I got into car racing by just knowing a name in Mario Andretti. Everyone knew his name when I was growing up. I was to young to see his driving so I followed his son in Micheal who never really became like his father. Sound familiar? lol I am also a Jeff Gordon fan and more of a NASCAR fan ... for now always. I am also a Chicago Bear fan hence the Kodiak nickname as well as called Papa Bear amoung others Kodi but never late for diner.

So what do you think Mark going  to MWR?
Showing he is has no alliance with and brand of cars?
What do you think of MWR dumping David Reautiman in favor of a part time Mark with some plate races raced by Michael Waltrip and by the looks of it not running the double zero as a full time car?
Michael just keeps turning up like a bad penny and never fully going away.
MWR showing that he can no longer feild 2 full time cars and is feeling the pinch much like the other teams.
Will Martin Truex beable to hold this team up on his own?
A lot to ask of a driver
