Negative.
There are probably 41 cars in the field that I'd root for before either of them.
I grew up a Rusty Wallace/Mark Martin fan. Stewart and Carl Edwards are probably my two of my favorite drivers now.

It aint about driving.....It's about bringing in money and winning does not mean money. Jr will take his fans and the merchandising away from DEI. DEI is now DOA.
I really just dont get the whole thing since they just go round and round and round. I used to fly the medevac helos for some of the races and it was fun being able to walk around pit row during the races. I flew more drunks that fell off their mobile homes and cracked their heads open than I did drivers in accidents.

Yeah, the money he pulls in on commercials and those god-awful 8 stickers is insane. I read that even the lowest-paid, least popular circuit regular pulls in over $10million from promotional goods like shirts and hats.
The cars and drivers have taken enormous strides in safety in recent years. This is the story with every major racing body. Sadly the stupidity of those in the stands probably hasn't changed a bit.
