Kansas "News" and Notes



--First off, thoughts go out to anybody affected by the terrorist attacks in Boston or the industrial explosion in Texas.

--I think we could ALL use a good laugh, and we're gonna get one--Sam Hornish Jr. is running Cup this weekend.

--How much sense does it make to have one Nationwide Series race in four weeks?  About as much sense as it makes to have zero Camping World Truck Series races in four weeks.

--The Penske crew-members suspended after Texas will be able to participate this weekend while the penalty is under appeal.  I'm guessing that the 2 team was given a "Remember when you squealed on Hendrick?" inspection, while the 22 car was given a "We really, really don't like your driver very much" inspection.

--So, am I the only one who saw that commercial for the Michael Waltrip Celebrity Cruise, or am I imagining horrible things again?
