As for my dislikes. I cheer the driver and not the car or team. That is unless like Jarrett they cross over and drive a Toyota. That will end it for me.
So if Jeff Gordon and the entire Hendricks team decided to take the big $$ and go with Honda next year, you would still like that and root for him. Don't think that is too far from reality to think of. Look at Rick Hendrick, Big Honda dealer (12 Acura/Honda dealerships) and it was that relationship back in the 90's that made him a convicted (albeat pardoned by Clinton) felon. With economy tighting and US car manufacturers hurting, don't be surprised if GM, Ford & Chrysler won't cut back on support to Nascar teams. Needing big cash, Hendrick jumps on the Honda money so fast it blaze past you like an Accord with a Fart Pipe.
