Follow an up and coming driver named Travis Cope, who might become the
next Jeff Gordon.
Very poised for his age and his Dad is Mike Cope.....he races and also
owns Brandon Racetrack in FL.
Check him out.
LeafRacewear manufactures their racesuits,,,,,,,,also did Paul Dana's.
Shame about him.

cyndy, I'm one of those rare Jeff Gordon fans who isn't afraid to admit
it. I hope that Jeff Gordon is the next Jeff Gordon. I'd like to see
him regain his winning ways. Mike has run in a lot of different series
and is best known for his short track racing. Travis comes from good
bloodlines!

I guess the common thread here is they all drive Chevrolets?
However, I can't recall seeing either Stewart or Johnson driving
Corvettes for anything.

Go 24!

I about gave up on Stewart until he bought Eldora and got to watch him
run there. There have been some great dirt track racers there over the
years and he makes it look easy. Sometimes I think he could run the
watering truck and whip most drivers. Actually I do like Martin,
mostly because he can do the flip better than knucklehead. I doubt
that Mark drives a Corvette but then it wouldn't surprise me if he had
one. I'm not sure what Harry Gant drove most of his career but he is
my all-time favorite driver. But then there was Buddy Baker, Tiny
Lund, Fireball Roberts, and .......

While testing out here in Vegas a few years back Stewart bought one of those
Series 2 cars that were built by Carrol Shelby. He used to build them right
next to the track in his facility. I have a friend who works security at the
track and he told me that Stewart put on quite a show with the car on the
infield.

Jr drove a vette with his dad at 24 hrs of Daytona
Brett Bodine now is regular pace car driver and drives a vette (Jay Leno did
it at Daytona)
Harry Gant drove the Skoal Bandit for much of his career and I believe it
was a Buick
ps, Stewart bought his crew chief (Zippy) a vette when he won the
championship
My driver is Jeff Burton who is now in a Chevy

Yes, as his carrer wound down he was driving the Skol Bandit Buick and
his last year he drove a Chevrolet Lumina but I don't know what he was
driving from 1972 until then. Looks like mostly Chevrolets, some Olds,
but mostly he talked about his Chevrolets.

Yep and raced online for years in the Pro Leagues, I've run with Dale Jr
in the VRW league,
Martin Truex, Kyle Bush, Denny Hamlin....
I've run in the ProHCS leagues, VRW Trans Am Circuit, and with my many
European
buddies in Europe in the ProGrandPrixLegends 1960s Formula One leagues.

That VRW Pro series was the most nerve racking thing you can do behind a
computer... LOLOL
And would suck ALL your free time working on qual and racing setups all
week.

This year in NASCAR I'm pulling for Mikey, but he's got to get it in gear..
And I'm getting fed up with Helton trying to suck all the drama out of
the series.
If he isn't careful it will turn into a Casper Milqtoast series....
I wanna see some scuffles in the pits and some bumping on the track! LOLOLOL

I think Busch, Stewart, Harvick and those guys are more of an asset to
the series
than most give them credit for.

I also follow F1. My Mother is a racing nut. I've got pics of her in
Monaco in the early
60's sitting on haybales near the Swimming Pool curve right next to the
track. Too cool!!!

I'd love to see Jr doing better myself...
He's a very good steward of NASCAR.
Dad would be proud.

I hate that the Jr/Mikey duo broke up.
They were a marketing dream. Funny funny commercials.
But as the stories go, Mikey was getting aggravated by having
so many DEI R&D parts on his cars.

So much of what dictates to these drivers is sponsorship,,,,it costs
millions for these teams to exist. Much of the time it's the sponsers
and management calling the shots.

I believe Tony does own a Vette as well as the Ghini and on and on....I
like him...he's grown up a lot in the past couple of years.

Let's keep an eye on Travis Cope, who drives a big ol' truck...not sure
what kind...view on his MYSPACE site.

Your Mom sounds like hot stuff...how awesome to have been in Monaco up
so close! Is she still around?

What do you think about the 2 girlfriends getting into a cat fight at
the track??? That is soooo tasteless and what gives Nascar a bad rep/on
the other hand, maybe some guys just eat that kind of stuff up...dunno.

Eagles screaming by
