No, really. A poem, from NFL legend Brett Favre to current NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Junior.
And....it's on video.
We should add that both guys are spokesmen for Wrangler Jeans and the fact it's on video while Favre is representing isn't a coincidence...
But still, it's touching to see such a nice sentiment.
We think...
Anyway, here's your video:

Here's Dale, Junior paired with a new and, let's just say "different," KITT

NASCAR Fun: Hamlin Throws Car Part at Harvick After Crash
Oh those angry boys of NASCAR...
Saturday night at Bristol showed yet again why race car drivers need to learn somehow to control their tempers.
Racing under the lights with the lead, Denny Hamlin slowed slightly coming off a corner. Kevin Harvick, just behind Hamlin tries to get behind him, but misjudges Hamlin's move, hits the back of Hamlin's car and sends him spinning.
Hamlin's car tags Dale Earnhardt Jr, taking out his door and side panels and for a brief moment, chaos ensues.
Hamlin eventually gets out of the car and in a fit of anger, grabs the Hans device (neck restraint) and throws it at Harvick's car when it passes by again under caution.
It didn't do any damage, but the point being, why throw something at him? And then the post wreck interview?
Yeah, we get it, racing is intense and nobody wants to back down. But when you are driving that fast in a tight pack of cars, accidents happen. They always will.
For what it's worth, Joey Logano would go on to take the checkered flag and get the win.
Video of the crash, Hamlin's interview and shot of him throwing stuff at Harvick are all on this clip from NASCAR.com:

Chase Elliott Wins At Texas, Dawsonville Celebrates...
((HT: NASCAR on ESPN))
Chase Elliott has the pedigree with his father- one of the most popular drivers in the circuit in "Wild Bill from Dawsonville"- and he passed Kevin Harvick with a handful of laps to go (15) for the win in only his 6th start in the Nationwide Series.
And that makes him the second-youngest winner in the history of the series...
Here's the end of the race...
Not bad for the senior from King's Ridge Christian School...
He becomes the youngest winner at Texas Motor Speedway and adds to his resume from the truck series win he had last season in Canada. The race had 15 lead changes and puts Chase at the top of the points standings.
The series heads to Darlington next weekend...
And it meant that the Dawsonville Pool Room got to fire up the siren in the town square...

When Did Daytona Turn Into Talladega...???
((HT: FoxSports/Speed))
With the new cars, models, and aero packages available for the race at Daytona in a few weeks drivers and their new sponsors and owners got to kick the tires over the weekend...
But when you kick the tires, you run the risk of bumping into each other...
Evidence below among a lot of big names...
The money quote to Fox Sports Lee Spencer came from Brad Keselowski who said it was “unfortunate, but sometimes you got to wreck 'em to learn.”
There's that...

Your Daytona 500 recap: Fire, Rain and Matt Kenseth for the win
You could arguably call this the Mayan Apocalypse edition of the Daytona 500.
Why?
Well, you had the 1st rain delay in 54-years, you had a big crash on the second lap that took out some big names, a fire and a race that ended at 1 a.m.
And in the end, your winner: Matt Kenseth.
Okay, stop with the wild applause.
No, seriously, Kenseth led the last 38 laps to win his second Daytona 500 title...or as they say in racing land..."The Super Bowl of Motor Sports".
Kenseth was easily able to fend off perennial non-winner Dale Earnhardt Jr, who finished second. And rather than get into the details here, we probably should just go to the video, because quite honestly, there is very little that we can say, that would do what happened justice.
Here's the most bizarre incident of the night, the one where Juan Pablo Montoya loses control of his car on a yellow flag lap as he tries to catch the field. He slides and plows right into the jet dryer trying to clean the track from the previous incident.
((Video from NASCAR.com))
Here are your final couple of laps.

Dale Junior Still Hates Daytona
((HT: ESPN))
He's made no secret about it, but when asked what his favorite race track was on the eve of the Firecracker 400 at Daytona, Dale Earnhardt, Junior said something of the equivalent of: "the race after Daytona..."
He, basically, says the butt-buck racing style that has to succeed there isn't racing, and it's actually weird...
He was a little more colorful after the race Saturday night...
The HQ agrees... Daytona is boring and we sat through the whole thing waiting for what went down in the last ten laps...
If you don't have the horses, you'll finish where you oughta...
Have at it, boys...
