Kinda' cool that ABC is highlighting the Mustang, let alone tell us the newest one Ford is working on will be smaller and apparently with the look of the original.

Have to admit that in recent years, my following of NASCAR has ebbed a lot for a host of reasons. But, this travesty of putting Jimmie Johnson and his team back in the hunt smacks of heavy favoritism. Now, being  a Ford fan, one could say I'm biased....and I am. But, if Knaus and Hendrick weren't cheating, why is the $100,000 fine still being assessed?

I'd love to see Ford, Dodge and Toyota teams boycott the next race and sit it out, that and the other Chevy teams that do play by the rules. Ain't gonna happen though, is it?  And they wonder why fan enthusiasm has declined!   

I'll guess, in no order, that either Biffle, Kenseth or Edwards will win.

in the near future. Funny, had never heard of Truecar until this article hit. The son of a friend has worked for a large Chicagoland multi-make dealership as their internet marketing expert for some years now. He told me that each year more and more leads and initial contact comes solely from the 'Net; about 30-35% of all contact is now via e-mail, website replies, etc. and more like 70% for the under 30 crowd.
