Dover "News" and Notes



--Ah, yes, Delaware!  Home of credit card firms, poisonous chemicals, and me.  Sorry.

--5-Hour Energy WILL be returning to Michael Waltrip Racing and Clint Bowyer in 2014.  This leaves MWR with about a car-and-two-thirds sponsored for next season, meaning that RK Motors is about to become a sponsor for one-and-one-third of the schedule.

--Quicken Loans, meanwhile, will be following Ryan Newman to RCR next year, pairing up with CAT(erpillar) on the #31 car.  I hope that Quicken Loans is ready for some added exposure, because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that people love CAT videos.

--Refocusing to this season, it appears that Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on pace to have a record finish, becoming the first driver to finish worse than 12th in the Chase.

--TJ Bell steps into the #40 Nationwide Series car this weekend with sponsorship from The Fire Store.  No word on when they'll run the Beavis special paint scheme.
