>I have to say I like his teammate (MW) - I used to work for Western Auto - years ago, and DW was the driver of the old 17 car (at that time, he liked to drive in the back of the field - so he wouldn't get the car dirty).

I think Mikey is a good driver but a better personality.

>When I was in college - I worked in Center Point, Alabama - which is NE of Birmingham. We would be the store where they would bring the car to show off. I remember one time - there was at least 10 cars on the road there - Napa, Texaco, Pennzoil, Miller Lite, Coors, etc. Was real cool when they loaded/unloaded the Western Auto car.

I didn't become a NASCAR fan until after I'd moved to Georgia from Illinois. I still remember the even that did it. Big E put his car between two others with no room for error. When I saw that, I said, "This is cool". Beeen hooked ever since.
