The 2013 Chevy SS
Stock Car Racing History
I was so sick of that checkered illusion. I look forward to seeing the rest of the cars and new schemes.

Here it is. What do you think?
Gonna do a little re-evaluating over the off season. Need to look more at the team, car owner and driver and less at the sticker above the grill.
He is in a Chevy but he has ties to Hendrick. That's what I'm trying to avoid, but it's looking more and more like an impossibility. Right now I'm leaning towards Kurt Busch but just don't know how long and can pull for him and not be nauseous. I sure wish Dodge was staying in the sport.
Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me with a few picks. It is very hard to be excited for the sport I've followed for 40 years when I don't have a driver or team that I can cheer for.
I haven't always been this way, I owned a Ford, One Time. Biggest mistake of my life. Leaked oil, had so many electrical issues I never knew what would go out next. First the Air died, then the fan, the horn quit, follwed by the turn signals. Soon the headlights started going on and off while driving. So here I am driving a F100 that didn't even have a vent fan to cool me or defrost the windshield. I had to rig a button straight wiredto the horn and toggle switches for my turn signals, and when I stoped somewhere I had to make sure it wasn't on a clean surface because of the oil I would leave behind. It was only 7 years old when I got rid of it. Never had that kind of luck if it had GM on the key.
Guess not. I have grown old with a hatred of Ford and the thought of pulling for anything claiming to be a Ford is hard. When I watch TV or go to a race, it"s not the driver I see, it's the hunk of metal with a brand stuck on it. I remember when I was the norm, when most stuck with the brand they loved. The sport has not onlyhomogenized the drivers, now they have homogenized the cars as well.
I have been pulling for Big Bad Brad all year and will till Monday morning. After that I don't know.
No, she drives a DANG Lexus, a glorified Toyota! I hate it to.
I guess I'm the last of a dieing breed. I know they are not "Stock" cars anymore, haven't been from the first day I became a fan. They have always been altered in someway since the Banana Car and Smokey's Chevelle. Over the years my favorite drivers have retired, but the Chevy brand remained and I could jump to another driver. Not so easy for me today.
