Talladega

Oh my! If you haven't seen the last second Carl Edwards crash from Talladega, here it is!

TNT "Wide Open" Telecast

Is it just me, or is it insanely annoying.

At first your thinking, "hey this isn't so bad", but then they take a "local" break with normal commercials. It's like "what the hell". Only to be followed up by more wide open commercials.

ARGHH!

Hendrick makes a play for Stewart...

Is there any other way to view the move to bring on Mark Martin? I know they say he's going to do one full season and split time again, but is Rick Hendrick really going to field a car that can't win in 2010?

Seems unlikely to me. Maybe Keselowski is the man, but why make him run a partial schedule in 2010? I think they are going to make one big push for Tony.

Deported

It seems as though Jacques Villeneuve is the latest casulaty in the battle against "undocumented" workers.

Without official US sponsorship he could soon be deported back to the nation of open wheels.

"I just want to work and provide a better life for my family", Villeneuve said.

With the recent foreign invasion, some NASCAR conservatives are looking for a way, any way to stem the tide.

"Obviously the soft walls aren't working, maybe we need to get back to something tougher" one insider was quoted as saying.

Will this have an effect on other foreign born drivers? Hard to say, but NASCAR CONS are on the lookout.

Rock 'em Sock 'em Racers!

With Kurt and Tony starting the year off right, I thought wouldn't it be cool if there was a NASCAR version of rock 'em sock 'em robots?

I can see it now "collect them all!" "interchangable drivers to keep up with the fueds". This thing could go platinum!

Kenseth vs Edwards, Busch vs Busch, Stewart vs all comers.

I want to pre order mine for the holidays.

Ding Ding Ding...

Round 1 is scored for Tony Stewart in his heavy weight bout with Kurt Busch. We'll just assume that he did in fact punch Kurt Busch and therefore I can tell you that one of my preseason predictions was wrong (I thought Kurt and Kyle would be the first scuffle) and it happened in the Preseason.

I predict that Kurt will sneak up on Tony and pull him to the ground by his long wavy locks. All we need is some mud this would be almost as good as a chick fight.

I for one hope to see more of this; more animosity, more fender rubbing, more chrome horns, just more!

There are a lot of drivers who genuinely do not care for one another and if those feelings are allowed to come out.... look out!

Bud Shootout

This race was sooo boring, single file racing, no passing NASCAR just isnt the same....

Wait a second, what's that? You mean they actually "raced"? Two wide even? Ok sure, it was just preseason, but that was fun to watch.

Was Juniors win the beginning of a huge season? He looked pretty stout in that new AMP, National Guard, Hendrick Motorsports Chevy Impala.
