I have to question the choice one would make to befriend a person who continually chooses to live his life in a less than stellar light when it comes to his life outisde of racing.

Cajun...what NASCAR guys aren't nice? In my experience, they're all good guys.

That has been my experience as well Slot. The old school drivers would actually go to a bar with you and get the entire bar drunk.

And most of them still will, Euro. There are a few that I don't have a ton of respect for, though and that's only because their act gets really old after a few nights out. LOL

Slot, being a female and going out with them after they're done working is different than how they are on the track... there are a few in the business that don't have a lot of class, and I won't name names because how they act AFTER they're done racing isn't a good reflection on how they are with their fans at the racetrack.

My fav driver to hang out with was Jimmy Spencer. Man, that man is a riot and funny. I also like hanging out with Jeff Burton. He could be a stand up comedian.

Jeff is cool... I've never hung out with Jimmy Spencer. Met him once, but he's never gone out with us.

Thank God you guys aren't naming anyone that rubs me the wrong way.

Cajun, I think I know who some of these people are, but I am not going to go there.

Probably a good thing because I don't think I've ever seen anyone get nasty with a fan before, so I can't hold that against them. Well, maybe one time...

different strokes euro. i think my secretarys boyfriend is an ass and a moron. she seems to like him just fine tho....so i don't know i'd go around bashing him by name. opinions being what they are, you're entitled to yours--but i don't necessarily agree with you being so adamant about it on here.

If I recall eurobounce also said he liked Baffert, how did he and Jill meet again?

Sweet! What is he doing now? Mikey's got his own deal now. I'm guessing those Toyotas struggle this year. If you ever get M-ville pit passes, you know I"m your best friend, right?

LOL, sure thing.

Their car was slow as molasses... he says that they're having some issues with keeping the horsepower consistent and they need to work on some aero concerns. Mikey seemed pretty happy, though... Toyota is willing to throw a lot of money at the teams. They don't like to look bad. It wouldn't surprise me to see one of the Toyota teams getting a win this season, but probably not until the second half of the season.

He's my ex boyfriend...but yes, he is Michael's crew chief this season (#55 Toyota.) Last year he was Ken Schrader's crew chief on the 21 car.
