Phoenix "News" and Notes



--I'm guessing that most everybody in the Nascar world had the same reaction to Jeremy Clements' suspension: "Who's Jerry Clemens?"

--Be sure to catch Mike Bliss's #19 car in the Nationwide Series--it has the "Blank Template" paint scheme.

--The latest Goodyear commercial has fine print "Professional Drivers on a Closed Course" on the bottom of the screen during obvious Nascar footage.  Um, did ANYONE think that drivers were unpaid amateurs on open courses?

--Smithfield will be using the same basic Petty-Blue paint scheme for all 25 of its races this year.  The other 10 races they're expected to use Spade Racing Hoody Award-Winning Red.

--While the new provisional system is likely to get rid of most start-and-parks (that's good!), the new cars are likely to bring back field-fillers (that's bad!), which means that Shawna Robinson might come out of retirement (that's terrifying!).

--David Stremme is back running for Swan Racing--NBS 24/7 fans rejoice!
