Mine is Jeff Gordon. I've been watching him since day one.

Next would be Jimmie Johnson.

Remember, 24 x 2 = 48

 

interesting story from the past.
during the early 1970's, Jody Ridley dominated the dirt tracks across the south in his blue Ford Falcon with a big block 42?. As a wide eyed teenager, i used to watch my neighbors race against him at Dixie Speedway's dirt track in Woodstock Ga. Ridley moved up to Grand National (saturday race) and then Winston Cup (sunday race). from wiki- His career statistics include 140 career starts, 1 win, 7 top fives, 56 top tens, and 2 top ten points finishes (5th in 1981, and 7th in 1980). He also won rookie of the year in 1980. He drove on a very very low budget team, and i read somewhere they ran all of 1980 with only 1 car and a few engines? not sure about this. Unfortunately, he never got the opportunity in a big money team.

He returned to short track racing in the late 80's, again dominating the All-Pro series, winning several championships. He racked up well over 500 short track wins. impressive.

from Nascar/Ford...
• 1971 -- Ford Racing suspends all racing support and involvement when its engineering staffs are forced to turn its attention to meeting vehicle safety and emission regulations. • 1981 -- Ford returns to NASCAR in order to regain a connection with younger buyers the company believes it is losing. However, the timing isn't exactly right. It coincides with the recession and billion-dollar losses at Ford. Still, the company scores seven wins in 31 Cup events, led by Neil Bonnett, who wins three times. Ford's highest finisher in the standings that year is Jody Ridley, who finishes fifth with one win and 18 top-10s in 31 starts.

It is becuase Gordon is a whiney bitch. He cries and complains about everything. Also a hypocrite. He would bitch and complain about other drivers bump drafting but he did it himself. He is a disgrace to nascar. Watch your mouth speaking about Dale Earnhardt. He was the greatest driver of all time, and I gaurantee you if you talk trash about him at an actual race you will more than likely end up with a broken jaw and your car destroyed. Jr on the other hand, he doesnt deserve to wear the name Dale Earnhardt.

 

It didn't look like he was trashing Sr at all. More like saying Jr will never be as great as Sr.

 

Haha that's why I stick to calling him fancy boy.

Airwolf you sounded just like him makin excuses and whining bout it. LOL. Man I was good seeing Gordon eat the wall (seeing he wasnt hurt)

Stewart and junior for me. As far as the comment about why there's not that many dodge fans, that's just plain stupid, almost as bad as going for a sponsor, I'm not going for kk now that he's driving the bud car. I dont go for jr because of tchevy.

 

Tony is one of my favorites, but he's starting to whine about tires and sounds more and more like Jeff-Boy....

Dusty

 

they all feel that way about the tires, tony is just the one who is speaking up

 

midnight i'm almost like you except it is kurt, newman, kasey, dario and hornish. I like Dario when he was in open wheel, and hornish is part of penske so automatic thumbs up. Liked kurt cause he took over the blue deuce and grew on me.

 

First, I am a Richard Petty fan. Second, I am a pontiac fan. Thus, with both being retired, I kinda follow gordon. Love him or hate him, he is a heck of a driver, probably be one of the best ever. Jr. isn't that good in my opinion, and for Dale sr., we'll just leave it alone.

 

I love the dodge boys racing team! I wish the poll had robby gordon on it beacuse he's my actual fav. How can you not like someone with Jack Daniels written across his chest? My next choice is Kasey Kahne so I choose him for the poll. like im gonna waste my vote on other? naw! i gotta give a shotout to my Dodge Boys![X(][:-]
