Mid-December "News" and Notes



So wealthy he sponsored himself!
--Despite the pleas of fans, angry comments online, and calls to simply retire the number, they went ahead and brought it back.  Personally, I am completely AGAINST sullying the legacy of Steve Grissom by running the sacred #41 for Kurt Busch.

--Jeremy Mayfield's foreclosed mansion will be set on fire soon for firefighter training.  When reached for comment, Mayfield replied, "I like meth".

--Sometimes sponsors come together in natural pairings:  Bass Pro Shops equipment lubricated with Mobil 1 oils.  Bush's Baked Beans served with food barbecued over Kingsford Charcoal.  Cheerios, made part of a complete breakfast with delicious Dow Chemicals.
Yeah, I'm still jealous of Jay

--In the Nationwide Series, James Buescher has left his father-in-law's team (Turner-Scott) to run for RAB Racing.  The team is said to have some major sponsorship announcements forthcoming, which is to say that they'll have a blank hood at Daytona.

--Johanna Long, meanwhile, is without a ride for 2014.  But if she's out of Nascar, who will people have to pointlessly compare to Danica Patrick?

--Speaking of Danica, thanks to Nascar's tv deal, virtually nobody saw the Sprint Cup Awards Ceremony.  Then again, considering that Jay Mohr was hosting, that could be a VERY good thing.
