Yeah, I don't get eth whole Kasey Kahne / Bud thing either. :?
Obviously, they know what they're doing though. Doesn't matter to me, I don't care much for Bud anyways.
This is exactly what I am betting on.

Right, figured the Pepsi BRAND would stay with Gordon, was just saying that Pepsi Co is the parent company or whatever of Mt. Dew and Amp.
I guess we all agree that it will be Mt Dew/Amp and National Guard and probably the 81. We just need to wait til Wed to confirm.

I have yet to see a nascar run on a road course, so I'll look out for one. I'm actually quite interested to see how the car of tomorrow performs handling-wise (not just turning left, lmao)
