Kentucky "News" and Notes



--For the first time in a long time, there won't be a full field in Cup, with only 42 drivers entered for Saturday night's race.  I care about this, though I don't know why.

--Danica Patrick picked up the Florida Lottery as a co-sponsor for the remaining two Florida races (Daytona & Homestead).  With that additional funding, maybe they won't have to start-and-park near the end of the season.

--In other sponsorship news, Caterpillar has re-upped with RCR and Ryan Newman beyond this season, carrying on a great tradition started by…David Green?  Yep, David Green.

--Kentucky Motor Speedway advertises itself as the roughest track on the circuit, which makes about as much sense as promoting Heinz Field as the worst surface in the NFL--yeah it's true, but who cares?

--The #77 team has announced it is going on what they've termed a "hiatus" due to poor performance.  "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Clown Show has been put on hiatus for retooling".
