My apologies to Jr. Nation

This is very, very hard for me to admit.
But I am afraid it is all my fault.
Jr. used to dominate at Talladega.
Since he started full-time in Sprint Cup racing in 2000, he has won at 'Dega 5 times.
In a total of 18 starts here, he has 7 top 5 finishes and 10 top 10s.
(yes I realize it is sad I know these stats)

But he has not won a race at this super speedway since 2004.
And it is time for me to come clean.

Lee and I started going to races in the spring of 2005.
We have been to 7 of the last 8 races.
In 2 of those races Jr. wrecked (not either his fault, please note) and in another 2 races he blew an engine (stupid DEI).
His highest finished has been 7th and that was in the race we missed.

I hate that it has come to this but it feels good to get it off my chest.
My sincerest apologies to all of my fellow loyal Jr. fans.

I must just make him nervous.
:)

Such a cute picture of you with his car. I'm sure he's totally freaking out - 'that Gretchen girl is here again' - I can just hear him!! You know, I secretly think Kenny feels the same way when I'm at one of his shows ;)
