I don’t get to watch NASCAR as much as I used to but I still root for Jimmie Johnson to win every week.  It’s strange right now to have NASCAR without Dale Earnhardt Jr racing right now.  But I guess it is a taste of things to come he is not getting any younger.  What might have been even stranger is watching Jeff Gordon sub for him a few times.  For me it was odd seeeing Gordon drive somthing other than the 24 car and subbing for an Earnhardt.  I know they were teammates over the past few seasons but to me it was still odd.
