Darlington "News" and Notes



--Late-Breaking News:  Clint Bowyer just picked up sponsorship from KFC's "I Ate The Bones" campaign.  I guess it goes to show you that if you do about 40 different commercials in 2012, there's almost nobody left to sponsor you in 2013.
--More Late-Breaking News:  Danica Patrick will be switching to a backup car after brushing the wall at The Lady in Black in practice.  Jeez, why can't women get along with each other?
--Kurt Busch passed his Rookie Test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, filling Nascar fans everywhere with dreams of someone finally taking Kurt off our hands.
--Denny Hamlin plans to run the entire race this week, meaning that Brian Vickers will have to go back to his old raceday routine of getting on Mark Martin's radio and asking if his refrigerator is running.
--Joe Nemechek's new sponsor this week, "Royal Teak Collection", produces high-quality outdoor furniture made of teak wood.  In case you're wondering, this company has nothing to do with Jeremy Mayfield's last sponsor, Tweak.
