^^^...in cars that somewhat resembled the showroom model too. They all look like spec cars now with a different sticker package.
Now there is all of what made nascar in 1 picture!!! JMO - especially Earnhardt.Originally Posted by ZR

It doesn't matter how many times Jimmie wins, it's not the same as when Petty and Earnhardt achieved the same feat. Simply because they had to fight for it the entire year, not some 10 week pseudo "play-off".
Kevin Harvick won the pole position for Sunday's Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), with only half of the four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship-eligible drivers advancing to the final round of 12. Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch will start ninth and 10th, respectively, making up Row 5.
The other two championship-eligible drivers, Ford's Joey Logano and Chevrolet's Jimmie Johnson will also start alongside one another in 13th and 14th, two rows behind the Gibbs teammates in Row 7.
"Throw a blanket over us, at least one camera will be able to catch us all going into Turn 1," reigning Sprint Cup champ Busch joked about the relative closeness of the championship field on the starting grid.
Team owner Rick Hendrick shed light Friday on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s timetable to return to NASCAR competition, saying he anticipated his driver to be on pace to compete in time for the 2017 Daytona 500.
Earnhardt Jr., 42, has been sidelined from the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Chevrolet since July after two severe crashes left him with concussion-like symptoms. He was ruled out for the remainder of the Sprint Cup season in September.
"I think sometime in December the doctor's going to give him the final clearance and then we'll get him in a car," Hendrick said Friday after a news conference with the Sprint Cup Championship 4 car owners at Homestead-Miami Speedway. "He feels great. Everything's on track. I mean, every step that we supposedly need to go through, we've gone through, and I don't see anything holding us back."
Earnhardt, who has been working on rehabilitation of his neurological conditions since this summer, reiterated that intention last month at Martinsville Speedway, saying in a pre-race interview that "we're booking things as normal" ahead of the 2017 season. That included sponsorship plans, photo shoots and other logistical agreements in preparation for next year.
But Earnhardt Jr. also indicated he was eager to return to NASCAR's premier series, something Hendrick reaffirmed Friday.
Race for all the marbles in Miami this afternoon at 2:30.
LMAO @ Knaus for trying to cheat (and getting caught) at the most important race of the year.
Just turned on the race, nice wreck.
