Not personally, but there were quite a few over on the NASCAR.com forums who said they couldn't support his decision at all, and went looking for someone else to cheer for. Now they're coming back on board with Junior. But then, that's a different world over on those forums.

I find that to be only natural. Obviously there are some (or many) that don't like HMS no matter who drives for them. For me it is difficult to understand actual hate or unwavering fan-dom for any driver. I understand that I have no single favorite and I don't really HATE any driver. Admittedly there are several I do not cheer for but hate is pretty strong. I'm not a big Penske fan but I was overjoyed to see Ryan finally break out of his slump and win the big race. Better than average chance I'll be happy with who ever wins in CA next week.

How (in general) do the other forums differ from us ?? Good or bad ?? Can we do anything to make ours better ??

Me fickle .... I don't think so, but thanks for asking.

To me it's just entertainment and nothing else, I watch every race, either F1, CART, IRL, IMSA or whatever. Car manufacturers are meaningless, is it really what the name implies? = hardly, I don't even know anybody that drives a Chevy.
NASCAR is making it's racing into a weekly soap opera, which is all part of the entertainment and probably a reason for it's success, but this continuous Jr, Gordon, Stuart thing is getting boring = need new cast members. As if anyone of us "actually knows these people"
If I had a preference as to who wins, well that would depend on the looks of the winners wife, I enjoyed Jimmy's victories last year (nice catch JJ), Newman's wife is nice but needs to do something about her hair. Not sure about Jr, as he never has his girlfriends in victory circle.

I don't like Rick Hendrick, Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson.

I do like Dale Jr, Terry Labonte, and Ricky Craven.

I am a big Dale Jarrett fan and have always said I would root for him no matter what he drove. I do even though it is a hard pill to swallow that he races a Yota now.

I don't like/dislike a product just cause they are a sponsor of a driver.... well there is an exception. Lowes and Dupont ( I don't think I need to explain this one).

On the same token I don't like/dislike a driver just cause who their sponsor is.

True, but I would find it very hard to stomach if Clint Bowyer suddenly had the Jim Beam logo splashed across his hood... I don't get along with Jim very well.

I'd rather chat with Jack any day, but if he isn't around, Johnnie will do.
