--Last year this was the site of Brian Vickers' one-man war against his own career, with Matt Kenseth's car as the battlefield.
--You may not know this, but I'm sponsoring the new #19 car driven by Mike Bliss. Yeah, I don't have a logo on it, but that's because its stealth marketing. Very, VERY stealth marketing.
--Sure, Penske is debuting the new Dodge engine this week, but they're leaving at the end of the year. That's like divorcing your spouse at age 80.

--Bored by all the long green-flag runs lately? Don't worry--Sam Hornish Jr.'s planning a comeback!
