Juan Pablo Montoya is a danger.  He just wrecked my guy, Clint Bowyer...who was leading the Daytona 500 at the time.

This is not the first time JPM has wrecked someone.  But it's the first time he wrecked MY driver.  I was willing to give JPM a chance this year.  Chance over.

I hope that the powers that be at NASCAR do something drastic to reign that fool in.  However, what I'm really hoping for is a full season suspension.  Don't let him back on the track until he proves that he can quit wrecking people from behind.

So let's hear from all you JPM fans.  I want to hear your lame excuses for your lame driver.  And if he doesn't have the guts to face Clint after the race, get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness...then not only is he a lame driver, he'd be a lame human being too.

Go back to Columbia Juan.  Or go back to open wheel.  Go ANYWHERE but a NASCAR track.

Ever since the death of Dale Earnhardt, I haven't really had a driver that I've been able to pull for.  I mean, I like Dale Jr...but he's no Intimidator.  So I've just been pulling for Chevy, marking time until someone popped up and made me take notice.  Well, I'm happy to officially announce that next season I have given my allegiance to Clint Bowyer.  I'm even gonna buy some of his merch.

Here's 10 reasons why I think you too should be a Clint Bowyer fan.

1.  He drives a Chevy.

2.  His main sponsor is Jack Daniels.

3.  He crossed the finish line in 18th place at the Daytona 500 ...wheels pointed skyward and on fire.  And then he carried some Daytona infield sod around on his shoulder like a pro wrestler championship belt!

4.  He proved that he can win races...by winning a race.

5.  His car is black.

6.  He built a dirt track in his backyard so he can race go-karts and quarter midgets with his buddies.

7.  He can drive his butt off...and he does it in pressure situations.  When his team needed a win to ensure a place in the chase...he went out and won.

8.  He considers himself to be very forunate to be where he is, and is committed to doing whatever it takes to be successful.  Humble is a refreshing change compared to most of the self-entitled primmadonnas that are driving today.

9.  He's no metrosexual.  Race car drivers should be macho manly men.  If your guy has a weekly mani/ped scheduled...or even knows what a mani/ped is...you should be very wary.  Clint is a t-shirt and jeans guy...he does not have an account with Armani or Dolce & Gabanna(sp?).

10. His namesake is Clint Eastwood.  So you gotta ask yourself one question.  Do you feel lucky, punk?  'Nuff said. 

So there ya go.  10 good reasons why you should be pullin' for Clint next year.  I fully expect you all to be wearing Jack Daniels gear real soon.

So here's to you Clint!  See, I'm already brand loyal!

In a race season full of lowlights...there had to be at least one monent during the season that made you wake up and take notice.  What was that moment for you?

I know what mine was.

Clint Bowyer finished in 18th place at the Daytona 500.

What was so darned great about that?

He crossed the start/finish line on the track.  On his roof, wheels up.  And he was on fire.  When his car came to a stop in the Daytona infield, he crawled out, took off his helmet & gloves.  He then crawled back INTO his burning car, and grabbed a big hunk of Daytona sod.  He threw it over his shoulder like a pro wrestling championship belt and mugged for the crowd as he walked towards the infield.

THAT was awesome.

Unfortunately for me...that was the big highlight, and it came at the end of the first race.  The next 34 races had nothing that jumped out at me.  Long season.

I can't say that I'm not glad 2007 is almost in the books.  On the other hand, it just makes me wonder how bad 2008 will get?

So let us all know what you think NASCAR 2007's best moment was...and if you feel like it, tell us what you look forward to(or are NOT looking forward to...)in 2008.
