--Yes, its time for the 2nd-biggest day in racing (the biggest being when the K&N East Series overlaps with WRC practice--classic!).
--The Coke 600 is the longest race held by any series that doesn't involve multiple drivers per car. Its a good thing too--I hear that Greg Biffle sweats like a waterfall.
--I'm passing up the chance to go to a friend's BBQ to watch all three races. Knowing my luck, there'll be a beautiful woman there who's "…just looking for the insecure wiseass racing-fan of (her) dreams".
--Dr. Dick Berggren will be retiring from full-time pit reporter duties after next weekend's race at Dover. Here's wishing for a long, full retirement--unless he's replaced by Michael Waltrip or Jimmy Spencer, in which case I hope he comes back more than Sugar Ray Leonard.
--Matt Kenseth "spontaneously" decided to introduce himself at a press conference on Thursday, after no Nascar officials were available. Yeah, right. If he's anything like me, he probably begged the PR rep to let him do this, and was giggling to himself all day about the opportunity to do so.
--Fans were ANGRY about drivers winning early and dropping back during the All-Star race. Well, Nascar's been trying for years to be like the "Big 4" sports, and having an All-Star race that nobody cares about is just one more step to greatness.
--Is it just me, or is Brian France's head growing in size while his face stays the same?
