1. Steroids and HGH weren't even on NASCAR's list until...2008.
No idea their testing regimen...if there is one.

I know that this may be "a shot" at another poster, but I just wanted to add a bit of fact to the premise.

2. Why would you test Jeff Gordon for steroids?
I mean, a quick glance at the man would take care of any suspicions.

;)

For the record, I pull for him. Jeff Gordon makes my Earnhardt-loving Aunt and Uncle (who, incidentally, I can't stand) absolutely livid.

Go 24.

7. Me, Too
I used to root for Gordon to win, even though i'm not much of a racing fan, just to irritate the Gordon haters.

3. Please keep the steroids issue in the context of athletes
I don't think too many people care whether or not non-athletes take steroids.

9. heh heh.
But you have a point- Why would Steroids help a driver? Do they need to rip the wheel off its column or something?

The crews, however, that's a different story......

5. They get fined for what they do to their cars not their bodies
Johnson's crew chief, the bill billicheck of NASCAR, had his share of fines, penalties and suspensions the past two seasons. And not for being a hero.

12. Is Johnson really that good a coach/strategian? I mean, that's why
you compared him to Bellicheck, right? That's what anyone would do.

14. NO
I wasn't talking about Johnson, I was talking about his crew chief who has been fined the last two seasons for cheating. If billichick is so good why did he need to cheat? He's either a cheater or a moral degenerate, most likely both.

13. 49ers went 5-2
in their final 7 games, finishing only 2 games behind the Cards. You'll be singing a different tune next season when they win the division.
