Nobody's ever won 5 in what's referred to as 'The Modern Era', which is post 1972. It's a very real possibility,

Wow! Well then, would you say that adds a little bit more to next week's race?

It sure does add something If you look at the list of guys who've won 4 since 1972: Cale Yarborough
Darrell Waltrip
Dale Earnhardt
Harry Gant
Bill Elliott
Mark Martin
Jeff Gordon
and add in the pre-1972 guys who won 5 or more (Richard Petty and Bobby Allison) you're looking at some of the greatest names in ALL of motorsports history, not just NASCAR . Gant probably doesn't fall into that category, and Martin and Wallace MAY not. 4's an impressive accomplishment, 5 would seriously be history. |

I don't see a Wallace anywhere in those that you listed. You know, out of those 9 you listed, there's only 1 name I would have recognized before these recent threads. So, since you mentioned history, when do classes commence? Seriously, would be spectacular to have a new record down in history. |

Sorry, I've got similar, parallel threads on multiple forums going.
Rusty Wallace has won 3 in a row twice, and we were discussing somewhere else how impressive that was...

How'd you manage to watch any of the race?  |
