--Apparently Jeff Burton was planning on running one more season, then going into the broadcast booth with NBC. Now he might have a year in-between. I wonder if NBC would let him work other events, like ESPN did with Rusty Wallace? I bet Jeff Burton would make a GREAT curling analyst at the Winter Olympics.
--Superstar Josh Wise will have a new sponsor this week--something called "The Pete Store". I'm glad he was able to find sponsorship, for Pete's sake.
--Apparently Juan Pablo Montoya has been out to Colorado to meet with Furniture Row Racing about their open seat for next season. Because when JPM left Formula 1, I'm sure he dreamt of the day he could drive for a mattress store based out of the Rocky Mountains.
--Scott Speed has apparently left the 95 team. Apparently they made one too many "Go jump in a Lake" jokes.
--Richmond means its the last chance to make the Chase. Who will make it? Dale Jr.? (Probably). Jeff Gordon? (Maybe). Brad Keselowski? (Unlikely). Jimmy Horton? (No).
