AMRacer89 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 That's sad. The last time NASCAR racing was any good to watch was when he ran the show. What channel is the race on, btw, I have my TV set to FOX but all I'm getting is these stupid court shows. Just want to know how my buddy Jeff Gordon's doing.
