I think it's pathetic. NFL orders up to 150 rings for GB, and there's maybe 60ish that deserve it (players/coaches).

I've always thought that. It is amazing how many rings various people get. NASCAR is no different.

I wouldn't wear one but having a case full of them would make one hell of an awesome display in the man cave!

They do all sorts of stuff like that. Without going into the details, in the case of these teams specifically the sponsorship is computer/design software based for the most part.

The sponsorship started with EDS before it all came together with Siemens.

At least a guy can lie about what he did on the team. 'I was the backup to the backup to the backup....'

I'm in for Denny Hamlin

I cheered on Davey Allison until his untimely death. 2 yrs later, I became a fan of the up and coming Gordon. I'll still route on Gordon and Stewart, but this year a slight change. I like what I've seen from the Hamlin Hamster!

I'm a Hendrick fan, so by defaul root for JJ, but I really kinda wanted to see Denny win the title last year. He put so much into it and got so close.....the look of dejection on his face was quite clear.

I always wanted Mark Martin to win a cup too.....5 times second place just don't seem right, especially for such a great guy.

Hell Yeah. The best thing for Nascar was JJ winning 5 in a row. If that doesn't motivate every other team to win, nothing will.
