--Note--as I will actually be attending this race (thanks Dad!) there won't be a post-race recap this weekend. Adjust your schedules accordingly.
--The Red Cross has shown Kurt Busch as a zombie for some reason.
--Speaking of KuBu, he's officially going to the Furniture Row Racing car starting right after Talladega. Maybe moving to the high-altitude, low-oxygen Rocky Mountains will finally set him straight. Nah.
--Denny Hamlin is working with a sports psychologist to try and "love Dover", his worst track. Um, Denny, I moved to Delaware eight years ago and I'm STILL keeping The First State at arm's length.
--Better hurry, Elliott Sadler--only a few more races left to whine about your ride, your teammates, etc.
--Keep in mind that Dover is one of the few tracks that does NOT use an asphalt surface (using concrete instead), joining Bristol (concrete) and Watkins Glen (oil).
