Yeah, I enjoy being able to bring my own perspective into the writing world. Pretty much everyone in the media is the same: They kiss up. That's why I like to mix it up a little bit on here. Glad to see that some people enjoy it! Thanks Steve! Yeah, I enjoy being able to bring my own perspective into the writing world. Pretty much everyone in the media is the same: They kiss up.

Probably a too sarcastic comment by me, but it in no way measures "down", not up, to the standards set by Marc! I would have been overjoyed to see Brian V. stay close to the top. He has some of the same directness and talent we both see in Jeremy Mayfield. And he was not a kissass in the Hendrick mix. Maybe Brian is this year's model of Kyle Busch, a Hendrick reject who also plummeted to the bottom of the top 12. Also, there's an old saying that you have to lose a championship before you win one, which fits Dale Jarrett well, among others. So how many does Mark have to lose before his triumph? Hopper, it's a pleasure to share opinions with a guy who goes out on a limb to hopefully breathe interest into a racing series that is a mere shadow of its former status, due to being run by a questionable family member of a dynasty who HAD the gift to balance the needs of all involved groups. A very sad scenario. Hello Hopper!
