Congrats to Dale Jarrett and the #88 UPS Team for a great start to the 2004 Nextel Cup Season.

 

Not a Jarrett fan but everyone deserves to win every now and then !!!!!!!

What a wild race. It was interesting to watch. If the rest of the season races are as good we will be on for a good year.

With the tires being softer I believe we will see the OLDER Genration come back to life. I have heard that they are going back to setups from quite a few years ago and they seem to be working with the new tire compounds. Now it will be in the drivers hands to finesse the car until a fuel stop and not run as hard as you can until a fuel stop, like they could on harder tires.

 

 

 

Time will tell, and I am ready for the clock to start ticking !!!!!
