True fans stick it out to the end no matter where their LT> driver finishes. My favorite drivers didn't fare so well at the Glen LT> this year, but I didn't tuck my tail and leave. LT> I'm glad Geoff won the "Bud at the Glen". If any Team needed a win LT> it was that Team. I must agree with you on this. I've been a Geoff Bodine fan myself since he was driving the #5 Levi Garrett car in the 80's. I was young at the time probably like in the range of 6-8. I have never really lost the respect for his as a driver nor have I turned tail and ran when he wasn't doing good. Yeah, he had his dry spell but it's looks like he'll make some wins next year or a couple this year yet. I would however watch what you say about DE in this echo. There is a lot of people who will jump on you in this echo if you say anything they don't like about DE. I once make a comment about DE and I got like 20 messages about it. Nice chatting with you.

The car was handling perfectly and Tony is a good oval guy. Handling yeah, but his straightline speed seemed pretty stout as well. I know the straight depends on a good corner, but one car so far above the rest???
