Might be..

Do they still run the John Deere car. Man, I was so excited when Deere had a race car. I think the driver was, Chad Little? Does he still race? I know, it has been a while, since I have watched a full season of NASCAR. :P

Chad is no longer racing, he was doing TV with SpeedTV as part of their pre-race Race Day show but that was several years ago. From Wikipedia: Little now has a part-time studio analyst job for Speed Channel. He is also the President for the Mexican NASCAR series. In July of 2006 Little attempted something of a comeback, competing with a group of lawyers in a go-kart competition. While it took him some time to adjust to the considerably smaller automobile, he made it to the final race and finished 5th. He got his butt kicked by a group of lawyers. His best race was the inaugural Texas race where he finished 2nd that day to a Roush teammate, Jeff Burton. John Deere is no longer doing Nascar, prolly because Chad rarely had the car up front to where the TV guys could say, "And nothing runs like a Deere today."

While the color green is considered unlucky in Nascar, Harry Gant did very well in a green and white Skoal Bandit car. Casey Mears best races in his former Ganassi car came when he was driving a green colored car. Even Jeff Gordon has gotten in on it and has had good top 10 runs with a green car. Brian Vickers ran a green colored car a number of times with Hendrick and did ok. The color has started to no longer be considered unlucky these days but the old timers like Jarrett, Rudd and Scharder will not run it.

Man, the Toyota's got stomped in 500 practice this morning. Mayfield was fastest at 20th for Toyota. Yates smoked'em all. The old Red Rooster Ricky Rudd was fastest with his teammate right behind him in mock qaulifying runs. Fastest on a consistent basis, Sterling Marlin who ran the 3rd fastest speed.

But Yoop, he won a title in a green car along with all of his Cup wins. Dale Jarrett won the Daytona 500 with the same green car Bobby Labonte used to drive. DW won a number of races and 2 titles in the green and white #11 Mountain Dew car of Junior Johnson.

Carl Edwards won with a greenish car. 1st career win was at Atlanta in the Scott's Lawn Care car. Lot of drivers are still superstitous of running a green car for fear of having bad luck but of recent it has shown to be the opposite.

Some drivers do not eat peanuts at all while others don't eat them during the race weekend(Friday-Sunday.) They say it brings bad luck to them. Racecar drivers are a very superstitous bunch, guess ya gotta be when your driving 190mph.

It's race time, NASCAR IS BACK
