--Kurt Busch has made it official: He WILL be attempting the Indy 500/Coke 600 "Double" on Memorial Day Sunday. This will give Kurt the chance to piss off TWO fan-bases in a single day.
--Speaking of Indy, they've announced that their qualifying procedures have been completely overhauled. Just another case of IndyCar ripping off Nascar by instituting unnecessary rules changes that no one understands.

| The Labontes in more-succesful (and garish) times |
--Have you seen the new Mobil 1 "Smoke Is The Bandit" video? If you have, yes, that IS Ricky Craven and Hermie Sadler portraying two wooden posts.
--Jeff Burton makes his 2014 debut this weekend, but the rest of his season is up in the air. It seems like with Ken Schrader's retirement, all the aging drivers have moved "up" a notch:
Terry Labonte--verge of retirement
Bobby Labonte--runs occasional races
Jeff Burton--appears to have a shot at a top-20 when he does race
--For the first time in what seems like years, Danica Patrick will run a Cup race in a car NOT sponsored by GoDaddy. The new sponsor is Aspen Dental, which makes sense, since every dentist I know has a younger second wife and a big, expensive car.
