Ok, boys, get your mind out of the gutter!

I'm snowed in, bored, and got to thinkin'.

As you all know, I like quite a few drivers, but Jr. is my favorite. I have lots of Bud 8 t-shirts, nightshirts, sweatshirts, etc. I like the color/style. I also have lots of Sr. novelties, clothing, baseball hats, etc., along with other drivers. The design of these items is ... shall I say ... classy.

Now, with Jr. moving to the 88 for HMS with AMP and National Guard sponsorships, the clothing, hats, novelties, are butt ugly! I have contributed to the millions that Jr. has made in the sale of souvenirs in the past, but I doubt I'll be purchasing or wearing the new 88 stuff unless the style changes dramatically. When my family asked if I wanted some new Jr. 88 stuff for Christmas, I said, "No thanks."

For those of you who do buy/wear clothing items of your favorite driver(s), does style matter to you?

Funny, if you go to http://www.dalejr.com, the scheme is still all Bud 8! He needs his PR person to get on the ball!!

If you think you're snowed in now Penny ... just wait til this weekend. I don't buy the stuff but my style is just "NASCAR" and not driver related. My favorite hat says NASCAR - Pure American Power. It was a gift. No money out of this poor man's pocket.

I don't actually have any driver clothing other than one jacket, but I say, heck, if you like it, wear it. I'm sure you're going to see the "old" Jr. stuff being worn for the next 10 years, at least. Wear what you like - forget the new stuff if it looks like crap.

How much snow have you got out your way Penny? I see you're snowed in. At least it's not me getting snowed in by the ol' lake affect machine this time - yet. We only got about 8-12 inches today, yee haa! Hardly enough to bring the plows out!

Space ... last year you got it by the foot so I'm sure now a few inches is nothing. We got about 3-4 so far tonight.

I too have contributed a good bit to his sells. I imagine I'll still buy some of his new stuff. Don't know about any of the clothing, haven't really checked into it yet.
I wish we would get some snow sometimes but we never do. I'm still having to run the ac right now.

Style does matter, I must admit. I have always liked Bobby Labonte, but other than at the track, that green just didn't work for me! I wore very little of the stuff.

I wish Petty made more stuff that I lked as well.

Race weekend, no problem, but other than that, nope!

Oh, sure! Rub it in! AC! We're expecting a nor'easter overnight into tomorrow on top of what we got the other day.

Man, I hate New England! I was actually born in ol' Miss, moved up here to God's country when I was only two or so.

Dale's AMP green is even worse than Labonte's.

Very true! But I bet it sells!
