--Well, after months of speculation and weeks of promotion, Fox Sports 1 will finally be replacing Speed Channel. Its good to know that the same people who brought us "Drexel's Class", "When Animals Attack", and a glowing hockey-puck will now be responsible for about half of Nascar's total tv coverage.
--Though Jimmie Johnson has clinched a Chase spot, the rest of the field is wide-open. With that being said, pretty much the top seven in the points are virtual locks for the Chase. Well, unless something REALLY bizarre happens, like crashing in a sprint-car race in Iowa on a Monday.
--Kurt Busch is claiming that Colorado has adopted Furniture Row Racing as a "Fifth Sports Team". Um, I think that the priorities of Colorado sports fans are as follows:
1. Broncos
2. Broncos
3. Broncos
4. Broncos
5. Broncos (unless the Nuggets are doing well, in which case its "Broncos").
--Ryan Newman is inexplicably running a PTA-themed paint scheme this week. Its good to know that, after all these years, the PTA has NOT disbanded. (*Jumps back into meeting*)
--Has Marty Reid ever made it through an entire broadcast without screwing up?
--Kasey Kahne has had nothing but trouble with Joe Gibbs Racing drivers this season. In fact, he threatened to go down to the JGR shop after last Sunday's race. Well, take it from me, Kasey--JGR is HARD to find. You have to go around in that circle and there isn't really even a sign for it! Oh, and the Nationwide Series shop isn't open to the public.
