NASCAR Off Season: Day One

And so it begins. The two and a half month NASCAR off season. I shall attempt to chronicle my own journey--that of fan and blogger--through the 91-day long NASCAR Nextel Sprint Cup points race drought here in the Fanhouse.

First day state of mind:
Denial and Relief

It's finally over. The end of the anti-climatic 2007 NASCAR season couldn't come soon enough for Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans. The problems with DEI have been lingering since before the season even began and finally we are done with it. Done with Teresa, done with consistent equipment failure and on with the business of getting razzed by the rest of NASCAR Nation until Junior proves it wasn't his driving skills by winning a race for Hendrick Motorsports.

Is it too much to hope for that win to come at Daytona?

How long will it be before it all gels for Junior at HMS? Can he realistically get his first win at Daytona? Will it be in his first five races? the first ten? his first season?
