I will say that I actually watched the whole race.na and reruns of I love lucy, the choice was rather easy.....<P>All in all I thought it was a well run race with lots of excitement. If this race is any indication of what is to come the rest of the year, this will be worth watching.<P>I don't know how many predicted a 0 for 462 winner here, but it had a nice human touch at the end for the brother announcer, and probably for a lot of others involved. <P>The strategy sure was simple having the team 1-2-3 and Sr did what any good teammate should do. <P>I think the graphics Fox showed were pretty impressive and they seemed to have a lot of angles that were superb. I really liked how they covered the 17-18 car pileup near the end, they had it covered from all angles indeed.<P>The cool thing is that they had the race results pretty accurate and I liked the way they did it. I say their production was better than ESPN's when I watched a few races before.<P>Just my thoughts and ramblings even if it did cost me some money, but certainly I will get it back later.<P> <P>

I enjoyed the race as well, all but for the end. Dale earnhardt kept all contenders at bay,(i agree it was a great move)taking all the suspense away.<BR>Dale earnhardt told a reporter for fox,"Ya'll are fixin' to see something you aint never seen on fox before'.<BR>He was right!<BR>Also, at races end if you listened closely, the mic picked up earnhardt saying," you got me on Saturday, but i got you on Sunday" lol<P>Saturday being a racing term used for the week leading up to the race and not the specific day.This was an obvious comment for them(his pit crew) to send to marlin, as marlin outran earnhardt in the 125 qualifying race earlier in the week.A comment marlin must not of liked? <BR>I could tell by peoples attitudes earnhardt is hurt pretty bad....was not breathing( i heard)<BR>It puts me in mind of an old saying,"What good is it to gain all the treasures of the world, if you lose your life"<BR>D.W said it best when he said, you got to know how to steal to be successful in racing, or something similiar to that.<BR>The intimidator stole one today!<BR>great job!<BR>The first winston cup fued of the new season><BR>Earnhardts' posse vs. marlin...<BR>!peace see you all next week.<BR>

Dale earnhardt was tops in his field!<BR>May he rest in ~peace.<BR>and may god bless his family in their time of need!
